Today’s guest is Raymond Kraut, an exceptional luthier whose work blurs the lines between science, art, and soul. In this conversation, Raymond and I delve into the evolving craft of guitar making, exploring the physics of sound and the role of alternative tonewoods, such as desert ironwood, as well as the emotional and instinctual layers of artistic expression.

This isn't just a story about guitars, it’s about listening closely: to the wood, to the music, and to yourself.

Enjoy.
