On today’s Fretboard Journal podcast, we introduce you to a young luthier just starting out in his career, Asheville, North Carolina-based luthier Judson Riviere. Fresh out of high school, Judson enrolled in the guitar repair and building program at Minnesota State College Southeast (aka Red Wing). He then dove deep into guitar repairs for Steve Mason in Kansas and for the last two years apprenticed with acoustic guitar maker Jason Kostal in Arizona.
Judson is finally ready to build guitars under his name. We talk about the skills he learned on this journey, how Red Wing turned him into an acoustic guitar fanatic, what Jason Kostal’s apprenticeship looked like, his own guitars and much more.
