They also run Woodrite Guitars to give folks a chance to get the flavour at a friendly price range while still being show stoppers. Shea is an excellent guy with...

The brief hiatus is over and it’s back talking about our two host’s favourite guitar; the Gibson SG! The boys had the chance thanks to a friend of the show (shoutout to Connor!) to borrow a 1963 SG Junior, so of course they were all over that! And of course that meant another excuse to break out Al & Kasper’s personal SG’s to humble brag about those too. Hey, if ya got it flaunt it, right? There’s some catching up and some strange tales because of course there is, so listen in and enjoy!

Chris Nielubowicz describes himself as Florida Swamp Goblin but he’s also a tone wizard.

Chris Swope has been a lot of things in the guitar industry, an apprentice, a master luthier, a salesman, a corporate management member and now the maker of the most innovative vibrato to hit the vintage leaning guitar market in years.

Kasper & Al are joined by one of the coolest builders out there, Sam Evans from Cardinal Instruments.

This week the boys are visited form their old pal Scott Strange from Templo Devices. Scott makes a little of everything from effects pedals to guitars but what he’s really building his temple on is solutions.

Add to that his clever Splyce pedal which is a mixer/boost/solution device and you’ve got a unique approach to an often tired guitar products...

This week we get a visit from afar thanks to the absolutely delightful Glyn from Mr Glyn’s Pickups.

Now mostly retired, Dunn has...

In short it’s a sweet episode of chaos and guitars! Enjoy!...

More, More…. MOAR! This week we get to have on our good buddy Dan from Moar Guitars, again! Actually it might be more accurate to say that Al was the guest this week.  Dan’s been on the show a few times and it’s always an absolute pleasure so we thought we’d do things a little differently, so Kasper detoured during a trip to Germany and he and Dan sat down in the Moar Guitars workshop, about an hour outside of Copenhagen Denmark, while Al called in from Canada. It’s a little bit flipped...
