Last February, I met Christian Métrailler for the first time, and he told me about his crazy idea to write a book called Jackson Charvel Japan, The Untold Story (website). This book, which is all about guitars and gear made in Japan by these brands, is now a reality.
The author presents his book in this interview conducted at the Wild Customs workshops (wildcustomguitars.com) in Vichy.
