      I think Joel should be left off camera to do his thing. The man works wonders. Sometimes he takes a filthy guitar that's all screwed up and doesn't play right, he does a really nice setup on it, but before he does any of that he polishes and cleans the hell out of any dirty guitar and I love that. It really shows that the man takes pride in his work leave the camera out of his freaking face.

    I feel this time and that guitar were matched for the vocals. I felt that I could enjoy both equally. Great job Michael. Joel was great as well. As someone who doesn't know Jack about guitars I enjoyed him telling us what went on with that guitar. Nice work. Beautiful sound from that one

      I’ve watched every GOTD (except maybe a couple “Thumpin’ Thursday’s,” and this is my first comment. I appreciated the luthier’s approach. While fun to watch a driver, a crew chief’s perspective, in my view, improves my appreciation. Singing, also, a good idea. Not every set is an instrumental, oddly. So hearing the harmony of voice and steel helps.
      So, I really don’t see a reasonable objection.
