Tag: Kent Everett

I remember clearly the first time I cradled an Everett guitar in my hands. When I strummed the strings, I was instantly seduced by the sweetness of the sound. I owned a vintage Gibson acoustic and I’d played a Martin. But they didn’t play like this. Those were made by man with machine; an Everett was all handmade.

Kent Everett’s handcrafted guitars are among the most praised and sought-atter musical instruments in the country. But he only makes 20 a year. “I’m not a factory, I’m an artist,” he says.
