This the first part of a six episode arc we will call the Montreal Guitar Show Series. Each of these six episodes will contain 3-4 of our interviews. Part 1 opens with famed steel string and archtop luthier, Linda Manzer; Mike Potvin, a great electric builder known for using cool and exotic woods, and Otto D’Ambrosio, an accomplished young archtop builder who also designed Eastman Guitars's El Rey series. We hope you enjoy the series. We sure did. Everyone we spoke with was gracious, kind, and extremely passionate about what they do.
