John Sebastian has a rather impressive and intriguing connection with the music products industry and has for several decades. Did you know he worked in a guitar shop in Manhattan in the 1960s sanding tops? That was before he soared to the top of the charts with the rock band the Lovin' Spoonful. Over the years he has attended many NAMM shows going back to the early 1970s. He has worked with luthiers to create unique instruments and of course he is given credit for electrifying the autoharp.
