dimanche 1 mai 2022 • Duration 33:45

For this episode of the VGS Recap we wanted to share a couple of living legends in the guitar world. Bernard Funston has been building guitars for 20 years and has a reputation for beauty, elegance and tone. The boys talk about a crazy experience with him you won’t wanna miss! And our two hosts were beyond lucky to be able to sit down with Michael Dunn, whose work is near mythical in it’s beauty, legendary quality and far reaching impact on luthiers and players. Now mostly retired, Dunn has literally written the book (two of them in fact) on guitar building, lost luthiery secrets and more. He also apprenticed good friend of the show, Meredith Coloma of Coloma Guitars. Don’t miss it! https://instagram.com/funstonguitars?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=
