See George Gruhn in upcoming Gourmet Guitars DVD features.

There are myths. And then, there are legends. If there is one man who single-handedly shaped the vintage guitar market as we know it today, then it would have to be George Gruhn. Someone once said, "George Gruhn knows more about guitars than anyone on earth." His knowledge and insight have made him the authority on vintage instruments. Gruhn Guitars, store and repair shop, is indeed the vintage guitar Mecca of the world. As such, Gruhn's Repair Shop has always been the place where players and collectors brought their aging beauties. Some of the biggest names in contemporary guitar building sat on the bench polishing their chops at George Gruhn's. Gourmet Guitars were lucky enough to catch George at closing time where he sat back and shared his insight, knowledge and opinions about the craft of guitar building - past, present and future.
