Podcast 145: Ben Harper

Published: April 26, 2017, 10:44 p.m.

Today we\u2019re talking to the one-and-only Ben Harper. Ben tells us about a\xa0very special\xa0guitar he just received from luthier John Monteleone. It's the first lap steel guitar that Monteleone has ever made, a guitar that John has dubbed\xa0a Radio City Special Deluxe (see pictures and video at fretboardjournal.com).\xa0

In addition to talking about the origin of his Monteleone guitar, we talk to Ben about his new Reverb store, some recent\xa0recording projects (including a session\xa0with jazz player Bruce Bishop) and a lot more.
