Randy Parsons | Building Guitars for Jack White, Jimmy Page & More | Life With Strings Attached | EP. 25

Randy Parsons shares some incredible stories on this week’s episode of Life With Strings Attached, including working with Jack White, using a cattle skull for the bracing of a guitar he made for Jimmy Page, how he came up with the 50,000-piece Red Queen in a single moment of spontaneity, how he moved his workshop from a former Hell Angels hideout to a century-old church in rural Kansas – and lots more. Whether you’re interested in guitar making or not, this is well worth a listen to hear from someone who has led a fascinating life and – through sometimes bizarre and scarcely believable moments – built an amazing career as a guitar maker. Speaking with Randy provides so many insights on the nature of risk, the value of self-belief, the magic of hard work, and the strange force of serendipity. I’m always thankful to get a chance to catch up with Randy, and I hope you’ll all enjoy listening
