Just wanted to share with you that I have completed the two guitar builds I was working on, using Jeff Jewitt's “Spray Finishing” video course that I purchased from your website. I followed the course (as well as one of Jeff’s books, and used the spray guns he sells), and both guitars came out great! Robert

×A year or so ago I got Jeff Jewitt’s “Spray Finishing” course from you, and it worked very well with my first two builds (a classical from scratch and a StewMac dreadnought kit). So, thanks to both you and Jeff! That was good experience for me to learn how to spray lacquer, etc. Robert
