“It’s the Ultimate Bling Guitar”

You might not know his name, but you know Jim DeCola's work. The longtime luthier and influential industry staple sits down with John Bohlinger to discuss his repairman beginings (including an impactful fix for Randy Rhoads), to designing the Peavey EVH Wolfgang for Eddie Van Halen, and his lengthy career that includes both guitar giants -- Fender and Gibson. Plus, DeCola shares how his first love of skateboarding is a parallel to guitar building and explains why dropping into half pipes and empty pools fill his heart as much as working on guitars and play music.
