He will share stories of guitars he has built for musicians such as Joe Walsh, Andy Summers, Steve Miller, Will Ackerman and more! The evening includes a live performance featuring Kauffman-built instruments from the Guitar Museum of New England’s core collection, offering a rare opportunity to hear their depth, nuance, and expressive range.Ideal for musicians, students, collectors, luthiers, and anyone with an appreciation for fine craftsmanship and live music.
