He fixed a couple amps for me in the early aughts. Cool guy, very dry sense of humor. He demonstrated what he did with my amps on his Epiphone Coronet (modded). He is a technical wiz...possibly the best cross picker I have had the pleasure of watching at close range. And, clueless dolt that I am, I didn't know who he was ("X", etc.) until later. I recall that he was more interested in talking about about hot-rodded cars than guitars. Go figure.
