Meeting
Nov 1, 2015
Robbie buffing out the Dread body
Frank's 3-string
All magnolia guitar. Open tuning of A-E-A, single humbucker. Perfect for slide.
Fabric tape
Martin uses something similar to this to minimize side splitting. Get it at your local fabric store.
Abalone veneer
Very thin, adhesive backed abalone veneer that can be used for inlay or other decorative purposes.
Chet's well worn soundboard
He fixed the cracks and plans to use forward shifted bracing. He's going to keep that "well worn" look.
Chet's shop in Roanoke, VA
