Talking Guitar: Stephen Strahm - The Hidden Jewel
IMG_3941.jpg
Earlier this year I was incredibly lucky to travel to Santa Cruz, California and catch up with several of our luthiers, including good friend and new luthier to the TNAG roster, Stephen Strahm of Strahm Guitars. This was one interview I had been looking forward to doing for some time as Stephen and I had not seen each other for well over 2 years and had a lot to catch up on. As with all our luthiers, it is always such an incredibly humbling experience to see them working in their own environment and creating these absolutely mind-blowing instruments. IMG_3942.jpg Stephen is quite an awe-inspiring guy, he builds absolutely everything by hand, on his own and you can feel his passion from the moment you enter the doors to his fabulous shop.
