About

In this episode, I learn about the art and craft of custom guitar building from one of India's foremost luthiers. We talk about everything from what goes into building a great guitar - technically, sonically and philosophically - to the rise in popularity of custom guitars in India and abroad.  About Karan Singh: Under the brand name BigFoot guitars, he hand crafts bespoke guitars which are considered among the best around the world, and have been used by musicians like 2-time Grammy winner Amrit Sond, and Bob Weir- founding member of The Grateful Dead. Having apprenticed under world renowned luthier Jason Kostal, this former HR professional now builds top-notch guitars out of locally sourced woods from his workshop in Goa. You should listen if:1. You're a guitarist and you've considered getting a custom guitar for yourself2. You've wondered what goes into building quality guitars with great tone 3.  You'd like to know what it's like being a luthier building out of India
