Guitar Builders Collective Chat
A weekly discussion about guitar building and all things related between members of the Guitar Builders Collective, a group of likeminded people from around the world. The show is hosted by Daniel from Devil & Sons Guitars along with regular hosts Arran (Adair Guitars), Scott (Bonehead Guitars), Mark Gutierrez, and Dave (Footstep Guitars) and features new guests most weeks. There is also a second hosting team on the last broadcast of each month with the team from the southern hemisphere: Corey (Saul Goode Guitars), Ray (Custom Unlimited Guitars), Brad (BB Guitars), and Glyn (Mr Glyn’s Pickups).

This week we chatted over a massive range of topics; the music scene in Ireland, the cost of importing and exporting, what quality of wood should we be using to build? How many guitars do big companies actually make? Should builders get a discount, and what does that actually mean for us and our customers?

Maynard is studying astrophysics and we can tell from the look of his pedals and his Newton 10 Amp (using aerospace-grade wiring). We discuss Boutique amps, price points, inspiration, and what we want to put on the inside of our guitars. Tye from Shock the Fox also told us about how he met Maynard at the Guitar Summit and the crazy reaction people gave to the Newton 10 Madsen Amplification Amp.
