Okay, I know this is a couple of months after the initial post (but I just joined)..... I own a Sigurdson blanca. Patrick, would this friend's name happen to be Rudy? Anyway, I have played Jeff's blancas and negras, peghead and machine tuners. I can tell you that he adds features you don't often find even in the big names....12 hole tie block, very sharp break angles at both the headstock and saddle. He reinforces his necks with a hidden tripple ebony support (NOT a truss rod, I'm talking recessed withing the cedar neck underneath the ebony fingerboard and unless you've been told, you'd never know it was there - it's nice to know the neck won't turn into a cheese cutter over time). Jeff is VERY picky when selecting tone woods and he often manages to find remarkable pieces of sitka that rival many German spruce pieces. Jeff often planes the neck flatter on the back and a little shallower (if you were looking at a cross section of it) all the way up to the heal. This makes the neck very comfortable. His guitars are loud, lots of punch, somewhere between a Reyes and a Gerundino (to my ear anyway). I'm really happy with mine and the workmanship on mine is not rough by any stretch, on the contrary, it's top notch. Oh, I forgot, Jeff's actual site (not the old Legend site...I don't think he's really with them anymore): http://www.sigurdsonguitars.com
