Never been to Marshall's shop as I live in Australia but I dream of visiting his shop, meeting him and Brandon and buying a guitar. Seen heaps of videos to get all hyped up..

Had a nice conversation with Marshall about the feasibility of a headstock repair on a classical guitar. He was very knowledgeable on all aspects including the provenance of this 30+ year old instrument. It was a real pleasure speaking with him and appreciate his generous sharing of his expertise.
