and pioneering new guitar design

Going behind the scenes with esteemed builders Linda Manzer, Kathy Wingert, Rosie Heydenrych and more.

I found this fascinating. The pieces these women create, to me, are works of art.

1. My favorite of the bunch (appearance wise). But, it's a little pricey-- at least $8,000 with quite

a wait. I suppose that's not a lot for those into custom guitars. But, heck, some of these type customs can take 10 years to get. Not sure I have that long to wait, even if I had that much to spend on a guitar.

2. What kind of music do you play?

3. I just beat on it playing a few chords. Mostly folk music that I make up as I go.

Wish I had proper training, but it's a little late now. I can do some Woody Guthrie, with pretty good imitation of Bob Dylan mumbling.

I do have a nice acoustic, mandola and bouzouki. But, they aren't in that price range. So, I'm not complaining.

4. I love the blue one with the planets.

They are works of art.
