Michael Burton

Nine-year GAL member Michael Burton has been a guitarist since age thirteen, and got into guitar repairs about eleven years ago. He soon realized that playing the guitar was only part of the quest; learning what goes into a guitar’s construction and what makes it play well is the other half of the equation. He studied classical music and taught guitar at a music college in Newfoundland, Canada for a few years, then studied electronics engineering. He is always ready to talk your ear off about anything related to guitars, whether it is playing, music theory, or repair work.
