Podcast 134: Luthier Maegen Wells

On this week’s podcast, we talk to luthier Maegen Wells. After
years of working alongside famed archtop guitar and bass builder
Tom Ribbecke, Maegen is now building her own guitar and
mandolin creations out of her Forestville, California workshop.
  


Wells has devoted nearly her entire adult life to learning
the craft of lutherie and woodworking. Straight out
of high school, she enrolled in Bryan Galloup’s Galloup
School of Guitar Building and Professional Guitar
Repair. She then went on to work at the Reverend
Guitars warehouse and served as an apprentice to both Andrew
White and Ribbecke.
