I gotta hand it to you, Alex. You're really good at opening cans of worms. You're even better at circumventing points you can't address properly.
My message is that Arie is on a level way above Jun period. If you want to save money, go ahead and try Jun but do not equate both because in terms of exposure and guitar repair skill Arie is tops.
Ok, will the people who believe this guy raise their hands and say aye?
Actually, in terms of exposure and skill, none of us can really tell, because both of them are damn better than the rest of us. You think you are so well-versed in the luthiery scene. But let me let you in on a little secret: you're not. None of us here truly are.
But, I admit. Arie is filled to the brim with so much guitar repair so if you want something done fast you better go to Jun.
Actually, you can't go to Jun either when you want something done fast. Anyone who's been to his house in the past months would have seen how stuffed the place is with instruments.
So, what next? Padamihan ba ng gitarang ginagawa ba ang isusunod mong hirit? Oh wait, meron pala. Pasiklaban naman ng clientele. Sheesh. You want me to address this one? Nah... it's an issue I'd rather not touch. Sige, I know. That clientele list in guitarhospital.net is truly impressive. Good for the man that such people trust him or at the very least trusted him at one point.
But if you ever wonder why Arie is filled up, it because he is busy repairing/reworking kapalpakan ng mga ibang so called luthier sa Pilipinas
Ditto on Jun.
there wont be any satisfied people on this thread.
Finally, something we can both agree on. But hey. In this forum, one out of several for Jun is pretty good, don't you think? Hell you never even had a guitar repaired by Jun, so that one shouldn't even count.
actually, jun has a lot of clients who were unhappy with arie too. so does that make arie suck?
Did you read this one, Alex? It makes just about all your new points moot.
Why are you trying so hard to turn this into a pissing contest, anyway?
