Default A look inside Stephen Kinnaird Guitars

Recently we were presented with an opportunity to make a short promotional video for our shop. Christie Cook who plays and promotes our instruments was filming a short video about her second Kinnaird guitar - her ultralight Sitka/Spanish Cedar 00. (If you haven't seen that video please watch it here: Christie Cook Ultralight 00)

One afternoon we were able to sit down with the videographer for about 15 minutes for an unscripted conversation about what the custom lutherie business is. He was able to take that short talk and cut it with some working shots and put some of Christie's music behind it. While our unplanned words may lack at little panache, we think that it catches the essence of what we do and how we think. We would like to share it with you if you have a couple minutes.




Thanks for looking!

I love the background music AND the background guitars - especially that one on the left! Kudos to the guy who put this together, and to you two for the great work you do. One thing you couldn't very well mention, but it should be, is how much fun you make the whole process. Thanks for everything, Steve and Ryan.

This was a real pleasure to watch, very personal and genuine. I hope you get to share it widely and that it brings you additional commissions.
