In this episode, I learn about the art and craft of custom guitar building from one of India's foremost luthiers. We talk about everything from what goes into building a great guitar - technically, sonically and philosophically - to the rise in popularity of custom guitars in India and abroad. 

About Karan Singh: Under the brand name BigFoot guitars, he hand crafts bespoke guitars which are considered among the best around the world, and have been used by musicians like 2-time Grammy winner Amrit Sond, and Bob Weir- founding member of The Grateful Dead.
