Quote....
"Building a guitar must truly be one of the most complicated undertakings that exist. The Luthier must possess an advanced knowledge and understanding of the nature of wood, the mastery of tools, the science of acoustics, the alchemy of glues, an uncanny patience and a conventional as well as artistic (and in Mr.Yong's case) adventurous disposition towards aesthetics. My most prized instrument for over 20 years is made from a more common form of hardwood, available throughout Malaysia, but nowhere else on the planet.
A specialty of Mr. Yong is his acute knowledge and understanding of the woods of this remarkable country.
He is an artisan of the highest order, and it is a pleasure to play his instruments. "
