That's place is a small house in Ann Arbor near me. Been there a few times.

yeah, I noticed "Ann Arbor" and thought, "hmm...Brian's neck of the woods...". (From his site) I didn't realize (famed luthier) Dan Erlewine was also from the area.

re: the intonation vid, the other companion videos are eludicating and informative to watch as well:

(Temperament for Fretted Instruments)

and

(Gibson and Martin Scale Lengths Explained)

Ha it's in the hands man .Interesting stuff, Big 10-4 on having the nut cut right, the one job I leave to a pro..Also seems the string itself or I should say its composition can affect the stiffness therefore its ability to play 'relatively " in tune across the board. I need to look at the video again after more coffee..
