Learning from the maestro -- Hideo Kamimoto

I had the greatest honor of meeting the legendary repair maestro on one of my trips to a guitar workshop and there he was conducting a master class in fretting and fret dressing. I was there to polish up my french polishing techniques but ended up in his master class and discussion in depth into the finer points of fret dressing. The guy is amazing! For those who don't know him, he has written a famous book titled "Complete Guitar Repair" and given for his reputation, his rates are still affordable for the average consumer and reasonable enough for him to earn a decent living.
