Podcast 160: Todd Cambio of Fraulini Guitars

Podcast 160: Todd Cambio of Fraulini Guitars

On this week's podcast, we talk to builder Todd Cambio of Fraulini Guitars. While a lot of guitarmakers focus on traditional Martin or Gibson-style instruments, Todd loves to focus on models built by more obscure vintage instrument brands, including Stella, Larson Bros., Lyon & Healy and Oscar Schmidt. During our talk, Todd talks to us about his start in lutherie and his love for early blues and 78 recordings. He then explains the research he did to recreate Lydia Mendoza's 12-string guitar and his new attempt to create a replica of Lonnie Johnson's 12-string guitar (both, it turns out, were originally built by San Antonio's Acosta family). Cambio is equal parts luthier and history detective… it's fascinating to hear how he cobbles together information and grainy photos to build some of these instruments. We hope you enjoy our talk.
