the Luthier Interview

Ask away...

Do you plan muisc to be your carrer? And if so what aspect. Like teaching or whatever.

Yes, if any way in creation possible. And I wouldn't mind teaching but I'd rather have a store where I also build and sell customs builts. Or I'd like to be in a performing career.

dream guitfiddle?

Are you in fact a luthier?

@gshredder Uuuuuu... prolly a Gretsch White Falcon

@mac Indeed monfreir.

haha luthier,like jack whites?

and do you consider yourself a shredder?

What is your favorite song and why?

Do you build your own guitars?

Spiders or scorpions?

Cats or dogs?

Strat or tele?

Les Paul or SG?

john or paul.

Do luthiers have a hero. Like, is there some sort of "luthier god" dude who makes all other luthiers look like rank amatuers? (other than the big name makers)
What do you think of this guy? http://www.connorguitars.com/
he puts a second sound hole in the side of the guitar to direct sound to the musician. I think it's a cool idea. The guy lives near me so I should go over there some day and check it out.
Phip

@gshredder Yeah, Jack White is awesome.

And no, far from it. xD

@btimm Oh wow... idk if I have just one favorite but some of my favorites are Tangerine-LedZepplin, Come Together and Helter Skelter-the Beatles, ooh, Kashmir ^, Rock of Ages-Def Leppard, geez I have tons of favorite songs. lol

@mac I've built some of them and bought some. Some of them are hybrids that I've put together from parts I bought from different places (including one top secret project I'm working on right now :D)

@case
scorpions

It varies

Strat sound but tele neck :O.

SG

@Null Paul

@Phip For me, I really look up to this guy that I know that's been a luthier for a long time. He is literally one of the best around. I wish he had a website so I could show you some of his stuff but it's amazing.

I've actually seen some of his before. THe idea seems really cool. I'd like to play one sometime. And you should man.

If you could play like any guitarist you know of who would it be?

That's hard... it'd be between Gilmoure, Page, and Frampton.

If you could have one wish, what would it be?

I want to build my own Strat from parts on the net. Is that gonna cost me more than buying say a new American Standard?

DANN LUTHIER,we really are similar,i always wanted a strat with a tele neck.qnywayz.
energy drink or coffe? or a coffe energy drink!

Have you planned to build custom Amps too? or cabinets?

Do you do any kind of guitars?

@skateboard Wow... I really have no idea... there would be so many things...

@mac I would say that you could build a mix & match strat from like parts off ebay for about half what you'd pay for an american that would blow a fender out of the water.

@g2112 I don't drink energy drinks and I'm not much for coffee but I do have the occasional starbucks.

@Emp I've built... attempted to build, one amp but failed miserably
but I'd like to try again in the future.

@AlexB I'm open to anything. So far all I've built is 6 string solid electrics, 6 string steel electric, 4 string solid basses, and 4 string semi hollow bass. I havnt tried an acoustic yet because building an acoustic is soo much more complicated. I'm looking to do it in the future though.

Hmmm, well, if you could have one guitar related wish, what would that be?

That's exactly what I thought! Thanks dude!

@TS Ummm... that I had an unlimited supply of stuff to build with. Parts, supplies and the like.

@mac No problem man. xD

alternate or sweepicking?

Alternate.

If you were to have one track to define YOU - what would it be?

Here's a loaded question, what's the best and worst guitar build/customisation that you've ever done?

@Jazzy Uuuuuuuuummmmm... ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh,,,oooooooooooooooooooohhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... let me come back to this one...

@Daniel... Let's see. The best custom built one yet is the one I'm building now. The best upgrade I've done though is puting triple humbuckers with coil tap and phase in my Kramer.

The worst was... a guitar that was I was trying to make look like a piece of of a wrecked ship. I'll post pics of it later. It was terrible.

Bump

Sorry, it's been a ridiculous week for me!


What is your favorite food?

What is your favorite food to cook?

Ummm... it's a battle between pizza and tacos.

I'm only just now starting to get into cooking but pizza.

If you had 1000$ as a budget, what would you do with it to spend a fun day/night?

Do you smoke? If yes, which brand

I'd wait til it was time for NAMM then I'd wake up and go to... waffle house, then spend a lot of the day at NAMM then go to Ruby Tuesday, then go see a concert, then go to Cracker Barrel. I know I know. I'm weird.

No, I don't. :/

haha sounds like au
fun day luthier.

how fast have you mesured your playing?

Haha

Honestly I never have. It wouldn't be very fast though. :(

oh,uhh for soloing scales or arpeggios?

Soloing scales.

lick every not or hammer ons and pulloffs.

lick every note or hammer ons and pulloffs.?
