Artisan Guitar Show 2023

TNAGLuthierInterview
Written By Lindsay Straw

Last month Zane Dumont and I were sent up to the 2023 Artisan Guitar Show, with the dual purpose of promoting the Sell from Workshop functionality of the new Carter Vintage Exchange as well as connecting with luthiers and trying guitars in person that we otherwise might just be salivating over from afar! We also did a ton of interviews and got some great behind the scenes video footage that we’re still working our way through.

As someone who’s used to interviewing from behind the computer screen, putting a mic in other people’s faces and thinking on my feet took some getting used to! But when you're interacting with a community of folks as welcoming and open as guitar makers tend to be, the task quickly becomes fun and engaging.

Rather than share each interview as it comes up, just reference the playlist below for all available luthier chats.
