Gwendolyn Forrester

Gwendolyn Forrester is a boutique guitar designer/builder who lives in a queer commune in Tennessee. She creates and sells incredible custom guitars, some made from reclaimed materials, including using wood from a barn's door where she lived. This episode follows her path to guitar building and her personal journey as well, including the challenges she faces as a transwoman trying to compete in the music gear retail space. (You can check out her work at dismalax.com!) Thank you, EarthQuaker Devices, for sponsoring this episode. Visit them at earthquakerdevices.com!
