| 2/6/26 |  Experience Over Ownership: A Conversation on Collecting Guitars | Welcome to Life With Strings Attached, I’m your host, Jamie Gale. In this episode I’m sitting in the home of Lou Vergne for a very special collector-focused conversation, one that isn’t really about collecting at all. It’s about relationships; with instruments, with the people who make them, and with the experiences that give those objects meaning. We talk about discovery over acquisition, use over display, and why definition can sometimes feel like confinement. Lou shares what it means to ... | 1h 21m 32s | ||||||
