Guitarist Austin Woodward of Black Vinyl joined the Charvel family this week, and he took to YouTube to broadcast the announcement.

Woodward, 16, is based out of Nashville and has recently been recording with some of Music City’s top studio musicians.  He has even shared the stage with stars like Chris Tompkins at The BlueBird Café and Lenny Kravitz at the Ryman in Nashville, in addition to enjoying a private jam session with Vince Gill.

Woodward is also being featured in legendary photographer Robert M. Knight’s latest project, The Brotherhood of Guitar, where Knight searches the world for the 20 best new guitarists.
