some updates:

meet our tech guy Jason. He will do the final setup of all Claymore models, that includes complete fretwork details, nut work, strings change, action/intonation, etc. He is a Level 1 tech and was trained in Japan under Mr. Akimoto, a 56 year old Master Luthier. He told me Level 3 is the highest and would require atleast 25 years of experience and must know how to use japanese tools (not just the ones you can buy online).His teacher, Mr. Akimoto, is level 3.

Glad to have him on board :)

Awesome. What would it take for Jason to make it to Level 2?

I haven't asked Al, Jason can repair a lot of things like truss rods, bent necks, neck reset, and some others. What he can't do is restore vintage instruments or build a guitar or refinish since he don't have a booth. I'll get some more info when i get back at the shop. btw he have a Certificate posted on the wall, from ishibashi.

I've always wondered if there was some standardization in luthiere. It's interesting to know that there's one in Japan.

thanks paps. baka mahawakan mo ito soon :idea:

ishibashi standards lang ata i think. whats more interesting is that they setup all the used guitars they sell, buzz free, polished frets, pero yun mga gibsons and prs hindi lol. these guys charge a lot but im satisfied with the results, I had 5 guitars done, all consistent.

some pic of their fretwork



Claymore slays!!!

Ni-troll ako ni Rmansh kahapon...  :oops:

Buti na lang meron pa akong natitirang pagmamahal sa kanya kaya... meron ako discount pag kumuha ng Claymore.
