I was watching this video of Aaron Marshall talking about his Schecters today, and around the 12 minute mark, he mentions how Wes Hauch has some kind of "secret" way to setup his guitars that Aaron has started using, but for some reason Aaron can't reveal what's done.
I just can't figure out why this can't be revealed. Besides the possibility of Wes just being an asshole who doesn't want us non-professionals know how to make our guitars feel/play better (seems like a possibility based on the stories told on this site of Wes giving lessons), what else could it be? The only thing that even slightly makes sense to me is either a) some kind of unethical resource is used, like the equivalent of using authentic tortoiseshell picks, or b) some really small shop either does a special setup or makes a special nut or something, and if it even slightly got more interest the costs and/or wait time would absolutely skyrocket and Wes/Aaron don't want that to be an issue.
Any other thoughts? I tried to embed the actual video but for some reason the site just reloads a blank Post thread page instead of working.
EDIT: If mods think this should go in the Luthier or other thread please move this, thanks!
