Podcast 122: TJ Thompson at the 2016 Fretboard Summit

On this week’s Fretboard Journal podcast, we’re sharing the talk
that acclaimed luthier TJ Thompson gave at the 2016 Fretboard
Summit in San Diego. This talk was billed as “Myth Busting with
TJ Thompson” and had the following description in our program:


Adirondack you say? What makes you think so? Is it possible to
build a new guitar just like the old guitars? How long is long
scale? Is hide glue really better? Should you have that popsicle
brace removed? Internet bloggers who believe they know the
answers to these questions beware, this lecture may not be for
you. 


This was easily one of the most candid talks at the Summit.
By popular demand (and with his permission), we’re sharing it
today. At the 2016 Summit, TJ was also on panels discussing
vintage Martin guitars, vintage acoustic Gibson guitars and the
merits of the PLEK machine. We’ll be sharing those in the near
future, too.
