Luthier Legend Dan Erlewine
Dan Erlewine just might be the most famous guitar repairperson on earth. His books are definitive reference works that have stood the test of time. His classic columns for Guitar Player and Bass Player magazines have helped introduce the vocabulary of guitar setup to the masses, and his instruments have found their way into the hands of icons such as Jerry Garcia, Albert King, and Otis Rush. But it’s Erlewine’s pioneering instructional content that have made the Athens, Ohio, resident a mentor to three generations of guitar maintenance and repair geeks.
Today, at nearly 80 years of age, Erlewine remains the most recognizable personality in the Lutherie industry. And, as a musician, this man's band opened for Cream, The Grateful Dead and his legend Michael Bloomfield.
