Daisy has to be one of the most “together” young women I’ve seen in a very long time. Every word out of her mouth was a well spoken and thought out gem. To accomplish what she has in such a short period of time and to be so well versed in so many aspects of the business world and be able to apply that knowledge to her own business is exemplary. I’m blown away by what a truly impressive young entrepreneur she is. Great interview as well Jason. I could tell you were as enamored with her total personality as I was. She’s a knockout.
I watch Daisy’s videos and love her work. She’s a real artist, very interesting and a determined, inspiring person. She deserves more viewing and more exposure. She tells a compelling story and entertains as well as teaching.
This is how a definition of success looks like, a determined person who does what she loves, does it well, and is not afraid of doing other things she is good at. She is a true inspiration.
Great Interview! I've been watching Daisy since Andertons interview. I appreciate her honesty and happy spirit. Keep on building guitars Daisy! I know most of us could never afford your guitars.......we can enjoy watching an artist building a guitar. A $2500 guitar seems like a dream to me.
I love her channel and I just assumed that Daisy was a guitar builder in the tranditonal sense, but that's not the full picture. Regardless, she is a creative talent, very intelligent and honest. She might surprise herself one day and realise she can build a guitar every bit as great as any of the celebrated luthiers.
Hi. I have been an FJ subscriber since journal 28 and also a subscriber to Daisy's channel. I really didn't have the time to watch this whole podcast this morning, but it was so interesting and compelling I just could not help myself. Very real and fun. Thanks.
Daisy, I hope you never loose your passion! Also as a businessman I suggest as an exercise one time meticulously record the hours and assign an hourly wage of $150 per hour. Also record the materials cost with a 25% markup and total it up against your $36K guitar. You’ll be shocked!
I Absolutely LOVE Daisy!!! Her guitars are Phenomenally Magnificent! I love listening to her talk, I could listen to her ALL DAY! Her videos are Awesome and Educational. AND... It goes without saying, Daisy is Absolutely Beautiful! Thank You for interviewing her!!
Following the path pioneered by the likes of Linda Manzer, Joshia de Jonge, Shelley Park etc. I hope Ms Tempest is wildly successful in her pursuit of crafting immaculate instruments.
As a builder with almost 100 instruments under my belt I found this fascinating. 98% of the interview was not about guitars at all but the power of looks, personality, quality video production, and social media. She obviously is a natural in those arenas with compelling candor and honesty. At the end of the interview however we still don’t know a thing about her instruments other than some wood choices. I’d love to see a test drive of one by the Fretboard Journal crew. Lutherie is a bottomless pit of knowledge, the longer you build the more you realize you don’t know. I hope she matures into a great builder and another role model for women in lutherie. I’d love to see another interview when she hits 50 builds. Most of the knowledge I acquired that resulted in progressive tweaks to make my work better came from seeing them back a year or more after birth and from getting them in the hands of professional players for honest critique.
Sadly, she makes really beautiful instruments, but they aren't for people like me. Some handmade guitars I could save to purchase, but hers are permanently out of reach.
So this is not a hater comment. I love guitars and own several and I am NOT a builder. I recognize that they are musical instruments and work of arts. However, aside from seeing a beautiful young woman, who is socially media saavy and who is an excellent business person i still do not know how these instruments SOUND. The appeal of her story for now is that she is a great storyteller. This whole interview is about the unuqueness of her story and how she came about guitar building. That in it of itself is refreshing. Her guitars command $36,000 she must be doing something right.
And the cult of personality marches on,the good folks that keep this world from falling apart are not spending 36k on a not particularly ornate acoustic guitar,any decent woodworker can pretty quickly acquire and hone the skills to build a guitar.What you are also quite good at is the manipulation and use of the english language.Daisy you are charming and quite lovely,and your quest for purity in your craft is well intended on one hand but your also a bit of an elitist,and all the word play in the world doesn't change that.If you spent more than 200 billable hrs.on the 36k guitar,it means your making choices regarding technique/methodology that don't necessarily result in a better quality instrument,But it's about the journey and I have a feeling your gonna shine bright following your chosen path.
Not sure why someone would pay $36,000 for a guitar made by someone who only has seven models under their belt. Don't want to be a hater but I'm confused by this interview.
She touches on it a bit here but these aren't really musicians buying her instruments, they're people of exceptional means much the same as her aristocratic upbringing. The 'dealer' she mentions is not a guitar shop or the like, it's The Robb Report - a luxury lifestyle magazine with a readership of people with money to throw away. She's honest in that she won't attend guitar shows because she doesn't make an instrument worthy of that but she furthers that with the fact that she's not pursuing the clientele that attend those shows - she'd likely never sell an instrument with their mentality of the mass outlook on builder pricing structures and whatnot. She actually hopes she can help change that. Bravo to her. She's a business woman, a very smart one and it is hard to blame her for taking the paycheck if someone is willing to write it.
@@vantasnermeridian8674 Yeah, if someone will pay for it then more power to her. I found the whole interview sort of bizarre because I couldn't fathom a reason why someone would essentially spend more than what 3 D-45s would cost for one guitar that's going to lose value like a used car that even the person making it is admitting isn't up to the quality of what Martin mass produces. But, again, if she can find people to buy them, good for her. I didn't realize it was the Robb Report that was bankrolling her. That makes a lot of sense, now, and puts all of this in perspective. Thanks for the information!
I guess I find the whole world of "bespoke" guitars a bit bizarre because even the master luthiers have trouble making guitars that will hold their value or even be demonstrably superior to a well-built Martin. There isn't a tradition of handmade guitars and I think that's for the good -- a high quality guitar is within the reach of actual musicians (yes, I realize Martins can be expensive but they've also got a lot of very good guitars that are pretty affordable). I do understand the desire to create a handmade instrument and the ones who do it well are real craftspeople. But it's a weird business because by necessity they're dealing with a customer base of non-musicians so in the end, I wonder what the point of it all is.
Daisy has to be one of the most “together” young women I’ve seen in a very long time. Every word out of her mouth was a well spoken and thought out gem.

"I want to give this guy the best guitar I've ever built."
That's the spirit, Daisy. Never let that fade.
I watch Daisy’s videos and love her work. She’s a real artist, very interesting and a determined, inspiring person. She deserves more viewing and more exposure. She tells a compelling story and entertains as well as teaching.
Yes should receive an academy award for meticulous video presentation, a gold guitar or a big statue or something.
This is how a definition of success looks like, a determined person who does what she loves, does it well, and is not afraid of doing other things she is good at.
She is a true inspiration.
Daisy is a very aware, erudite, and compassionate person!
Great Interview! I've been watching Daisy since Andertons interview. I appreciate her honesty and happy spirit. Keep on building guitars Daisy! I know most of us could never afford your guitars.......we can enjoy watching an artist building a guitar. A $2500 guitar seems like a dream to me.
Thank you. Great interview. Have been following Daisy for. a couple of months now, and she is inspirational.

She might surprise herself one day and realise she can build a guitar every bit as great as any of the celebrated luthiers.
Excellent interview. I did not know Daisy's backstory. Very cool how she positions herself in her field.
Fantastic talk and insight to a great creative force.

Stunning! Give me faith!

@@G-Man1115 have you played many high end guitars or one of hers?
You are incredible! Love you! Be strong!
Following the path pioneered by the likes of Linda Manzer, Joshia de Jonge, Shelley Park etc. I hope Ms Tempest is wildly successful in her pursuit of crafting immaculate instruments.
Just wondering as to why there is no demo videos of her guitars.
She made a video earlier this year called "Sound Comparison: My Latest Guitar Builds" that is basically a demo video.
@ thanks. I’ll look it up
Love Fretboard Journal….A quality effort….
We will all be gong😊
It’s never been easy! You are a craftsman artist be what you are!nick drake

and outsider view as the interviewer stressed … rather than professionals talking to themselves
wow.
In time we will find out Daisy is an angel sent from Heaven to bless Humanity with Heavenly guitars. When her guitars are played angel choirs sing!
Hmm,,,scatty?
Seems to have some of the important visual attractions for video graphic success.
Yes very skillful.
Great interview. You read her well. She is an amazing human being. Well done to you both. 👍
Good for y’all ! Me. I’m forgen as an artist musician luthier .peace be with you!
My good friend. Fred Carlson!

Perfect for the person who can't play a lick but needs something to put next to their Hunter painting. 😂
Interesting! I at one time was a professional cartoonist!

Homeless hit s teams gangs , I’m still here ! They are
Gone!
Seems like It was all a set up, cinematography is premium.
The gushing endless sweet syrupy accolades, Gee-wiz.
A very difficult experience as an artist luthier and very important to see

Fred Carlson!
She's not making guitars. She's marketing art and charging art gallery prices. Good for her. Bravo.
Not a huge fan of the luxury guitar thing and the "storytelling". She is very talented and will go far non the less.
Not sure why someone would pay $36,000 for a guitar made by someone who only has seven models under their belt. Don't want to be a hater but I'm confused by this interview.
The significant words are “ under her own name”!
She touches on it a bit here but these aren't really musicians buying her instruments, they're people of exceptional means much the same as her aristocratic upbringing. The 'dealer' she mentions is not a guitar shop or the like, it's The Robb Report - a luxury lifestyle magazine with a readership of people with money to throw away.

She's a business woman, a very smart one and it is hard to blame her for taking the paycheck if someone is willing to write it.
How many!! 7??

This old luthier finds the cult of celebrity going on here rather nauseating.
What a gorgeouse yong lady...........
Our US President, Donald Trump, is selling guitars. The guitars have three control knobs, Volume, Tone, and Hate.
A fool and his/her money are easily parted 😂
$30k for a guitar😂😂😂😂😂😂
The only thing worse than watching a Daisy Tempest video is watching a video abot Daisy Tempest . Seriously 36k for a guitar ?
