Podcast 476: The 2024 Fretboard Summit Repair Panel

What makes a great luthier tick? On this week's Fretboard Journal Podcast, we attempt to find out.

Recorded live at the 2024 Fretboard Summit, guitar repair gurus Evan Gluck, Tyler Geske, Trevor Healy, Mark Stutman, TJ Thompson, and Joe Glaser talk candidly about the personality traits that drove them to working on guitars. We hear about their attention to detail, the perils of imposter syndrome, and why time management is paramount. It's an unfiltered chat with six of the most detail-oriented and thoughtful individuals in the guitar space.
