In this episode, Steve is very clear in his sharing that he finds guitars to be the sexiest of all instruments, and we're pretty stoked that we were able to find Andy Manson, who makes arguably makes some of the sexiest guitars ever.  We get to hear about how his creative journey started and where it has taken him.  Andy's made guitars for John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin, Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull, Andy Summers of the Police  and Don Henley of the Eagles to name a few.   We have such fun talking with Andy and came to love his approach to buiding guitars. He really does let the wood lead the way as he listens to the wood and trusts it to guide the process.   Andy shares too about just about the coolest guitar project ever.  He is one of six master guitar builders who have gotten their hands on wine barrels from the age of enlightenment with its own amazing story.  These guitar makers are enhancing those stories and in the end, there will be six incredible musical instruments documenting the story.  Please keep an eye of Andy's websites below and enjoy this eposode of Kites and Strings.
