For those not familiar with Joel, he was a guitar repairer extraordinaire.  He is the guy responsible for Jared James Nichols Dorothy les paul rebuild which was posted here.... and many other burst and vintage restorations.

The standard of work you see in his Instagram feed is almost unbelievable, especially considering his health struggles and disability.

Very sad news. RIP Joel.
