Interview with Luthier Kris Barnett

ByBradford Werner
2015

“Austin Classical Guitar interviews Kris Barnett in his guitar workshop in Atlanta, Georgia. He speaks about the makings of a guitar, and the work & passion put into it.” This come via the Austin Classical Guitar Society on YouTube. It’s a good interview since he’s in his shop and really shows us what he uses and how it all works. The most rewarding question is good I wonder what the worst thing about building is?! Any other luthiers want to weigh in?
