Podcast 491: Jim D'Addario

D'Addario founder and Fretboard Journal 55 cover subject Jim
D'Addario joins us this week for a fascinating talk about
strings, innovation, and so much more. 


We talk about Jim's first mentor, Mario Maccaferri; Jim's
relentless work ethic, where he sees forthcoming innovation in
guitar strings; and much more. It's a great chat with one of our
favorite FJ subjects.
