Let's hear it for Wilser.

Sign in to disble this ad
I don't know if he's the best luthier in this forum, I've never seen his work, but he is without a doubt the most helpful. His video's and tutorials are great. This is what this forum is about. Several just seem to want to post pics of their builds and offer little to no help. Wilser has given a ton of his time to help others and I think that's pretty damn cool. I don't build anymore but can really appreciate what he's doing. Thank you, Wilser!

yeah, i have always gotten useful info from him. shawn ball as well. without them my project would not be coming along as fast and as good, and it goes without saying that the final product would suffer without their help. in a way they could take a little credit for most basses made by forum members of TB

Wilser is an amazing source of good lutherie tips, and his videos are a great idea for anyone interested in the craft...

I'm hoping to see more vids of that new CNC pickup winder. How's it coming along, Wil?

Love is the extension of ones self for his own growth as well as the growth of others.

Bravo, Wilser!

Yeah...what the first guy said.

Although, I am biased because he's currently building my "bubinga beauty" (as someone else said).

But he's definitely talented! I couldn't have picked a nicer person to work with on building my bass, and future ones to come. That is, if Wilser will build them for me!

to be honest, i did not look at the videos before hand. i just spent some time watching all of them (exept the pup winder ones, for now), and those are some great tips man. my favorate is the band sawing one. toataly doing that on build number 2.
my favorate local bassist has the same last name as you. wonder if their is any relation. his name is Randy. here's his band

without wilser's helpful tutorials to help me get started, or his beautiful work to pull inspiration from, i really would not have ever thought of building a bass for myself

you are one of the best luthier's i have ever had the pleasure of talking to, though it was only on this forum

many many thanks from me, and I'm sure many many thanks for the countless numbers you helped.

Cheers Wilser - its always great to see someone willing to give freely without expecting anything in return.

I know youve inspired a whole load of us newbie builders!
