Podcast 153: Luthier Nate Wood (Stahman Guitars)

On this week's Fretboard Journal Podcast, we talk to luthier Nate Wood, out of Springfield, Oregon. Nate regaled us with guitarmaking tales at last month's La Conner Guitar Festival so we quickly hatched a plan to bring him on the show. Before launching his own guitar and guitar repair business (Stahman Guitars), Nate went to school at Roberto Venn and then honed his chops working for Ryan Thorell. His own inventive guitars are inspired by some of the funkier American guitar designs of the '50s and '60s. Nate is also a big fan of using reclaimed woods and eco-friendly materials.  This episode is brought to you by Retrofret Vintage Guitars.
