John does a great job and is very personable. I have an original Greg Rich Recording King from 1997 ID'd as #001 I purchased from David Schenck at Dogwood Designs in 2001. It has always played great. Knowing John from his YouTube videos, I thought I would take it to him for setup.
John made a number of adjustments, however, in the process it became apparent that the neck was slightly twisted and disallowed the ability to get my desired action. John suggested that I contact Greg and see how to get a replacement neck for his #001 RK. After making contact with Greg, he was able to help me get a replacement neck and matching resonator (Thanks Greg!!). I took it back to John and he did an excellent job fitting and replacing the neck. I had to call him in from his fishing trip, but he dropped his bait and came to my rescue. He did a great job, and it plays and looks great! He is currently working to straighten the original neck, so I can keep the original for posterity.
Thanks John for your expert work!
