Thirty years ago, luthier Dana Bourgeois (Bourgeois Guitars) and performer/vintage guitar dealer Eric Schoenberg teamed up to create a guitar that was at once both very traditional and very forward-thinking, the Schoenberg Soloist. The Soloist was Eric\\u2019s dream fingerstyle instrument \\u2013 a traditionally-built Martin OM-style guitar built\\xa0with a wider neck and a cutaway built into the body. On today\\u2019s podcast, we talk about the making of the Soloist and hear about the limited run of Soloist 30th Anniversary guitars that they\\u2019ve created. We also discover\\xa0why Eric loves Martin necks from 1930; the tonal differences he hears between 12 and 14-fret guitars; and much more.
