Podcast 438: Jason Kostal and Mike Baranik at the 2023 Fretboard Summit

The word "handmade" is used a lot when it comes to high-end or
luthier-built instruments, but what does it really mean? On this
week's podcast, guitarmakers and longtime friends Jason Kostal
and Mike Baranik talk about the technology (including CNC
machines) they will and won't use when it comes to their
creations.


Recorded live at the 2023 Fretboard Summit, this is a fascinating
chat about tools, being efficient, making a living as a luthier,
and so much more.
