In this particular case I think it's fair to use the excuse of trauma induced blindness due to the high number of distressing imagery within this thread.
WANT. Really want. I'm going to raid the piggy bank (Deckers) and spend all the money on that.
Or I might just get another Jackson, even though it won't be as good.

Firstly I applaud Mark's bottle in coming on here to defend his work. And for that he should get some kudos.
When anybody goes into business they are judged not only by their customers, but by their peers and fellow businessmen. It is a measure of how good a businessman you are not only by the quality of the products you produce, but by the way you handle complaints and criticism. A good handling of when you do things wrong (or are simply being accused of doing things wrong) is being calm, not resorting to mudslinging or knocking anyone else's opinion to make yours seem more correct. A good businessman will simply explain his product, features, etc and let a reasoned argument and his own knowledge win people over.
In this thread you have had your say and others can judge how well you did that. I think that any comments about you of a 'personal' nature, are probably ill considered. It should be pointed out however that if one puts information of a sensitive nature about ones private life on the internet it is likely to attract comment ... and likely, comment that won't please. An ill considered disclosure or remark made even two or three years ago is usually still hanging about somewhere online, simply waiting to bite when you least expect.
We are not in general idle internet trolls on here. there are professional repair men, manufacturers, luthiers as well as lots of serious musicians and some pro ones.
A thought: one person could likely be wrong about your work ... five, perhaps perhaps at a stretch ... but much upwards of that and I think you need to start asking yourself some pretty serious questions about your methods and ethics.

Mark, I am formerly an engineer I am proficient at metal working and wood working on machines and by hand, I know sub standard work when I see it and you sir have it down to an art.
Clearly you are correct, I must have no idea how a guitar plays properly.......... obviously the 10+ years I spent playing in a gigging band playing with bands from all over the world was just some kind of beautiful dream!
Perhaps the fact my band was in Classic Rock Prog magazine and on one of the CDs included with it was a dream as well!
Keep digging that grave Mark

I thought it was going rather well
