While posting in another forum (sorry ) someone said: "you live pretty close to Kevin Ryan!" I knew Kevin lived somewhere in Southern California but did not know where.... so I looked up Kevin's website and low and behold....less than 2 miles from me!!

All this time I've been wondering if there are any luthiers in my area and Kevin Ryan lives down the street from me??

Would be nice to get some tips from him....the guy is a genius!

That is really a cool neighbor to have Peter! I'm sure there is a ton of things to learn over at his shop.

I only live about a 20 miles from Kevin. He's really cool about answering questions. He builds a great guitar!

Peter,

If he's got some extra wisdom lying around his shop, I'll take some of that!

Yep, he is cool about answering questions. I sent him one recently about the radiused vs. flat (no radius) top discussion we had not long ago. He was exceptionally polite in his reply.
