I\u2019ve been playing guitar for over 30 years and have owned all the big named guitars, and have bought and sold them as finances and children and wives has allowed!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Normal-P-P0\"><span class=\"Normal-C-C7\">I\u2019ve never had one set <\/span><span class=\"Normal-C-C9\">up professionally and was always of the opinion that \u2018well, John Lee Hooker\/ Leadbelly\/John Henry Barbee etc. never did..\u2019 And that if I was a better player I could make any guitar sing. <\/span><span class=\"Normal-C-C7\">What an ignorant fool I\u2019ve been!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Normal-P-P0\"><span class=\"Normal-C-C7\">From contacting Robin you are beginning a journey. Not a commute, but that trip to the seaside as a child, and the treat to the senses as you crest the last hill and see the sea for the first time, unforgettable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Normal-P-P0\"><span class=\"Normal-C-C7\">I hope this isn\u2019t too flowery for the shredders out there, the point I\u2019m making is that this genuine and talented luthier Robin will hand you back your guitar after working his magic, and as you strike the strings you can see the beach just coming into view ahead.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Normal-P-P0\"><span class=\"Normal-C-C7\">I picked mine up after a full set up, some electrical work that was required and a full fret dress, played it and chatted with Robin and was just stunned at the transformation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Normal-P-P0\"><span class=\"Normal-C-C7\">The guitar is a Korean made Michael Kelly, think Schechter type \/quality, mid-<wbr>range, nice but not a big hitter. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Normal-P-P0\"><span class=\"Normal-C-C7\">However\u2026As mentioned, I\u2019ve had all the names before and this is now the most comfortable to play. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Normal-P-P0\"><span class=\"Normal-C-C7\">The technical ability\/performance such as action, fret comfort, intonation and sheer joy to just pick an E6\/9 on is something I\u2019ve never experienced before. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Normal-P-P0\"><span class=\"Normal-C-C7\">Just for the hell of it yesterday I played a 6\/9 chord all along the neck up to the 22<\/span><span class=\"Normal-C-C10\">nd<\/span><span class=\"Normal-C-C7\"> fret, perfect sound no buzz, and just rang like a bell all the way. The man is a wizard!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Normal-P-P0\"><span class=\"Normal-C-C7\">Trying the guitar at Robins was just enlightening, but there\u2019s more to come. I found that once at home with my amp you settle into your playing and let go a little more. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Normal-P-P0\"><span class=\"Normal-C-C7\"><em>In the 2 days since collecting it I have had an inane grin as I pick it up, have rushed in from work to play it, got up earlier, donned earphones to play it before work<\/em>.
