Podcast 379: Steve McCreary (Collings Guitars & Mandolins)

Recorded live at the 2022 Fretboard Summit in Chicago: Steve
McCreary, GM of Collings Guitars & Mandolins joins Fretboard
Journal publisher Jason Verlinde for a candid discussion about
the revered guitar and mandolin company. 


During our session, we get Steve's thoughts on numerous topics:
Collaborating with Julian Lage on the Collings' 470 JL and OM JL
models; the work that went into the matching pairs of guitars
that Collings made just for the Chicago Fretboard Summit; and how
the company has changed since Bill Collings' passing. Plus a lot
more... 

The Fretboard Summit took place August 25-27, 2022 at Chicago's
Old Town School of Folk Music; we hope to return the Summit to
Old Town once again in 2023. 


 


Special thanks to our 2022 Fretboard Summit sponsors: Martin

Collings, RODE, Reverb, and Galloup Guitars.
