    Wonderful interview. Gage has a mellow, yet confident demeanor, and his guitars are stunning. More of this format, please!

    It may be next to impossible but my opinion of luthiery interview with South African Casimi Guitar would be a pinnacle interview. The sound they capture is like no other in the world . Excellent builders .
  • @johnlord1399
    Loved this interview. Can't imagine there's another hand-built guitar in my future, but enjoyed the insight, Gage's appreciation for the 'shoulders he stands on', and his approach to his craft. And of course, Matt's playing is always fun to listen to!
  • @SMAWA9
    Not my thing as a guitar, but I love this so much!
  • @RemoSforza
    Fantastic interview and phenomenal guitars!
  • @maxwirt921
    Great interview. I’d love to see one with my favorite luthiers, Dana Bourgeois, Kevin Ryan and Jason Kostal.
  • @squidwardjtentacles
    I did not expect moon spruce paired with maple to sound like that. Funny the preconceived ideas I have about tonewoods. That was a great sound

    Hi there, i'm watching your channel for quite a time now and i love it, it's very educative for me. I'd like to ask a question, what are you recording with, what mics and mic preamps ? Thank

    I thought the difference between 000 and OM was tje scale length but he said the scale length on the 000 was 25.4 (normal\long). So what differentiates his OM from 000 models?

    The sound feels heavy like as if someone stuffed the guitar
