João Cassias manufactures electric, acoustic and archtop guitars in his three-person shop in São Paulo, Brazil. In episode 62 of the podcast, João tells us how he got the violin making fever and his early guitar studies in São Paulo. He also tells how, with the support of his family, he was able to come to the United States to attend Galloup School and spend time in the shops of Ervin Somogyi and Tom Ribbecke. João shares stories and lessons from all of these experiences and tells us why the archtop guitar is his favorite.
