Podcast 492: New Acoustics With Old Souls (Live from the Fretboard Summit 2024)

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.
