EP 23 - Putting Filipino Guitars On The Map with Jon Dela Cruz

If you've seen Jon's guitars, you would know it's his . Something that isn't easily accomplished in the competitive world of custom guitar crafting .
For someone who started off as an architect, he's definitely come a long way . This gentleman's story is one of those 'started-from-the-bottom' kind, but he's got enough interviews with those questions already .
For this podcast, he specifically asked me not to ask him how he started - There's been way too many publications asking the same, tiring questions . So I had no idea how this podcast was going to turn out, but you'll be surprised at how awesome it turned out . Hope you enjoy it !

Yung ngiti ng customer hanggang likod… iyan ang motto namin sa Apo tuwing nag perform kami onstage!
Nakakatuwang marinig sa kapwang “artist” tulad mo Jon.
I hope to bring my guitars to you one of these days. More power pare!

[@paolo2hot4u]

ganda nung last part na sinabi ni kuya jon, nakakatuwa sya na willing to help and teach people to learn building guitars..what a great man

[@04david05]

Pano mo ini-iwasan ang humidity at sobrang init na makakasira sa mga acoustic guitar halimbawa sa shop mo. Alam ko kasi na dapat sa temperature ay 65 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit at 45 % to 65% humidity . Paano ba ang solution nito ng mga guitarists diyan. Lalo na kung Hindi maka afford ng aircon masisira ang mga guitara nila di ba?

[@kenlouiepilos7372]

yung nag interview ky boss jon parang vocalist ng lorna shore...

[@jeffreytresmonte5334]
