Most of his kit (there's loads) just suffers from the usual TLC issues, bowed necks, intonation, dead strings, high/low/indifferent action; I'm not saying it's all junk or anything, but he keeps everything in a drafty garage attached to his house and the temperature is generally a few degrees off of what's going on outside, so you can probably imagine what that's doing to the wood!

 

I did the intonation on one guitar and he said it wasn't in tune going up the neck.  Next time I saw him, the saddles were in a straight line across the bridge as opposed to (the regular) visual for EAD & GBE strings.  He explained he thought I'd forgotten to line them up straight - the way he preferred it - so he'd done it himself. 

 

D'oh!

As the saying goes. You cant teach stupid!
