One thing I'd note: While there's a "chipping effect" on the trays and bar of the FM board (that you don't get with the more solid Taki board), there is a bit of a trade-off as well. The surface on the FM seems to hold up better than the surface of the Taki board. I love my Taki board, but he spray-paints the points on and they tend to "smudge" a bit over time. I think the Taki is definitely more solidly made, has better hingework, and has better latches, but the FM wins in the surface department. I had heard this about Taki boards prior to buying one and got a dark gray playing surface to mitigate the smudge effect. This has helped considerably; if I had light playing field, it would be very noticeable.

love your videos Vin! Thanks a lot for putting this out.
Surely they would send you another handle
Your loose screws, just insert a piece of toothpick in the screw holes before putting the screws again. Tight and right!!!!
Unscrew , a little wood glue, a toothpick, let it dry then rescrew it
People pay extra for a reliced guitar!
