I sat down with master guitar maker Stephan Connor https://www.instagram.com/connorguitars at his workshop in Cape Cod, Massachusetts to have a conversation about his life as a luthier. Some of the most famous guitarists choose to play Connor guitars, and through this wonderful discussion, I hope you can see a glimpse of the creative person that is behind the nearly 500 instruments he's put into this world!
