Podcast 482: Daisy Tempest

On this week's Fretboard Journal Podcast, we're sharing an
inspiring chat on guitarmaking and storytelling with UK-based
luthier Daisy Tempest.


In just a few years, Daisy's YouTube channel - where she
documents the craft (and toil) behind her handcrafted instruments
- has exploded in popularity. (A recent video documenting the
$36,000 acoustic guitar she built currently has over 300,000
views and counting.)

Still in the early stages of her guitar career, she's already
expanded the audience for high-end acoustics with her fresh take
on content creation and some truly gorgeous instruments. It will
be fascinating to see what's next.

During our talk, we discuss her background, her decision to
become a luthier, her unique build videos (which she currently
films and edits entirely on her own...while simultaneously making
the guitars), where she finds inspiration, the guitar market
today, and so much more.
