Guth Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Back in 1991, Acoustic Guitar magazine brought four different luthiers together to talk about their craft via a roundtable discussion. Amongst the four was Ren Ferguson. I thought a number of you here might appreciate this look back in time. A big thank you to the fine folks at Acoustic Guitar magazine who actually granted me permission to post this article here. All the best, Guth Luthiers Roundtable, 1991 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red 333 Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Thanks for posting, Guth. That conversation--especially regarding the concerns over wood conservation--could have taken place yesterday. Red 333 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-minor7 Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Curious find – Always a good idea to set up an expert summit. This is a Ren at the start of the big rebirth. I'm kind of glad to see him ask the same question I asked here a long time ago : I can't fathom the volume of guitars that can be consumed, , , , , , , , , , , , where do all those go ? He continues about a Korean factory that churns out 90.000 string-instruments a month. It's unbelievable, , , high end as low – guitars very seldom smash or burn out like cars (let's forget about James Taylors point of view here). They stay alive and become long time hang-arounds if they don't circulate the second hand market or disappear under the bed. I still can't fathom it either - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guth Posted September 10, 2012 Author Share Posted September 10, 2012 How does the saying go? The more things change, the more they stay the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
