On this week\u2019s Fretboard Journal podcast, we\u2019re sharing the talk that acclaimed luthier TJ Thompson gave at the 2016 Fretboard Summit in San Diego. This talk was billed as \u201cMyth Busting with TJ Thompson\u201d 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.\xa0

This\xa0was easily one of the most candid talks at the Summit. By popular demand (and with his permission), we\u2019re 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\u2019ll be sharing those in the near future, too.
