Master guitar builder’s job is truly a labor of love at Gibson Guitar in Bozeman, Montana

Between getting the rock star treatment at industry conventions and traveling the globe in search of materials, Gibson Guitar’s master guitar builder Ferguson creates some of the world’s most original and sought-after guitars.

One of those instruments now resides at Music Villa in downtown Bozeman, number six in the Master Museum Collection. The guitar’s intricate artwork tells the story of the West from exploration to settlement. The price tag: $50,000.
The man behind this masterpiece is Ren Ferguson, 59, a native of Michigan, raised in Los Angeles. This world-famous craftsman was initially drawn into woodworking in high school.
