On this week\u2019s podcast, we\u2019re sharing the vintage Martin guitar panel that took place at the 2016 Fretboard Summit. Included on this panel were guitar experts Mark Stutman (Folkway Music), TJ Thompson, Jim Baggett (Mass Street Music), David Sheppard (Lowe Vintage), Eric Schoenberg and Joe Glaser (Glaser Instruments). Also joining in is Dick Boak from Martin. This episode makes for a nice bookend with Fretboard Journal Podcast #122 with TJ Thompson. Topics include: TJ\u2019s background, the Martin \u201clongscale\u201d myth, proper intonation, hide glue, popsicle braces, slotted bridge pins, why you can\u2019t make a new guitar exactly like an old one and much more. All-told, a fun and informative chat with six of the world\u2019s best-known vintage instrument experts.\xa0
Note: The audience was un-mic\u2019d for this informal session so questions are hard to hear on this podcast. You should be able to figure out all the questions asked via the panel\u2019s responses.
