ACOUSTIC EXPO 2014: Father and son team Chris and Jeremy Jenkins of Lame Horse guitars build extremely cool guitars in their respective workshops in Texas, USA.

Lame Horse guitars are ideal for the player who demands exceptional tone and playability alongside an individualistic look, as the LH-14 'Sexy Sadie' demonstrates in the video above.
