By and large, I’m really grateful for the way Grove Atlantic published my book Guitar: An American Life. One of my few regrets is that we couldn’t include color photographs of the finished guitar. So here we go…
Rick Davis, yours truly, and the wonderful guitar he built for me.

The other side
I thought I’d also post a link to a really nice interview by Matt Richter of Gear For Guitar. It shows, as always, that a good interview has far more to do with the interviewer than the subject. Check it out by clicking here.

I knew you were still alive. Your stubborn tenacity will live to be 200.
If I make it to 200, you’ll make it to 1,000!
I am a trucker listening to the audio book of your book Guitar…love it. It was interesting because I started listening to it leaving Nashville on my way to Memphis and then back again through Nashville towards NC; All the time driving down the “Music Highway” as I-40 is known in Tennessee. I’ll admit I had to stop a couple of times at rest areas and pull my Martin out just to strum it a bit as I heard you describing guitars and the beautiful music they produce. It is funny how coincidences like that happen in life. I could have been driving anywhere in the States but I just happened to be in that area to listen to your book.
I have to tell you I’ve gone crazy looking for pictures of the guitar. You need to add more pictures to this site. Detailed pictures of every single component, side and angle of the guitar with close ups would be more than welcome. It would also be wonderful if you could post pictures of the process itself.
You know how obsessive us guitarists can be when it comes to our instruments.
Thanks so much for the wonderful book.
Thanks for the kind words, mate. I’ll see what pictures I can dig up….
