Jayne Henderson, Kathy Wingert....

There’s a pretty good list here http://sheshredsmag.com/10-women-lut...u-should-know/ - also read the comments section of the article for more.

Best,

Rick

Of course Linda Manzer, then Kathy Wingert, Peggy White, Maegan Wells, Juliette Mosse, Noemi Schembri

If you come to Woodtock this year, Baker Rorick is featuring women luthiers, and I believe he has 10 signed up as exhibitors this year....

Thanks. I'm planning on going to the Woodstock Invitational Luthiers Showcase, so this information makes it extra exciting!

And Rebecca Urlacher is up in the Pacific Northwest I believe. Larry Pattis has spoken highly of her.

I can’t say enough great things about Kathy Wingert - her guitars, customer service - top notch.

Best,
Jayne

In the UK Rosie Heydenrych (Turnstone Guitars) is well worth a look.

Cheers,

At the La Conner Guitar Festival, I was very impressed by Rebecca Urlacher, Peggy White, and Chace Miller. Peggy White had a beautiful cutaway that was lightweight and super responsive. Maegen Wells had a sweet archtop that was expertly played by Jamie Stillway.

And Linda Manzer is amazing and very personable.
