About this episode
Today we're talking to the one-and-only Ben Harper. Ben tells us about a very special guitar he just received from luthier John Monteleone. It's the first lap steel guitar that Monteleone has ever made, a guitar that John has dubbed a Radio City Special Deluxe (see pictures and video at fretboardjournal.com). In addition to talking about the origin of his Monteleone guitar, we talk to Ben about his new Reverb store , some recent recording projects (including a session with jazz player Bruce Bishop) and a lot more.
