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.

This week's podcast sponsor is TR Crandall, a must-see vintage guitar shop in New York City.
