What makes a great guitar ? Is it a brand , a style , a look , a sound , a feel ? My answer ? I would say it starts with a craftsman , a visionary , a brilliant luthier . For me , knowing the brilliant luthier behind Gopher Wood personally is a special thing . I call him Mr . Lee as I cannot pronounce his first name . Gopher Wood was named after the wood that Noah was instructed by God to use on the ark .
When you hear of guitars being built in Korea or China , there is a certain connotation or dare I say , lack of expectation … however when the luthier is actually from South Korea , I see it differently . It ’ s not the same as a sub-brand that is farmed out to another country .
