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.
