Earlier this year, in February, we had the privilege to welcome Glen Hansard to the shop.
He was recording with Charlie Hall in Conshohocken. During the process, this 1970 Barney Kessell came into possession, and it ended up here.
We learned Glen usually likes flatwound 12s. We decided on 11s since there was some work to be done on the guitar beyond the scope of a setup. But man…did this bad boy still project and play great.
We didn’t get any pictures with Glen, but we do have this.
What an unbelievably down to earth dude he was…it’s crazy to think that he crossed the threshold into the shop, even for a moment.
Thank you, Charlie, for the chance to meet such a legend, and to let us send a guitar off with him as well.
RIP Glen Hansard, legend 🎸💙🎸
