▪ Rob Golderg is one of those Lutherie-Boom guys. As a teenager in the 1960s he fell in love with the first handmade guitar he ever saw, and made a couple guitars on his own without much help. In 1974 he became Bill Cumpiano’s very first apprentice. After a successful run as a guitar maker in the Northeast, he took a break from lutherie of almost thirty years when he moved to Alaska, started a family, and had a career in fine arts. But the lutherie bug bit again, and he’s been back at it for more than a quarter century. Mentions Ervin Somogyi, Sam Koontz, Michael Gurian.
