Watch Master Luthier Build Clapton's Guitar!

Want a great read about building a guitar?

Clapton’s Guitar by award-winning journalist Allen St. John tells about St. John meeting master luthier Wayne Henderson—who was supposed to make a guitar for Eric Clapton for ten years. We’re talking long waiting list here.

St. John finds Henderson in his Virginia home, learns Brazilian rosewood is the very best for building a top-notch guitar and listens to the old man play music.

When Henderson finally gets around to building a guitar for Clapton, St. John chronicles every step, from choosing the specific piece of wood (was it Brazilian rosewood?) to finishing two guitars! Want to see?
