In this podcast I have an amazing conversation with Frank Meyers about his fascination with vintage Japanese guitars and the resulting journey.
Frank’s accolades include:
Author, “The History of Japanese Electric Guitars”
Monthly columnist for Premier Guitar magazine, “Wizard of Odd”
Creator of the wonderful website, drowninginguitars.com with help from his friend Mike Dugan, and the @drowninginguitars YouTube channel
Part of his origin story is seeing Kurt Cobain in concert in 1989 playing a Mastumoku made Mosrite copy. Inspiration also includes Teengenerate and The Mummies among other bands.
Twenty-five years of curiosity eventually led to Frank getting on a plane for the first time in his life and traveling to Japan.
His noble mission, to honor the Japanese craftsmen and manufacturers and tell their story. And that’s exactly what he did.
Out of Frank’s passion, love and loyalty, he’s created a world-class treasure trove of information about an era of guitars that changed the trajectory of music.
It was an absolute pleasure and gift to have Frank on the show and this episode is sure to deepen your appreciation of some of the best guitar makers in the world.
I can’t say it enough, thank you so much Frank!
