Way-to-go George and my hats off to ya for recognizing that you could learn something from a couple of pros.
Guitar set-up is a specific area where in my own experience not only was I lacking but many of the builders who I know well are also lacking. It's an art in and of itself and not something that weekend warriors or rasta impostors.... can just assume that once we have glued a bunch of wood together set-up is just another hour or so of adjustments and Bob's your uncle.
Nothing is more telling about a builder's chops than what happens when you attempt to play their guitars and encounter loose frets, poor action, buzzing, and a general difficulty in playing the instrument because the nut slots are still too high or worse.... too low....
Knowing what I know now if there was only one hour of pro training available to me in this Luthier life and I could choose where I spent that hour it would be learning proper set-up.
Good going George!
