Luthiers Beyond Limits: Alquier, Beauregard, Klein, Matsuda, Pagelli, Tao – NAMM 2018
In the wake of last year's Boutique Guitar Showcase, six luthiers have come together to present their instruments under the Luthiers Beyond Limits banner at NAMM 2018:
- Jean-Yves Alquier (see this article for the full report)
- Mario Beauregard
- Steve Klein
- Michihiro Matsuda
- Claudia and Claudio Pagelli
- Serge and John from Tao Guitars
Since the NAMM is a show dedicated to the entire musical instrument industry, it is rather encouraging to see initiatives in the genre that highlight the know-how of craftsmen who often make only a few guitars a year with an unbelievable level of quality and attention to details.
