Listen "Podcast 492: New Acoustics With Old Souls (Live from the Fretboard Summit 2024)"
Episode Synopsis
How do you make a new acoustic guitar sound slightly more "vintage?" This was the nebulous premise that Jason posed to three great builders at the 2024 Fretboard Summit: John Slobod (Circa Guitars), TJ Thompson, and Steve "Nully" Nall from Collings. In this live panel, we hear these luthiers' thoughts on the topic, including wood, the importance of aging (even with a brand new guitar), the hardest body style to make sound period correct, and so much more. It's 45 minutes of great insights from three exceptional makers. http://www.circaguitars.com/ https://proluthiertools.com/ https://collingsguitars.com/ Want to be a part of our next Summit?
