The Fretboard Summit in Chicago was a huge whirlwind of reconnections and overdue IRL meetings! And of course: the many, many stunning guitars.
As you may know, I'm a player of both ‪@JewittGuitars‬ and ‪@blindguitars‬, and with both of them in one place, I had to get some interviews in.
Jeff showed off his feast of Redwood and Cypress, from rich baritone to 00. Watch for some bonus chats and demos from ‪@MattThomasmusic‬, ‪@tacguitar‬, ‪@TomSandsGuitars‬, ‪@SantaCruzGuitarCo‬, and ‪@eddiesguitars‬.

Virgile Pilon of Blind Guitars brought two stunning Ancient Cypress guitars, including his 100th, an incredible Ditson-inspired model. So great to get the scoop on design changes he's made over the years.
‪@aaronlucasguitars‬ supplied the Ancient Cypress both Virgile and Jeff used, and is a builder himself. Needless to say, I had to get the back story on this beautiful, intriguing wood, too.

God your take on Nothing's fifty fifty always gave me goosebumps. Really interesting video as usual.

I had the pleasure of being at the FS on Sunday where I met Jeff and Lindsay. For any guitarist or guitar nerd, it is a fantastic event. I’m so glad I went!

That looked like a whole lot of fun - cool Dark Forest Cypress T-shirt, too!

[@WriterMikeMonson]

Thanks!

Thanks, Lindsay! I tried getting into Patreon, but too many (invisible for me) keys to hit, text font too small ( for this legally blind guy), and it doesn't do my voice commands. I haven't had so many problems signing up with others. It was great to see & hear other guitars that were not covered by other sites (on my large monitor computer). Thanks.

Glad this one works for you!
