What an excellent segment: I watched the whole thing

Hell of an introduction pretty funny

great interview!

Rich said something that has resonated with me for some time about guitars: "functional art"

Much of a guitar's beauty is based on functional design. It's true: they are objects to be admired. But they go beyond drawings, paintings or most sculptures etc. A musical instrument is a creative tool to be used, to be inspired by, to play, and to generate new ideas. Or just rehash "hang on sloopy" to your hearts content. It's all good.

Was that the H137 he did few years back?

Remember when ordering a custom from Jay Wolfe, Graham asked my opinion on CNC vs hand carved / cut.

All I had was a gut response based on internet chatter. We the end user /consumer of fine guitars know little about building vs manufacturing. We purchase and play. 

Pete's "wood therapy" displays the vast knowledge gap between the people who visit and work at 225 Parsons.
