Flip Scipio’s interest in guitars goes in many directions. He builds a wide variety of guitars and other stringed instruments and performs repairs in his one-man shop in NYC.
For episode 58 of Luthier on Luthier, Flip reflects on his guitar career and his time studying guitar making in London and Spain with José Romanillos. We also hear of his time at Guild Guitars and Mandolin Brothers and working for high profile clients such as Paul Simon, Jackson Browne, David Lindley, Ry Cooder and Bruce Springsteen. Finally, Flip explains why he likes guitars that are “like a dog in a cat suit”.
