• A little bit of old, a little bit of new. Don’t let the word “technology” fool you. The first primate who used a stone to crack open a bone was wielding cutting-edge tech at the time.

• One of the things I’ve like most about working as a luthier these past two decades is that slowing down is a job requirement. Right now, I get to focus on cutting forty little notches in the tang ends of this fret wire. Now it fits pleasantly in the bound fingerboard. I never try to rush my work anymore. When I am relaxed, the best results come as naturally as the dawn.
• Prepping the shop for a run of four refrets. It’s always preferable to do them in batches, for me. I can streamline the workflow and make the most of my setup time. #refret #lutherie

• Custom 335 on the bench today. Installed some fantastic @brandonwound_pickups yesterday. Eager to finish up the fretwork and really give this guitar a whirl.
