Dear all, For a number of years I've been running Guitarbench but now have branched into short-ish video interviews with various Luthiers. I've put them up on youtube (and no ads). Here are our first 4 episodes/videos; I hope you will find them interesting and welcome any feedback. (Here's the channel link) - Ep1: Chris Wynne (Australian Tonewood advocate) on Australian Tonewoods & his move to France
- Ep2: Fred Tellier (Overall nice guy) on tonewoods in general and how Covid has affected his business
- Ep3: Jeff Jewitt (master of finishes) on the various guitar finishes and his current guitars
- Ep4: Jayne Henderson (EJ Henderson- yes, that Henderson) on building with a famous luthier father & how awesome black walnut is

I found these really interesting, pakhan. Jeff Jewitt in particular, talking about finishes, was absorbing. I like the way you let them talk rather than throwing in a new question every two minutes.

I enjoyed that am awaiting episode 2!
Good luck with the series. I like the style. Some of the luthier videos are far too long — you could add a few minutes on but I like the format!

Thanks a lot Andy. Absolutely thrilled to hear that you like the style, Some of them do run to 25 mins, although we try very hard to keep it to 20 mins!

25 mins is fine from time to time. It's when you start getting towards an hour you need to worry :-)

I've not seen RosieTGC lost for words many times. This was not one of those times How long do we have to wait for the big reveal about the new model, Rosie? You said the TG is 'currently' your largest model... is there a jumbo in the offing?
