In this episode of Kentucky’s Wandering Realtor, I sit down with David “Dave” Swick, the craftsman behind Swicktone. A Chicago transplant with decades of hands-on experience, Dave has been repairing and modding guitars since the late ’90s and building handmade instruments for over a decade. We talk tone myths, what most players misunderstand about setups, how a great guitar should feel, and what it really takes to bring an instrument back to life, or build one with true personality.
