Nope..I just ordered from them...the owner's an old friend. I used to work with Jon (the luthier/a great guitar player as well) before, while we were still selling/reparing in a well-known guitar store in Philippines.

Hi katetot,
you guitar is looking good man. do you mind giving me their contact. I've actually been looking for a custom guitar maker in the philippines for quite some time. however i've sort of given up my search because those that i found did not quite impress me. btw which part of the philippines are they located? thanks.
