2006 Newport Guitar Festival: Running Dog Guitars
August 10th, 2006
Rick Davis of Running Dog Guitars was in Newport along with Tim Brookes, the author of Guitar: An American Life. The book uses the instrument Brookes custom ordered from Davis as a frame for the history of the guitar in America. That’s the guitar mentioned in the book in the second photo with the oval soundhole. The second guitar boasts a soundhole rosette made of maple and malachite. Davis said that he likes using stone as an inlay material so he can describe the instrument as a “rock guitar.”-MJS
