#17 - Factory vs luthier.. what's the real difference? Pt.4 with guest Tom Anderson
Factory manufactured - or luthier made? What's the real difference? And whatever it is... does it matter to the player?
On the 4th episode of this epic series I had the privilege to interview Tom Anderson - a living legend and a true pioneer of the scene that later became known as 'boutique guitars'. The first guitar made by a small builder I ever held in my hands was made by Tom Anderson Guitarworks - and in some respect it's fair to say that this was one of the crucial nudges for me, on my path to becoming a luthier myself later on.
So... does Tom have a new perspective to enlighten us with? I asked him in the interview what would his advice be for anyone looking to buy a guitar - and Tom's answer was absolutely brilliant! Listen to the podcast to find out more! ;-)
A little disclaimer - this broadcast is targeted to all of you who enjoy guitars, be it guitarists, guitar enthusiasts or collectors alike! The program is not about the guitars we make in my company Ruokangas Guitars. I'm doing this for you, who are interested in learning more about your instrument. The brand or monetary value of your guitar makes no difference whatsoever.
Talk to you soon,
Juha
