Tulsa, Oklahoma’s, Seth Lee Jones is best known as a master luthier, but thanks to the swampy blues and country licks on his latest album, Tulsa Custom, that could easily change.

Jones has built or modified every guitar he plays.

He says, “Since I’ve been doing this 22 years now, I’ve done somewhere close to 30,000 fret jobs. Holding a crowning file for that many hours a day will tear you up if you’re not careful.”

“I’ve done somewhere close to 30,000 fret jobs. Holding a crowning file for that many hours a day will tear you up if you’re not careful”: How fixing thousands of guitars changed the way Tulsa blues cat Seth Lee Jones plays the thing

Jones is bringing a slice of everyday Tulsa into his Delta blues-inspired sound, and his new album might bring him as much renown as a player as he has a luthier

Interesting. Vid #2 Long Distance Call with the voice/lead counterpoint is quite good. George Benson-ish.
Add a voice box, and it would be even more interesting.
Simple efficient and ballsy.
