Guitarist Bill Nershi is best known as a founding member of The String Cheese Incident, but he is also active with several other projects. A long-time Santa Cruz player (check out his D-Nershi signature model!), Bill and his wife and musical partner Jilian Nershi stopped by the Santa Cruz shop during a recent west coast tour. In this video, the duo performs “Lonesome Blues,” with Bill playing a custom Santa Cruz OM built with koa back and sides and an Adirondack spruce top.
