Mike Adams certainly has one of the most enviable jobs in the guitar world. As Julien's Auctions' in-house appraiser, he has the unique opportunity to lay his hands on some bona fide legendary acoustic and electric guitars – including instruments owned by Prince, John Lennon, and Kurt Cobain. Another big name Adams recently ticked off his bucket list? The iconic filmmaker and Renaissance man, David Lynch.
“When David passed, my wife and I spent a lot of time digging into his work,” Adams tells Guitar World. “We'd seen Twin Peaks, of course, but she'd recently watched his Masterclass and wanted me to see a few key sections regarding his philosophy of making art. I found myself moved as I listened to him for hours, and that sent us down the Rabbits hole. We went through it all!
