Our\\xa0Fretboard Summit\\xa0OM guitar project is now nearing completion. On this episode, we conduct one last Skype conversation with luthier T. Drew Heinonen to talk about the instrument, where it stands currently and about some of the finishing touches Drew will be making to the guitar. He tells us a bit about pore fillers, the intricacies of UV finishes, how he prefers to glue the bridge to the body, the merits of Ironwood as a replacement for Ebony and much more.

We\\u2019ll be unveiling this guitar for the first time at the Fretboard Summit, October 14-16, 2016 in San Diego, California.\\xa0Join us\\xa0for three days of music, guitar talks, interviews and panels if you can. We\\u2019ll even let you play this very guitar. It\\u2019s going to be a blast.

Special thanks to\\xa0Stewart MacDonald\\xa0for sponsoring this and other Summit guitar episodes.
