Bad screenshot, great segment. Thanks to FRET12 for having Dave on your CBS Chicago segment with Jackie Kostek. It was a pleasure to show off the Cuyler Model guitar and hear Dave Specter play on set.

We made a podcast because, well, we couldn't find the content we wanted - more info on the players who commission instruments and why. Episode 3 of Play for Keeps is now live and features Greg Ellis, multi-instrumentalist, owner of matching MachMachines ukuleles, occasional barber of Steve Albini, former Charlie Trotter chef, and now Dave's barber. Check out the full episode in the Listening Material link in bio.
