Podcast 186: Larry Pogreba

We talk to a lot of unique individuals on this podcast and
luthier Larry Pogreba is certainly no exception. Pogreba divides
his time between homes in New Mexico and an off-the-grid
homestead in Montana and builds resonator guitars, Weissenborns
and acoustics that often feature recycled / reclaimed metal,
bullet casings for inlays and all sorts of other adornments that
harken to American steel and the Wild West. His instruments have
landed in the hands of Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt, David
Lindley, Cindy Cashdollar and others. In fact, one of the most
prolific Pogreba instrument collectors around is the acclaimed
Darrell Scott, who is featured in the new Fretboard Journal #41.
On today’s podcast, we talk to Larry about how the Danny
Ferrington book got him turned onto guitarmaking, how he splits
his time between two homes/workshops, his unique guitar (and
cannon!) builds and much more.
