S3E8. Dion Guitars

We had a wonderful talk with Canadian builder Dion James, whose guitars are noticeable for the strikingly minimalist design, where the focus is on the true essential and inherent beauty of the instrument. We’ll chat about his time in Quebec learning from and building alongside Michael Kennedy and Jeremy Clark, and about his transition to Alberta where he set up shop crafting his own original guitar designs. He'll also share his experience running a cooperative for a variety of artists and artisans, and talk about balancing life as a farmer and father in addition to guitar maker.
