Podcast 330: Richard Hoover (Santa Cruz Guitar Co.) Returns

The Fretboard Journal... Book Club? Today, guitarmaking legend
Richard Hoover of the Santa Cruz Guitar Company joins us for a
unique conversation about reading, reflection and empathy. He
shares the two books he's reading now and invites listeners to
submit questions, thoughts or reflections on the pair.

We also learn about Richard's reading habits in general, his
upbringing in California, how SCGC weathered COVID, the impact
the scientific method had on his builds, and much more. It's a
unique glimpse into the mind of one of the great acoustic
guitarmakers of the modern era.

The books Richard is currently reading:
W.E.B Du Bois' 'The Soul of Black Folk' (Amazon link) 
'The Little Flowers of St. Francis of Assisi' (Amazon link)
