Excellent! Thanks for posting this! I wonder if we should merge it with the other thread about Ren's new guitars?

I think it was a licensing deal, or discussion about a licensing deal. He would supply the plans and advice, all work done in Asia.

Yes he was in China for some time working for the German company Shadow Guitars and also he did consulting work in Germany for a small manufacturer, but that was just short term work for him.

Looks like he decided to stay home in Montana now and in the video he said they were planning that workshop for two years already. Lucky move in those crazy times. Didn't know that his son was the inlay artist at Gibson doing all the inlays in the past when Ren was there in the Custom shop.

Ahh ok . His shop kind of surprised me it looked just like a house in the middle of nowhere which is ok but I expected to see a old barn/ woody type of shop .
maybe that comes later down the rd . Lol

Yep. Lots of lush overtones. Great for that picking style. Bet they’ve already got some big money lined up to buy.
