Kevin Kastning, an artist endorser of Santa Cruz Guitar Company, is one incredible musician and a fine fellow. His music is fresh, thought-provoking, and complex. On my first listen to a recording by Kevin and Hungarian guitarist Guitarist Sándor Szabó I thought they must be playing from a score, but I found later it is mostly improvised. They feed off each other! It's quite a treat!
The alto guitar in the photos below was custom built by SCGC for Kevin. I enjoyed working with Kevin and the folks at SCGC (great folks!) - discussing the project and helping to select the back and side wood (European maple) for the guitar.
