Workshop of John Ray. Spanish guitarmaker Granada Spain.
Welcome to my workshop! It is located in the Realejo, one of the most traditional neighbourhoods of Granada, and close to the shops of Antonio Marin Montero, Paco Santiago Marin, Manuel Lopez Bellido and Rolf Eichinger. From the guitar makers in Granada I have learned the traditional spanish techniques, some of which are falling into disuse these days even in Spain. The sound of my guitars has opened up, acquiring a three-dimensional quality and they have become much more responsive instruments, able to meet the demands of any professional musician. At present I make a classical model, a flamenco model and a copy of Antonio de Lorca as well as Antonio de Torres.
Both my classical model as well as my flamenco guitar have developed through close study of great historical guitars. I have had the opportunity to study guitars made by Torres, Barbero, Lorca, Pages and Santos Hernandez. Any great maker must first learn from those who have gone before and then spend years defining a personal style and sound. I find myself in the second part of that journey and it is immensely satisfying especially when my ideas are shown to fit with the needs of great guitarists ...

Griffin String Instrument:
Griffin offers four basic body style models, each available with either of two standard wood options.
Born in 1952, Kim Griffin was surrounded by the beautiful instruments of classical violinist Virginia Farmer (neighbor/extended family member). He remembers the baby grand piano and priceless violins being played for hours; attending symphony and recitals as a very young lad. "This was my early connection with music," Kim explains.
Then, at about the age of 9, his parents bought Kim his first guitar (a Harmony flat top). "I made lots of noise with it, till one day I saved up enough money for a new Guild. Dad paid for lessons. My sister and I played in the local folk circuit, she with her D-18 and I would sometimes use dad's D-35." After that, barroom blues/rock, then into bluegrass with Marc Chevalier and a short stint with Frank Wakefield.
In 1975 he decided to do something constructive with information gained from the variety of musical styles he'd been exposed to. So he began repairing fiddles and guitars. In 1977 he attended The School of Guitar Research and Design in Vermont, taught by Charles Fox and George Morris. Continuing on from there he built individual commissioned instruments (some experimental), hammered dulcimers, banjos, mandolins as well as repairs ...

The home of Gibson electric guitars today is "Gibson USA," built in 1974 in Nashville specifically for the production of Gibson's Les Paul guitars. Although the entire guitar industry went through a slump in the late '70s, the spirit of innovation remained strong at Gibson. In response to a growing demand for vintage stylings, Gibson tapped its rich history and reissued the dot-neck version of the ES-335 in 1981 and the flametop sunburst Les Paul in 1982. At the same time, two legendary guitarists joined Gibson- B.B. King in 1980 with the Lucille model and Chet Atkins in 1982 with his new concept of a solidbody acoustic guitar.
Gibson world headquarters moved to Nashville in 1984 with the closing of the Kalamazoo plant. The financially troubled company was rescued in January 1986 by Henry Juszkiewicz and David Berryman, and the new owners quickly restored Gibson's reputation for quality as well as its profitability ...
