Sherwin Linton made his first guitar out of a yardstick and a cigar box. In 1965, he graduated to building his own double neck guitar out of a Fender Jazzmaster. After 59 years of performing, the precision remains: Linton has never missed a show. 

He holds a Ripley’s Believe It Or Not World Record for that. He’s also the only musician to have been inducted into both the Minnesota Music Hall of Fame and the South Dakota Music Hall of Fame. There’s a reason Linton is known as “Mid-America’s Country Music Legend.”
