Homeskoolin’ Super Bonus “Passion”

This one is pretty inside friends….
it could be considered long and boring for some, i totally get that.
This one is actually aimed at those of you out there who REALLY wanna know the inside shit on how that last little one percentile of top tier professional guitar set up and guitar physics REALLY works.
Did you ever notice that any time you see a person doing anything at the highest level it could ever possibly be done at, there is one common denominator you will find every time…..PASSION…..
I mean TRUE passion and a deep love of the craft.
There is also deep respect for doing things the RIGHT way.
Greg Voros, head of the repair department at Gruhn Guitars in Nashville…the boy is a true artist, and a dear dear friend of your drunk old uncle….i cannot tell you how much i respect this dude…this video should give you a real good idea why.
Greg is joined about halfway through this video by Lin Crowson….another Gruhns employee who has freakish expert level knowledge of authenticating and repairing old guitars.
Hope you enjoy folks.

    Before I moved to Nashville I came down for the NAMM show in 2014 or 15 and stopped by Gruhn. I got talking with one of the folks there about being interested in guitar repair and it turned out to be Greg. He invited me and my friend up to the workshop, gave us a tour of the place and very graciously answered all of our super guitar-nerd questions about the different projects going on. Nicest dude in the world and one hell of a guitar repair artist.

    Oh man, as soon as Greg starts intonating the Tele, I know that moment of dread: when the high E is off but the B is right, and you have to decide how wrong they'll be together
