Being the boss, and an expert in the field, certainly has it’s perks. One of those Boss Jim perks was an invitation to host a talk at the first ever Fretboard Summit, put on by our friends at Fretboard Journal, discussing vintage guitar restoration. Everyone from Bryan Sutton and Bill Frisell, to some of our favorite builders like Dale Fairbanks and Bill Collings were in attendance at the summit. Here are links to two wrap ups from the event by Fretboard Journal and Peghead Nation!

Thanks to everyone who came out to our Eastman Roadshow! Always fun to hang out at the store after business hours are over.

We had a great time at our Recording Clinic with friend of the store and rep Michael Canning. Keep an eye on the blog for more tips/tricks on improving your recording setup. We’re experimenting with a new microphone setup for our demo videos and can’t wait for you to see/hear the results! As always don’t forget to subscribe to our Youtube page to keep up to date on all the latest and great demo videos we’re producing.
