Joel Edison has been building guitars for over 40 years. He attended the Roberto-Venn School of Luthiery (guitar making and repair) in Phoenix and spent time in the shop of Topeka guitar legend Dan Falley. Edison has contributed several guitars to Jam4Dan fundraisers, and this is his fifth guitar donated for the benefit of the Topeka Blues Society.
