      Thanks for introducing me to this artist who was previously unknown to me.

      Another great episode.

      I’m sure you get these (unsolicited) all the time, but I have a podcast episode suggestion.  I’d love to see some interviews with the luthiers of SCGC, both longtime and relatively recent arrivals.  I’d be curious to know what brought them to SCGC, what keeps them there, what have the learned from Richard, favorite aspect of luthier work, etc.

      Again, appreciate all the time and effort you put into the podcast!

          Great episode, always great to see Richard.  It was interesting to hear his thoughts on the virtual NAMM show.

          Richard and Tad, thanks for all to work to bring us the podcast.

            Read the Brooks book years ago, great read.  I also met him at the Healdsburg Guitar Festival and had a chance to play the guitar that he had made by Running Dog.

            I’d love to get my hands on the book “The Devil is In It,” but it seems to be a limited run.

              What a beauty, congratulations!  I love my SCGC 00 with sinker redwood and mahogany; I don’t know what it is that Richard and his team do with Mahogany but the results are sure special!

                  Many thanks for the episode with Eric, he is an amazing, thoughtful musician. His music is so original and is always on my playlist.

                  Appreciate the time you put in to creating and editing these episodes.

                    The 00 Skye models I have played have been amazing.  That being said SCGC is a custom shop so they can do just about anything you like.  Basically, they made me a custom 00 that had the same scale length and body depth as the 00 Skye, but with the tone woods (Redwood and Mahogany) and finishes I wanted.  You should reach out to Carolyn at SCGC if you have more questions, but they truly are a “custom” shop.

                        I say go with the strap.  Ergonomics is so important when preventing injury, I think in the long run you’ll be glad you bucked tradition.

                          Great stuff, such an education.  I would be curious to know what effect different head stock shapes have ie. how does a slotted head stock compare to a solid one?  Does the paddle shape on the FS head stock provide a different break angle or the string?  There is so much to learn and I’m thankful Richard is so generous with his knowledge and wisdom.

                            Another fine interview, guys!  It is amazing the amount of sound that comes out of his ‘0’ size signature model.

                              Sounds great, I’ll do my best to stay patient. : )  BTW: watched Lisa Liu’s “Anticipation” video and… jaw dropping!

                                  Excellent interviews.  I really enjoy when artists share what they are looking for in an instrument and Lisa’s demo of her picking technique was phenomenal.  The interview certainly sent me to YouTube to see more of her videos.

                                  Thanks for the great content guys, keep it up, much appreciated.

                                  My Wishlist for some SCGC Players I’d like to see an interview with:

                                  Eric Skye

                                  Scott Law

                                  Animal Ventura

                                  P.S. after an extended wait due to COVID-19 looks like my first SCGC guitar, a custom 00, should arrive some time in OCT!
