Lateralis, I like Jon, love some of the work hes done for atz but he's still a little new compared to the more seasoned players.

Here's a nut that Jon did for a friend of mine. It's not the best nut job ive ever seen. Tuning was very unstable and the raduis of the strings at rest were way off vs the fretboard. Notice how all the strings go in too deep into the nut. Also notice how the nut is angled instead of flat to support smoother string pul (this is how les pauls have to be because of the awkward headstock and angled direction of string pull after the nut, specially the G string)




This is what it should have looked like:



Please don't get me wrong, im not bashing Jon, like I said hes done some good things, he's just not up there yet (but its IMHO which isnt the law).

Edit Add: I also wanna point out that showing some faults in his work is not a bad thing, I really hope I'm not embarrassing him but am only showing these things so that people become aware of what to look for in a guitar. If no one knew that his nut fabrication and installation was wrong, he'd never get it right.

Like I said I don't care. If you favor the Western & European luthiers more, fine. Keep that to yourself. Don't turn this into another local versus foreign luthiers thread.

Yeah firemodel55 might be right all famous guitar company has guitar engineers and they pay high money for those kind of people who studied everything from ground to up. not sure about it but i hope they do cause if they don't then its not worth what we pay for.

This is no different with cars, every curb of a car has its purpose. Simple logic if you look at FedEx Logo you will see what i mean :) The FedEx Logo kick butt.

Pretty bold statement.  This really gets people riled up you know.
Oh really? YEAH REALLY.

So what you're saying is (I hope I get it right), our best couldn't match their best? 

What about our best luthiers VS American and European production models?  I'm sure we have something good going on in that context.

Peace guys.

I've tried a few of Jon's works from other forumites & I would say he's doing a great job. He may not have the same amount of experience but it doesn't mean he can't compete w/ the ones abroad IMO.

Don't get me wrong as well vhunter, I personally believe that Pinoy luthiers keep getting better by going the extra mile & it wouldn't take lightyears before they get known the world over.
