Found this on the Fretboard Journal web page. Maybe this is the guy who built Neils guitar.
Every week, the Fretboard Journal staff records a podcast interview with an influential musician or musical instrument maker. This week, we talk to Richard Hoover
of the Santa Cruz Guitar Company. For over 30 years, Hoover has been creating world-class acoustic guitars. We'll hear about his latest creations, his building philosophy and some of his famous clients (which include Eric Clapton, Doc Watson, Tony Rice, Warren Haynes and Otis Taylor).
