Isaac Jang | Building Guitars with Purpose, Joy, and Soul | LWSA Ep. 50
In this deeply personal episode, master luthier Isaac Jang sits down with Jamie Gale to talk about the human side of world-class guitar making. From his early days as an apprentice under Kathy Wingert to becoming one of the most respected names in modern lutherie, Isaac shares what it means to build guitars that aren’t just precise, but alive. The two discuss work-life balance, legacy, faith, craft, and why making someone smile might be the most important part of the job. Along the way, we get rare insight into:
The value of apprenticeship and long-term mentorship
How spirituality and humility influence the creative process
-Why joy, intention, and integrity matter in every detail. This is not just a conversation about guitars. It’s about what it means to make something that lasts.
