Modern maker Young Perfectionist Recommendation

#1

Post by BlueDunn »

I most likely will never be able to swing the purchase of an original so I need to find a maker who excels at a modern day version. I would very much appreciate recommendations from the vast knowledge base that is found here on the forum.

Maybe not modern as in age but knowledge I'd say Bob Summers.
Probably need to wait 6+ years...

I make the Perfectionist taper + many of the Young Parabolic tapers as well. See under "Classic Tapers" in my brochure at http://www.ziarods.com

The problem with asking Bob Summers to make a copy of a Young Perfectionist is that he made many original Perfectionists when he worked for the Young Company.

Art Weiler makes a good Perfectionist at a good price.
