Gruhn's Vault

Gruhn's Vault

In 1970, George Gruhn opened Gruhn Guitars in Nashville, Tennessee. Since then, the Gruhn client list grew to include the likes of Eric Clapton, Lyle Lovett, Emmylou Harris, Rick Nielson, and many of the greatest performers of the last half century.

However, George is more than a vintage guitar expert, he is also a writer, businessman and a student of music history. This podcast series, produced in 2018 & 2019, features George chatting with some of the many friends he has made over the years.

This podcast series was produced and distributed through the facilities of WSM Radio; Nashville, Tennessee.
