## Resource

On Episode 104 of the podcast, I talk with Michael Sankey, a wildly creative guitar maker from Ottawa. Michael's work combines old-school methods like hand tools and hide glue with futuristic elements like 3D-printed metal parts. We get into how he balances tradition with innovation—and why he builds guitars based on his own ideas, not just what the market expects. https://www.sankeyguitars.com/ Luthier on Luthier is hosted by Michael Bashkin of Bashkin Guitars and brought to you by the Fretboard Journal . This episode is sponsored by Dream Guitars and StewMac . Want to support Luthier on Luthier? Join our Patreon to get access to exclusive photos and content from Michael and his builds.
