Update for Issue 9: Richard Thompson

March 25th, 2008

Here’s a great clip from 1984 of Richard Thompson, our Spring Issue cover boy, talking about his ‘55/57 Strat. Or, as the interviewer called it, a Frender Stratocaster. The clip was forwarded to us by Allen St. John, who wrote the Thompson story for us. St. John is the author of Clapton’s Guitar : Watching Wayne Henderson Build the Perfect Instrument a wonderful book about hanging out in the workshop of a master luthier and watching how he puts a guitar together.-MJS
