Podcast 404: Bruce Guitars' Micah Bruce

This week, Micah Bruce (Bruce Guitars) joins us to talk about
the 2023 Fretboard Summit guitar giveaway and so much more.
Bruce does a bit of everything: Electric builds, acoustics,
repair and restoration. Speaking to us from his new shop space
in Ohama, Nebraska, he recounts his early days in the guitar
industry when he landed a job at Collings in Austin, Texas. We
then talk about his time at Allison Guitars and Moniker and his
decision to set up his own shop and work for himself. It's a
candid look at the realities of the guitar industry and the
life of a solo, largely self-taught guitarmaker.
