| 10/13/26 |  Adrian Bagale | How Northfield Went From Mandolins to Guitars | Today on Life With Strings Attached, I’m joined by Adrian Bagale of Northfield Mandolins and Guitars. Adrian’s path begins in Rochester, New York, surrounded by jazz and guitars, and moves through Elderly Instruments, instrument development in Asia, and eventually the founding of Northfield. We talk about what decades spent studying, building and playing instruments have taught him, why Northfield operates differently from most instrument companies, and how relationships between builders and ... | 2h 27m 05s | ||||||
| 10/2/26 |  Hozen | Why He Walked Away From 4000 Guitars a Month | Today on Life With Strings Attached, I'm joined by Hozen Yong, the founder of Hozen Guitars and a builder whose mission it has been to bring boutique-level responsiveness and craftsmanship to a wider range of players. His path started in Singapore, surrounded by his family's piano business. But rather than take over the family business, he chose his own path in guitars, teaching himself the craft through relentless curiosity, experimentation and listening to musicians. After building Maestr... | 1h 06m 51s | ||||||
| 9/25/26 |  What Ants, How to Train Your Dragon and a Teuffel Guitar Have in Common | Tim C. Johnson | Today on Life With Strings Attached, I sit down with filmmaker and storyteller Tim C. Johnson for a conversation about what guitars, animation and great stories have in common. From the creative worlds behind films like Ants, Over the Hedge and How to Train Your Dragon, to the radical beauty of instruments by builders like Ulrich Teufel and Eric Weigeshoff, Tim explores why the most meaningful art requires insightful observation before you can meaningfully challenge expectations. Together, Ti... | 2h 00m 55s | ||||||
| 9/18/26 |  Marcel Fehse | The All-Aluminum Guitar Nobody Asked For | Today on Life With Strings Attached, I'm joined by Marcel Fehse, a German guitar maker whose instruments challenge almost every assumption about how a guitar should be built. Drawing on a background in metalworking, he's developed a striking all-aluminum approach that's not just about changing materials. It's about rethinking the instrument from the inside out. We talk about craftsmanship, prototypes, finding the right balance of strength, weight and tone, and what it takes to keep moving fo... | 1h 13m 39s | ||||||
