Randy Parsons: American Luthier (2012)

'Randy Parsons: American Luthier' is a documentary short about a Seattle guitar-maker whose client list includes Jack White, Jimmy Page, Sammy Hagar, Peter Frampton, Joe Perry, and many other well known guitarists. The guitar had been Parsons' identity since he was a child, but after college he knew he would not make a living as a musician. So he gave it up; he didn't even own a guitar in his mid-twenties. And then one day, while taking a shower, he had vision that he was going to make guitars. Parsons is now a highly successful luthier, doing things his way to make instruments that are works of art.
