Our Podcast F.A.Q.s

What is the "From The Luthier Bench" podcast?

The "From The Luthier Bench" podcast is a weekly Q&A discussion with the Master Builders of our generation.  Each week we conduct a long-form interview with Luthiers of hand-crafted guitars, both acoustic & electric.  The podcast show is hosted by Chayton Alo - the Founder of The Luthier Bench - the Online Marketplace & Knowledge Base for luthier-built guitars.

What Is the Podcast Format & How Are Luthiers Selected?

Our podcast is conducted as a long-form Q&A Interview and Discussion.   The average total podcast runtime is approximately 50 minutes.  The selection process for Luthier podcast guests is 100% consistent with the approval process for Luthier Storefronts.   We are looking to record discussions with the Master Builders who have established a pristine workshop and build reputation over the decades.

Who Is Chayton Alo - Host Of "From The Luthier Bench" ?

Chayton Alo is the Founder of The Luthier Bench and is the sole owner and developer of the multi-luthier, e-commerce platform for high-end, hand-crafted guitars.  Mr. Alo has been a guitar performer and teacher for decades and is enrolled to attend The Roberto-Venn School Of Luthiery in January 2025.  You can learn more about Chayton Alo on our FOUNDER PAGE.
What Is The Luthier Bench - The Sponsor Of This Podcast Show?
The Luthier Bench is the Online Marketplace and Knowledge Base for luthier-built guitars.  Approved Builders construct a Luthier Storefront on our platform and can list their guitar builds for both Collectors and Buyers.   The Luthier Bench also designs unique Build Request landing pages for Luthiers on our platform to connect Buyers looking for custom builds.  In addition, the platform hosts a massive, high-definition video library of the greatest Builders of the last decades.

Can You Contact The Guest Luthiers With Questions & Feedback?

Our podcast team will facilitate any communication or inquiries that you would like to transmit to any of our Luthier podcast guests.  We cannot disclose any contact information that is not publicly available and of course Builder time is extremely valuable.   Please scroll down & fill out the message form - we will make sure that your message reaches the Luthier.
