For the last two years of this podcast, we\'ve shared the stories of several musicians who have made the most of their COVID lockdown: Daniel Romano\'s wildly prolific recording streak; Mason Stoops\' pivot to the visual arts; and Tristan Scroggins doing his best to tame the often-maligned tenor banjo. Today, we meet\\xa0Duncan Price,\\xa0a tireless guitar\\xa0experimenter. Price lives on the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, where he does setup and repair work for a mom-and-pop guitar store called Good Times Music. But during his off-hours, he\'s crafting some truly unique electric guitar experiments that blend single-string pickups, fretless necks, under-pickguard piezo pickups and more. Despite not having anything to sell or even a brand name, his Instagram posts have captured the attention of musicians-in-the-know on Instagram, who geek out on his posts, his music, and his latest tinkerings. One of those followers happens\\xa0to\\xa0be guitarist/producer Blake Mills, who\\xa0ended up reaching out to Price and is now playing one of his early prototypes (and making some truly gorgeous music on it).\\xa0

On today\'s podcast, we hear about Price\'s background, the influence El Rayo-X\'s Bernie Larson had on him starting out, the quest he\'s on to make a great fretless-necked, infinite sustain guitar and more. Price also has been inspired by our Truth About Vintage Amps Podcast and talks about some of his recent amplifier\\xa0builds, as well.\\xa0This interview may be the first time you\'ve heard about Price and his guitar creations, but it definitely won\'t be the last. I hope you enjoy getting to know him.\\xa0
