I have a written policy of returning the full purchase price of any guitar I build that is not satisfactory to the buyer and returned within a reasonable time. The guitar must be returned in new condition for a full refund. The guitar in question was returned to me with considerable top damage, so I took the hit for a new top and returned the full purchase price to the buyer, less shipping. I think this was more than fair to the buyer.

That was too generous of you. I wouldn't have done that if it were returned like that.

Johnny did a great job on my 2007 guitar, including customized specs for scale, nut width, string spacing, fingerboard radius, and tuners.
I chose him because he has a great start price for people on a budget, without any sacrifice in quality, IMO, and he also offers a cutaway option which I wanted since I started as a rocker, then a Fakemenco :)
When I has not happy with the action, he worked on it twice at no cost. I am lucky though not to have paid shipping because I have a friend that visits family near his shop in Oklahoma, and took the guitar along.
I will say that the string height issue was my fault because I did not specify at the start how low I wanted the action when I commissioned the guitar.
