Golden Era Guitar Interview and Demo Session

Marcus from The Golden Era Guitar was visiting California on sort of a luthier meet-and-greet trip. He and I were able to set aside some time for him to come by the house and set up a little interview and guitar demo. We chatted about four of my latest builds, a few of their cool features, and explained some of my thought process on choosing parts and specifications. Afterwards, Marcus recorded a separate video playing each of the guitars individually to compare how they sound. It was great to finally meet him and spend the afternoon chatting and recording these videos!
