Episode Synopsis

This week on Life With Strings Attached, I sit down with Avi Shabbat. From growing up in Jerusalem, discovering music in the middle of the grunge era and serving in the military, to building a career in sound engineering and eventually founding Shabbat guitars in Los Angeles. Avi's story is one of resilience, collaboration, and vision. In this conversation, we talk about uncompromising craftsmanship, the Frankenstein spirit of blending influences, and what it takes to turn passion into a thriving guitar company. I thoroughly enjoyed my conversation with Avi Shabbat. I hope that you do as much as I did. Find Avi's work here: https://shabatguitars.com/https://www.instagram.com/shabatguitars/https://www.facebook.com/shabatguitars/https://www.youtube.com/@shabatguitarsWatch the video version on YouTube:🔗 YouTube Channel – Life With Strings Attached Learn more about Life With Strings Attached and Boutique Guitar Showcase:🔗 Boutique Guitar Showcase Support the deeper conversations:🔗 The Business of Guitar – Patreon Thank you for listening and supporting the ongoing conversation between music, makers, history and the future.
