See Michael Lewis on Volume 2 of the Gourmet Guitars™ DVD Series.

Deep in the woods of Northern California lives a man who is at peace - with nature, with himself and with the magnificent beauty and sound of an acoustic guitar. Michael Lewis builds an exclusive personal line of archtop guitars and mandolins. He also builds the only officially authorized D’Angelico archtop guitar replicas in the United States.

Michael talks about Flat vs Round wound strings for acoustic archtop playing. (Video Clip)

Gourmet Guitars went to Grass Valley stressed and harried from 3 weeks on the road. There is nothing more grounding and peaceful than playing a coastal redwood topped guitar in the middle of a California forest. Sit back and relax across from the babbling brook on Michael’s property, and listen to him speak about the love for his calling to build some of the most extraordinary archtop guitars and mandolins of our times.
