Description


This week, Derek and Joey take a deep dive into Joey’s newest Lumiere Tele-style guitar, handcrafted in Buenos Aires, Argentina. From its minimalist blackguard-inspired look to its incredibly resonant yellow pine body, this guitar has a vibe all its own — even if the headstock sparks some strong opinions.

Along the way, they chat about everything from slide playing to the horrors of Winnipeg humidity, boutique headstock design, and the dream of custom glitter Tolex. It's half gear nerdery, half therapy session, and all good times.

Whether you’re here for the tone talk, the hot takes on guitar design, or the La Croix pronunciation debate, this episode has something for every guitar-obsessed soul.

🎸 Guitars discussed: Lumiere, McMull, James Tyler, PRS, Casa Dosa
