About this listen
Today, we sit down with one of the most celebrated living luthiers, John Monteleone, a maker whose instruments have graced museums, concert halls, and the hands of some of the world’s finest players.
From his Long Island workshop, John crafts guitars and mandolins that are as visually captivating as they are sonically alive. Instruments where Art Deco elegance meets timeless tone. His work expands the tonal palette of the guitar, inviting musicians to explore new colours, new expressions, and new possibilities.
In this conversation, we talk about his design philosophy, his love of materials, and the spirit of play that defines his craft. John reminds us that great instruments are built not only for today, but for generations to come.
This is John Monteleone. A master builder, storyteller, and keeper of the guitar’s enduring soul.
