Guitarist Billy Strings joins us on this week\\u2019s Fretboard Journal Podcast to talk about one of the more interesting instruments we\\u2019ve learned about this year, an electric guitar that his grandfather built in prison (check out the hashtag #prisonguitar on Instagram to see pictures). Billy and Scale Model Guitars of Nashville have spent the last several months restoring the handmade instrument and it\\u2019s finally finished. We also learn about his Preston Thompson guitar, the D-28 he purchased from Bryan Sutton and why he lugs a Fender Deluxe Reverb to all of his acoustic shows.\\xa0

At 22:32, we also get the heartwarming story of how Billy stumbled upon and recovered his father\\u2019s Martin D-93.\\xa0
