Guest:
in 2014, George Strait had a bit of a problem. He was about to wrap up his "Cowboy Rides Away" tour and guitars that had been ordered for his merchandise booth got held up in customs. His merchandise manager found out about Graphic Guitar Guys and called to see how quickly Scott's fledgling business could produce 432 wrapped guitars. One very deep breath later, the deal was done and it was full speed ahead for Scott to have those guitars ready for the June 7, 2014 final concert of the tour in Arlington, Texas. A shot of that wrapped guitar was included in the story "Rolling Stone" featured about "King George's" concert.
A week later Merle Haggard's people called.
And the rest, as they say, is history.
Scott tells us about his love for Country Music and his town and how he's been able to provide guitars to some of the most popular musicians in the country.
