Cool. 😃

What an unbelievably talented man, so unassuming and down to earth, his guitar sounds amazing, brilliant.

I am a guitar player and Boston Red Sox fan and I'm thinking Mr. Henderson maybe a Salem Red Sox fan?

Very cool interview with a true craftsman who learned the old fashioned way, through years of experience and continuous learning and improvement. Great attitude and desire to do great work is always going to produce a skilled professional. And local walnut is a great tonewood, as well and nice maple.

Can't believe i spent a whole 33 mins listening to his story. Thanks for posting ❤ ✌️

Admired Wayne’s work for years. The Cody sisters here in Colorado, have “ sister guitars. Same tree I heard. The can really play! Thanks Mr Henderson!

I have had the pleasure of talking a bit with Wayne quite a few times, and we always had fun. I am also a Luthier here in Virginia, about an hour or so from Wayne's place, but have not talked to him in years. I really need to visit him soon. He is a national treasure, and as friendly and humble as one person can be. My guitars will never be as good as a Henderson, but I will keep trying to reach anywhere close to his level of the art.

Great story, what a great guy, I'd love to visit this place if I go to the USA again.

That thing sounds amazing!

Thanks . I did watch until the end and saw the mention of the book

Wayne made me a killer mandolin in 1978!

What’s the name of the book?

true craftsman.

Love this segment. Thank you for sharing.

Wow! You do beautiful work Mr. Henderson! You are an American treasure.

Gosh this is the coolest thing I’ve seen on CZcams. Thank you for posting this interview. What a treasure Wayne is. Excellent questions.

Rather make a guitar for a kid who doesn't have one than for Eric Clapton. Welcome to the America we grew up in.

Awesome interview 👏 too bad interviewers overly everything

When you look at this man you may not realize that you are looking at an American treasure. I know I will never own one of his works but it is a privilege to see a Stradivarius level artist in our time. Great video. Thanks for sharing. Something in the water in that part of the country. So many great builders but Mr. Henderson is the peak of guitar builders on those Appalachian Mountains.

Surviving the postal service is his greatest accomplishment. I made 32 years and retired first day I could! All the bad things you heard about it is true

How do you. Talk. To. Wayne?

Love the hat. What a pleasant interview.

This was very nice..good job.

Nice place , but not really authentic enough , for its theme.

What a great person Wayne is. Not only can he build guitars he can make the best omelette you ever eat I won two of his guitars I wouldn’t take one million for either he is just special to me

How interesting this story about Mr. Henderson is however, I played guitar for 50 years and honestly never heard of him until watching this video today. I used to be able to play eletric, steel strings and, now I mostly play my 2 favorite classical guitars because the treble strings are plastic. This is easier on my finger tips now that I hit the big 62, the necks are wider but, my hands are big enough so, I still play them daily. I can remember first learning how to Travis picking over 30 years ago, my playing took off like a rocket. I play guitar, fiddle, mandolin and, keyboards some as well. I thank you for sharing this video about Mr. Henderson, it's been an absolute treat learning about this fine guitar maker and, fine guitar player!

😱😱😱😱😱😱😱that’s the sound that’s a dream 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱

I am not an acoustic player, nor am I any good at making small talk with folks I don't know, but it would surely be amazing to meet and talk with Wayne. He really impressed me. Thanks for looking him up and doing this interview.

Wayne’s accent freaked out your auto subtitle generator at :40. You might want to edit that out.

What a wonderful story, thank you for sharing this. I did purchase the book . Will try and make the festival. Peace Jerry

His daughter paid off student loans by a building a guitar

What a great life to have to be able to be making guitars.

Great interview😉

I've read "Clapton's Guitar" but it's a treat to just hear what a down-to-earth, humble guy Wayne is. It's nice to know there are people with talent who stay grounded in this age where there are many with not so much talent who think so much of themselves.

What a wonderful story. Thank you.

Read the book Clapton’s Guitar years ago. Wish they were not so out of reach for the many but great book.

I had the privilege of meeting and speaking with Wayne at Merlefest. Such a nice unassuming guy who was happy with some conversating! He and his daughter gave a presentation about building that was amazing. Big fan, a true character and gentleman!

Enjoyed this video! The neck on the guitar is so pretty!🤩I wonder if he's a distant relative of mine!😂😂❤

Was around that fellah growing up, had no clue I was in the midst of a living legend. He’s an absolute gentleman and treated me like royalty (10 year old boy who could hardly play).

I’d never be able to afford one of his guitars, but they sure do sound and look awesome!

I met and played and did a workshop with him at Don and Susie’s house in Vancouver Washington in the 1990s. He was a very gracious person.

Beautiful

This was amazing! I really enjoyed it, and thank you SO much for doing this. Thanks to Mr. Wayne Henderson for being so gracious to have this interview! Such a wonderful man! God Bless you all !!!

For those of you who are just now discovering the legendary Mr. Henderson & his ultra-fine acoustic guitars, I invite you to google up "Dream Guitars".......a guitar shop that only deals in the best, rarest, & most expensive guitars on the planet, to see several of Mr. Henderson's outstanding custom dreadnought's fashioned after the pre-war era Martin D-45's, yet made even better. Prepare to be astonished, both in the sheer beauty & detail......as well as the prices his guitars are worth, and the Henderson guitars for sale on their website weren't even owned by any famous musicians. If any of them were, they would cost even more.

Great video! Gotta love Wayne!

I've never heard if this fella... I ran across this video looking around for guitar building videos.. Wayne lives about 2.5 hours from where I'm at in Virginia.. Wish there were more bass builders around.

Wow, what a great human, I'd rather a guitar from this man than any other maker 🎸👍😊

I know this man since 2009 , he is a genuine good man. Kind , sharing ,talented, and friendly . That man is my friend , and I am proud to know him .
