The Godfather of Vintage Guitars. 

 

George Gruhn knows more about Guitars than anyone on Earth. And his clientele, the who’s who of rock and country music, speaks to one of the unsung forces behind the music industry.

 

Gruhn began his career as a zoologist before turning his scientific eye to the authoritative organization of the Vintage Guitar market. George’s first sale to Hank Williams, Jr. fifty years ago kicked off a career that is now maintained in a four story edifice, stacked with thousands of guitars- a top destination for music lovers worldwide. This film showcases the guitar community, highlighting the artisans preserving the fine fretted instruments to live again in the hands of musical performers. Designed to captivate both the technical aficionado and the general lover of music history, Gruhn Guitars bridges the gap between "gear talk" and the cultural impact of these "holy grail" instruments, effectively immortalizing the legacy of George Gruhn for future generations of musicians through his extensive history and eloquent storytelling.
