Joe Oltean Master Builder

I don't use the term 'master builder' often but it perfectly suits today's guest. Joe Oltean is as humble as he is talented. His use of laminating, fine Japanese style crafting and an eye for the finer aspects of woodwork truly elevate the CBG to atmospheric levels. Joe also builds extremely playable instruments and can tear up a fretboard like a beast. He's a great bloke and we are very lucky to have him here on our group as a moderator. In this episode we talk to Joe about his epic undertaking of building eleven high quality CBGs at once. Not a job for the feint hearted!  You can find Joe on Facebook under 'Clutch Creations' and of course on the FB group. Order yours today, you won't be sorry.  The best place to listen to podcasts is in your workshop or on long drives.
