We were able to exceed our promises this year in regards to Christmas orders because Joel, Eli, and Chris worked overtime, and myself and even custom builder Ryan Condon from Ko’olau jumped in and helped us, but also because we got this awesome new setup tech a few months back. Billy Dominick has been a luthier for 30 years! He worked with PRS for many years, Taylor Guitars, and most recently was running the repair department at Blue Guitar for about 10 years before moving to Hawaii.
Needless to say, I was excited to get him on the team and he’s been a perfect addition. His professional abilities have both helped with work load, and also added to our knowledge base in this specialized skill. Another expert in the building to consult and learn from, and to boot he’s really friendly and easy to get along with.
This one’s for you Billy. Great you have you with the HMS Ohana.
