Building an acoustic guitar can be fun and artistic while making the best out of wood in the realm of music. The founder of Santa Cruz Guitar Company, Richard Hoover shares his passion for wood and the cultural significance of the custom lutherie beyond the sounding performance. He presents a nuanced account of the musical instruments that contribute to the understanding and respect of the resources of wood through environmentally responsible practices.
