These days, Otto D\u2019Ambrosio is best known for his exquisite archtop guitars. But his guitar journey began long ago, when he stumbled into\xa0Mandolin Brothers as a 13 year old. He\xa0ended up working at Mandolin Brothers for Stan Jay, then for\xa0luthier legends Flip Scipio and John Monteleone. He did some time at the repair department of Guild\u2019s Westerly plant and, eventually\xa0set out on his own as a luthier\xa0and repairman.

On this week\u2019s podcast, D\u2019Ambrosio tell us about his background, describes the ongoing evolution of his archtop models and tells us about his ongoing collaboration with Eastman Guitars. After working for most of his life on the East Coast, Otto has now relocated to the West Coast to work out of Eastman\u2019s California headquarters.

It\u2019s an informative and fun chat with one of the fretted instrument world\u2019s best craftsmen.
