Fretboard Journal Podcast 36: Vintage Gibson Historian Joe Spann

In May of 2011, Joe Spann will release Spann's Guide to Gibson 1902-1941, a new book on vintage Gibson guitars, mandolins and banjos that may very well rewrite how we classify, age and think about these wonderful instruments. Spann did copious amounts of research for his 300-page book, including interviewing the few still-living employees of Gibson from this era.

On our 36th podcast, FJ publisher Jason Verlinde talks to Spann about the book and some of the facts he uncovered during the research process. We hope you enjoy this half-hour conversation.
