Season 2, Episode 7,   Apr 13, 2022, 03:30 PM

The second part of our interview with National Guitar Guru Mark Makin. In this final part, Mark tells us about how he got his hands on a prototype square neck and what that entails; gives us some more info on the process of putting his book together and anomalies in the National Factory; and how he, together with Allan Timmins and Don Young helped develop the Tri-Cone model for National Resophonic, 

Mark also talks us through a couple of his Holy Grail guitars and tells us the story of George Harrison spending an afternoon with him in his house in Nottingham!

‘I can’t possibly conceive I sat and drew 1150 guitars like that… I mean, it’s mental!’
