We had the pleasure of spending two hours with Rick Weiss, diving deep into all things guitars. Our conversation explored the history, design, and evolution of our work and how it has shaped what we do today.

In October 2025, we had the amazing honor of being featured on WGN Chicago’s “Around Town” segment, broadcast live with Ana Belaval. This special morning news feature brought the WGN crew to our location for over three hours, during which we filmed seven live segments highlighting everything we love about guitars and the art of guitar making.
