"And thank you for your kind words about my work. As you know, you have been a huge inspiration to me over the years, and it's your uniqueness (and others too) that pushes me forward.
And since I have had the great pleasure of playing your guitars, I know that they sound amazing too.
What you do is utterly original, and that is so
very rare."
