Shawn is a gifted technician and a very nice fellow. He let me stand in his shop (and take pictures) while he worked and he explained what he was doing at each step along the way... no "attitude" whatsoever. Shawn will be getting my business from now on! And NorthWest Guitars is a fine store as well!
