We filmed this in a hotel room in Kansas City while I was on tour. This interview was originally published almost two years ago when the channel was much smaller. I'm sharing it again today, so new subscribers might get a chance to see it. It's a great story and Chris is a wonderful guitar builder. You should definitely check out his guitars and tell him Otis sent you.

That was worth hearing again. Thanks, Otis.
Like this so hard. Thanks Otis.
Awesome story, Jimmy used that guitar to play "In My Time Of Dying" in the reunion show. Rad!
It's so cool that Jimmy kept calling them due to his love of the guitar and his appreciation. Nice!
But wait a minute.... Inspiring one of the greatest rock guitarists there has ever been with a guitar you built..... is no mean feat.... Congratulations!
Well said! I agree!
I hope Chris asked for a raise after that.. He had pretty good leverage..."If you don't give me a raise I'm calling Jimmy Page!"
What a wonderful story. You can really sense Chris's fulfillment for his dedicated craftmanship.
That’s no coincidence. You inspired the reunion. Now THAT’s cool.
That is such an inspiring interview. It's good to see it for a second time.
That is one of the greatest feelings when you get feedback like he received - it definitely keeps you wanting to do the best you can. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks even I got goosebumps from the phone conversation with Jimmy
This is one of the coolest stories. When you’ve inspired someone on Jimmy Page’s level, you’ve earned wings! Great story and, apparently, a great guitar!
Otis for me this is one of the best interview you have ever done. Being a woodworker I'm fascinated by luthiers!! Please release the entire interview. 🙏
I only "discovered" Otis about a year ago so I never saw this video. I'm so glad Otis republished it because this is a great story with a sweet vibe. There's something I love about a master craftsman/artist who is totally confident in what he does, understands the impact his creations have in the world, but doesn't take himself too seriously. What a pleasure to see someone like Chris Swope get the validation many creators never receive. Good on you, Chris! ✌❤. And thanks to Otis for being the master craftsman/artist that HE is. You're a gift to the world, Otis! 🙏
What a Great Story - Love It .... Thanks Otis
A great change of pace - an interview with an obviously experienced and skilled Luthier. Liked his comment hat fretwork is he most important part.
What a story I’m smiling from ear to ear. Thank you.
Literally got goose bumps from this. Great story. Thanks for sharing.
Otis and Chris, this post is so good words cannot express!
As a rather large Zep fan, when Chris was speaking of the '07 concert I was feeling so 'over the moon' myself, I may need to hitch a ride back to good ol' Earth!
I mean, like crazee, man!
Good on you Otis for arranging this interview! Chris was obviously awestruck when handed the phone!
Fantastic! Kudos to Chris and you, Otis!
You guys make me want keep putting one foot in front of the other!!
Thanks doesn't say enough!!
I hope for all for a fantastic 2024 and beyond! Especially bcuz we are just barely past the first anniversary of the loss of Jimmy's childhood friend, Jeff Beck!
I don't know if this was your strategy, but I love the execution!!
I can barely contain myself!!!!
Thanks for the great interview and insight into rock history.
Great story told in the best understated way. Wonder if he ever got to see Zep. It was a real treat back in the day.
My guitar teacher always took his guitars to Sadowsky in the 80s and they were always so mint.
A job well done.... Congratulations 🎉
Nice to see this again.
.....tnx,,,Mr.OTIS... this story floats 10 ' off the ground...😮❤omg
Wonderful wonderful story .
I thought was gonna be lame. It's NOT! That was a super cool story! That guy lives my dream, making works of art that are used to create works of art. AWESOME. Good thing he has that job. If I did the world would awash in super bright berry blue quilted flame topped SGs and Casinos, lol. Not many people can claim the job satisfaction of that man. Rock on.
Otis doesn't do lame!!
Thank you Chris.
He's the guy you want.
Labor of love ❤
Thank you for sharing such a nice story.
Great story. Roger Sadowsky worked on a few of my guitars so I know what he's talking about. Cheers!
What a great story!! Cheers!
Beautiful story!
Wow that was beautiful
What an epic story 👏 seeing your creation at the O2 would’ve been awesome ✊
Now that’s a good story! Excellent!
That's a moment right there! Be Chuckin proud to the enth degree. Couldn't ask for a better ending!
Thanks for that…I’m inspired!
That was a wonderful story 🎼🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

Right on! I may be able to make that gig in Galveston. My brother lives near there.
Great all over again!!
Great story!
Outstanding, "I've bot a few hundred bucks, I want one". "Oh, I see, o.k., can't afford it". However good for Jimmy and way cool for Chris. Thanks brother you're appreciated.
Bot = "got" oops
Very cool story
I don't get star-struck either, but I just got star-struck listening to him telling about getting star-struck by being on the phone with Jimmy Page.
That Guitar sounds awesome on the Celebration Day DVD (I hope that's yours anyway) Top Story 👍
If you listen to the end you get the answer.
This is one of the greatest stories of all time! Check out, Swope guitars! Built by Chris Swope himself. They are fantastic!
Every picture tells a story.
Neat story
❤❤❤
Modern Gibson is the Orange County Choppers of guitar build.
Though for sure he was going to ask for another one for a back up . That would be a tough build to follow .
Jimmy is #1
Workin' it or Jerkin' it?! 🤣 What a great story. 🎵
👌😎
I swear Ive seen this video before. Is this a repost?
Cool story.
O2 arena show? In my time of dying?
So groovy. James Page FTW.
Remember back in the 70's when rock stars just grabbed Les Pauls off the wall and played them?
Pretty sure I could die easy after that! lol
I dont blame jimmy chuck berry is a legend.
If he was that happy your work. Tell to call you back after work. You have guitars to build…
Chuck Berry invented double notes as far as I know.
question with all of the money jimmy has was there not nothing he could have bought that would have been vintage and something he was lookin for
Meet the man that saved Jimmy Page.
Sounds like Gibson and NASA have something common,, they lost their technology .
Cut your hair, dye it. You'll look 20 years younger.
The way kids are today why would anyone want to look young?
Great story. Hats off to Chris Swope!!
*Great* story!
Great story. Hats off to Chris Swope!!
