Gabriel (Gabriel Tenorio String Company) joins me on this episode to talk about his musical roots from El Paso and learning to play guitar growing up in Los Angeles. He describes his journey from hanging out at Guadulupe Strings as a working guitar player, to eventually working for the company, to branching out on his own to create GTSco. He describes his process for creating his handwound strings using only round core steel. We talk about the importance of community and the music that surrounds his shop in Boyle Heights. He then tells me why a telecaster is his favorite guitar and about the one he recently built for his shop. And last but not least, he discusses his favorite tacos and his love for them.
