SP Luthier Notes: Fret dress and setup
Since graduating from Roberto Venn School of Luthiery in 1978, the quest to understand what makes great guitars was instilled and continues to intrigue me. The careful blending of fine tone woods and old world craftsmanship (I still mainly use hand tools) lays the foundation for the sonic and aesthetic qualities that define a Branzell Guitar.
