Manage episode 416342017 series 2467876
On Saturday Mornings, host Glenn van Zutphen sits down with Jens Ritter, a self-taught Master Luthier, whose handcrafted electric guitars and bass guitars have been collected by museums and icons alike: hand-crafting instruments for the likes of Lady Gaga, George Benson, Prince, Mary J. Blige, Phil Lesh, Josh Duhamel, Doug Wimbish, and many others. His works of art are in The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Smithsonian Institution.
This thoughtful, intuitive German craftsman explains why his creations are so special to each client and why they're worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.
He was recently in Singapore at the 1880 Club, where his exhibition "Sleeping Beauties" is on display.
