Author John Kokel

John L. Kokel has lived all over the eastern U.S., and even in Europe. Although he has dabbled in lead guitar wankery for 25 years, his real love is the gear itself. He has done plenty of work as a live guitar tech, but spending two years studying guitar craft under the tutelage of a leading luthier was “instrumental” in taking the game to the next level. John’s lifetime music catalog is a blend of metal and prog-rock, although 80s pop remains a guilty pleasure. His hobbies include writing, guitars, guns, and motorcycles. His goal is to finish and publish a viable novel someday. He and his South African wife Amber have relocated to South Carolina to torment Austin Kokel as often as possible.
