Visit Jimmi's site for the latest in her amazing work. My favorite inlay artist... you bet!
Stephen Bennett - National Fingerstyle Guitar Champion and Master of the Harp Guitar
is the newest member of the Wingert family of players. Stephen is busy playing the instrument and getting ready to record. Until he writes something long and pithy, I only have quotes like, "Wow!" and "It's great!"
Pat Kirtley - National Fingerstyle Guitar Champion
"Some guitars play great, some guitars look fabulous, some have a powerful, balanced sound. Some makers, like Kathy Wingert, create guitars with all those qualities at once. Her designs demonstrate the merging of music and visual art executed with flair, fine workmanship, and superb attention to detail"
Steve Kaufman - Three time national flatpicking champion
Check out Steve's CD on CD Baby. This is what he was kind enough to say about my guitars when we met at one of his flatpicking workshops: "Kathy Wingert is a luthier whose craftsmanship can only be equaled by her pride in excellence. She builds a heck of a box."
Cosy Sheridan - Singer/Songwriter
"Kathy Wingert's dreadnought guitars are terrific! I love them! They have a deep, resonant response, they can fingerppick and flatpick, and on top of that they're beautiful pieces of art."
Fran Guidry
Kaleponi is California in Hawaiian language, and the name of Fran's second CD of Slack Key instrumental tunes. Fran is a musical player with a traditional but original style of his own, giving him a devoted following among fans and Hawaiian musicians. Fran was chosen for 2007 to teach Slack Key at the Healdsburg Guitar Festival and put on a lovely Cabaret performance. He demoed for Wingert Guitars as well. Check out some of Fran's performances at You Tube and give him some LOVE!
Jody William Smith on CD Baby
Jody has recorded an amazing album, and I am bursting with pride to have my guitars show up on two-thirds of the cuts. Jody is a superb story teller and picture painter all within the confines of well-crafted songs. Seriously good guitar chops.
Doug Young Acoustic Guitar
Laurel Mill is Doug's first CD of mostly original instrumental tunes, with a few original arrangements. Laurel Mill was nominated for the 2004 Just Plain Folks Music Award in the Solo Guitar category and took 2nd Place. Doug is a great player and a frequent contributor to Acoustic Guitar Magazine.
Philippe Fouquet
Philippe is an exciting player, and I'm honored that he used a Cambodian Wingert E to compete in “Les Revelations Guitarist Acoustic 2006”. Phillipe took fingerstyle laureat. Congratulations, Philippe! See Philippe on Youtube
Lawrence Blatt on CD Baby
Check out ths multi-textured offering of original instrumentals from Lawrence. This wonderful collection features a teeny little Wingert parlor guitar on several cuts that, as usual, seems to not know it's a teeny little parlor guitar. Congratulations, Larry, on a very fine recording.
