"can you play the mandolin?"
"I can play a little bit"-WH
Shreds the mandolin.

I never believe people who say they are really good, and never believe people who say they are no good. In science it is called the Dunning-Kruger effect. The more you know, the less you THINK you know. The less you know, the more you think you know.

[@noahrutter2588]

One of the nicest people I have ever met.

[@thewoodshop69]

Wayne is truly a legend spilling over with talent

[@WoodAndShop]

+The “Woody” Woodshop Yup, he certainly is!

[@JohnnyRebKy]

It’s the man himself that makes the guitars so special. In all honestly they don’t sound much different than a Martin I can get but the fact Henderson guitars are made by Wayne makes them so cool! Just a humble southern good ole boy who whittles out guitars with a pocket knife. It doesn’t get any better than that 😎👍🏻.

As part of an Airstream RV unit, I’ve been fortunate enough to have been to Wayne’s home, museum and shop (twice) during the Galax Music Festival. Fascinating guy for sure. #downtoearth

[@tubetone74]

Yeah, I can play a little bit" then he commences to rip it!!! So modest, so talented. Kudos Wayne.

First time I ever saw someone thumb and finger pick a mandolin. Wow.

[@mikebastiat]

I love that full fretboard inlay.

[@thomashverring9484]

My first guitar I made in school and it was a can with a board and real strings. It didn't sound amazing. I've yet to build my second guitar :^) Wayne's guitars are a whole lot better!

He told the most hilarious semi-dirty, yet clean, joke I've ever heard when I saw him in Richmond one time.

[@renatowesurf]

Just a heads up , it would appear it was Wayne’s take on ‘wheels’ by Cher Atkins 👍
