Customer Testimonials: Taylor 12 string setup

I had a well known luthier in Columbus do a setup on my custom Taylor 12 string including having a bone saddle and nut made. The work seemed good but a while later while using the guitar for recording I noticed a strange light buzzing sound in the B and E strings. I tried to adjust the truss rod myself but nothing helped. I took the guitar to Dogwood and Greg was able to locate the problem. The nut was not slotted correctly and the treble strings were not vibrating cleanly. Greg fixed the nut and adjusted my truss rod, no more noise. He even smoothed the edges of the nut so that it was nicer than before. Greg showed me the inside of the guitar with a mirror and how the strings were not installed correctly. Needless to say I have found a new luthier!
