19: Meredith Coloma Doesn't Think That Building Guitars is a "Cool Job"

Meredith Coloma is a luthier and the Owner and Founder of Coloma Guitars located in Vancouver Canada.  She has been cranking out absolutely killer guitars for about ten years and some how agreed to come onto my dumb little show to talk about it!  Meredith talks about how a potential career as a vocalist was interrupted due to noxious wood dust.  She talks about learning luthiery from a Yiddish violin maker who didn't even speak the same language and how he encouraged her to pursue instrument making despite their language differences.  She talked about how she was so upset about how her first few instruments weren't turning out that great and so she asked and well known instrument builder for his honest critique, and her response to his feedback.

Meredith is truly a hero of mine, and I can't believe that she was able to come on the show.  I feel like there's so much more area to cover regarding both luthiery as well as her career, I hope we can have her back some day.  ENJOY!
