Podcast 422: Sully Guitars

We first spoke to electric guitarmaker Jon "Sully" Sullivan on
the podcast back in 2018 (episode 204). This week marks Sully's
long-awaited return back onto the podcast. We talk about his '71
Trella model; how he's incorporated technology like CNCs into his
builds; the economics (and realities) behind creating your own
import line of guitars (his Korean-made Conspiracy series is
currently taking reservations); why he's taken a break from
teaching guitar-making; and so much more.


Plus: the je ne sais quoi of French words; the genius of Duncan
Price (@diskobebe), the NAMM Boutique Guitar Showcase, trademark
talk, and more!
