John WeissenriederJohn Weissenrieder was a classically trained luthier. His formal studies began in the workshop of the great guitar maker, Andrea Tacchi, in Florence, Italy. During his apprenticeship, he studied intensively the works of Enrique Garcia, Francesco Simpicio, and Robert Bouchet, traveling to Spain and France with the scope of investigating more deeply the works of past masters.
