Michael DeTemple

Jeff Floro's All About Guitar

I am honored to have Michael DeTemple on the show!! A consumate musician, Michael was a renowned session musician, playing guitar on Dave Mason's best selling album "Alone Together." He worked with such noted artists as Eric Clapton, Van Morrison, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Pete Townshend, Ron Wood, Randy California, Booker T., Paul Butterfield, Earl Slick and many, many more. Michael got into instrument building, repair and restoration, which led to him building his world famous DeTemple Guitars. DeTemple guitars are hard to get, they are each hand made, and there is a long waiting list of A-players wanting their hands on these incredible instruments. We talk to Michael, about how he got into making guitars and what makes a DeTemple guitar, as luthier Rick Turner refers to it, as "dream Strat style guitar everybody's chasing after!" detempleguitars.com
