The last official talk at the 2016 Fretboard Summit featured three giants in the world of guitarmaking: Rick Turner, Dana Bourgeois and Andy Powers. This sprawling talk covers a lot of ground: What makes a great guitar? How long are guitars supposed to last? Will artificial intelligence take over guitar making? They also fielded plenty of enlightening questions from our audience. [Note: Audio is a little variable with audience questions \\u2013 not everyone spoke into a microphone \\u2013 but the answers should be plenty audible.]\\xa0

The second Fretboard Summit took place October 14-16, 2016 in San Diego. Over the next few months, we\\u2019ll be releasing more content \\u2013 talks, panels and concert footage \\u2013 on fretboardjournal.com.
