Wayne Henderson interview

Wayne HendersonA while back Modern Guitars conducted an interview with bluegrass guitarist and luthier Wayne Henderson. The interview was published at the end of September, but we somehow missed it in our IBMA rush.

It is an extensive interview covering Wayne’s unique picking style, his background and introduction to the music, his love for acoustic guitar, his history as a luthier, and the current state of his business.

Included are a handful of photos of Wayne and various instruments he has constructed.

For those interested in acoustic guitar, or luthiery in general, you’ll want to take the time to read this interview.
