On this episode of TNAG's Talking Guitar, we chat with French-born luthier Loïc Bortot about his journey into guitar making in Quebec City. He shares his sources of inspiration, from fellow modern luthiers like Michael Bashkin to Matsuda, and how listening to players like Don Ross, Dustin Furlow, and Tommy Emmanuel drove him towards crafting fingerstyle-centric instruments.

Featured performers include Stuart Ryan, Bill Cooley, Lindsay Straw, and Carl Miner.
