The Builder from Hell

[Stickk]

Anyway, here's a quote he made about building, for starters


And a couple pics from one of his custom guitars

Case:

A knot right in the middle of the back (and where's the finish?):

Anyway, here's the thread (the "builder" is the thread maker), the good stuff starts to happen a page or 2 in:

Finally, the video review by the owner (?) of bmusic:

- The first of 13 parts

Can I please have the last 2 hours of my life back? One minute I'm watching the Red Wings hand Pittsburgh it's rear, then I wake up at midnight asking myself "what just happened?"

all i can say is when i saw this guitar and the video i pissed myself!

Hi.


Nice. I bet his instruments are top notch .

If the build quality is like it is in the pics, I'd say that the time estimates are lazy. Unfinished body or neck shouldn't take that long if the gluing times are deducted and the woodworker uses power tools and templates.

Yeah... those pics won me over.. So where do I sign up for MY build? The guy is self-deluded, half-blind or extremely lazy...

If he can live with it, so be it, I say. If he's happy doing it and wants to be all "I'll tell you about it", I say he has his bliss.

I, on the other hand could not live with it, if that is what I settled on?

No way.

I am so so sorry for trying to stand up for De Vries. The guy is a sham and as a result of my standing up for him he has claimed another victim. If you want all the facts and the pictures then send me your email address to [email protected] and I'll send the info to you. Someone has already suggested displaying the guitar at the next Melbourne Guitar Show to shame him. Ouch.

Please accept my sincere apologies for thinking he might have been a little bit misunderstood. The guy is a talentless hack when it comes to dealing with clients and building a telecaster body. I beg for your forgiveness!
