another reason to question his skills to me is very simple , example , I have vintage guitars , now I take a guitar in for a small touch up repair to a very qualified luthier and the repair is not to my liking , maybe he didn't care because it was a small repair , or he figured I would not notice , now I decide to have the guitar totally restored , at this point how can I trust his skills , to me its the same thing , if not even more important seeing how it involves my body , just saying
