~ Todd Krause Bio ~
"Warlock of the Custom Shop," "Builder to the Stars," "wizard," "warrior"...the list goes on, but rests firmly on the title "Master Builder." Todd Krause, arguably one of the greatest guitar builders of all time, began his work as a luthier in the early 80's during the reign of hair metal. Over time the hair stayed, but Todd had begun to move on. Apprenticing under the auspicious eyes of elder builders, Todd quickly rose in rank at the Custom Shop. Being able to adorne any and all hats--builder, machinist, etc, Todd Krause has earned his place at the throne of Master Builders.

[MrNebelful]

That masterbuilder dud needs a sense of humor ..

[crunkykong]

Greg kicks ass. End of story.

[MrMatthewLeo]

Greg was the most interesting part of this interview, he doesn't need to "take it down a notch" just because other people are less interesting or dull. He gave this guy plenty of room to speak (however snore-inducing he was, at times) while keeping it upbeat. Some people just have lame senses of humor and are not fun. God bless Greg for being different.

[Amerigo73]

There is a technique for interviews. Greg, please learn a little bit of journalism. It's not so funny to watch you.

Greg Koch, it's not always about you. Attempts at humor have a time and place. Take it down a notch.
