In this Guitar Gavel podcast episode we are the recipient of an absolutely brilliant conversation with Adam Gray. Fortunately/unfortunately Adam had a hard stop or we would have talked for hours.
Acoustic guitar fans- this one's for you!
Whether or not Adam’s wife regrets giving him a budget friendly Yamaha or not… she helped rekindle his affliction for playing.
Not long after her gift Adam boldly pronounced this statement to a friend, “the thing is, actually with guitars, there’s not a lot of difference between a cheap one and a good one”.
So Adam’s friend loaned him a Taylor 910 and that set the stage for his quest to have ever better and more interesting guitars.
The rest of Adam’s story includes more about his guitar supporting wife, fate, and Adam’s tenacity to hunt down guitars that are successively better than the previous.
Through his investigative skills Adam managed to commission the first custom guitar from Tom Sands, an apprentice of Ervin Somogyi.
Adam is a terrific conversationalist and storyteller, add that to his extensive acoustic guitar knowledge and the result is something along the lines of “Inside the Actors Studio”.
Other guitars include:
Martin made OM-28 1931 replica
Stefan Sobell custom acoustic
Hahn T-Classic tele style guitar
And for fun an Andrea Castagneri violin from approximately 1717
