First Act Guitars on DIY

[butzla]

Just saw a show on DIY about luthier, Kelly Butler and his Boston based company "First Act".  They were making a custom guitar for Henry Garza of Los Lonely Boys.  They were using Festool sander a lot and stressed the importance of a perfect sanding job.  Overall really impressed with the whole operation and precision woodworking these guys do.  If you haven't seen it, put it on your Tivo. 
Just wondering if there are any other luthiers among us?  Seems the Festool line would be right up that line of work's alley.  Good stuff. http://www.diynetwork.com/diy/ww_other/article/0,2049,DIY_14443_4838683,00.html

First Act Guitars are typically the guitar some kids mother buys for him at WalMart when they they tell their parents they wanna rock.

Hey you Dads out there, don't let Mom do this to your kids!

I can't imagine First Act guitars are sold at Walmart.  ??? ???

I believe they said that another division of First Act distributes the 'toy' instruments to the big box retailers.

I had the impression the the division making the instruments on this DIY program was a pro shop within the comapny.
