David Back in Paris

While in Paris David also met with luthier Thomas Norwood. Thomas has lived and worked in Paris for 35 years now, and considers himself a French luthier, but he’s originally from Pasadena, CA, just down the road from us. He makes three models – one based on a 1910 Manuel Ramirez, one on a 1932 Esteso, and one on a 1935 Santos. David says that his guitars are beautifully made and have a real old-world sound. We’ll be receiving our first guitar from him this year or early next year.
