The May CJWA meeting will be on Wednesday, May 8, at 7:00 pm. We are very excited to have Jay Rosenblatt come talk to us about the art of lutherie. He will cover the construction of his guitars from start to finish including the tools he uses, jigs and templates used in the construction of his guitars, making the decorative elements, installation of the hardware, and decoration. Jay takes more than 100 hours over several months to complete one of his guitars. Several of his instruments will be on display, and he will also have some woods, tools and templates available for review.
Jay would like to thank his suppliers: Finocchio Guitar works,Luthiers Mercantile, High Mountain Tonewoods, Allied Lutherie, Blues Creek Guitars, Luthiers Suppliers, Hibdon Hardwoods, Tony DiDomenico Guitars, Dale Bartholemew’s Finishing Shop, and Dennis Frye.
This promises to be a fantastic presentation. Hope to see you there.
