Our final in-person get together of the year did not disappoint. We missed folks but also met some great new friends:@Paul Jedi Samurai, Lars @patreon_150176814 , Grant, and Scott.

@patreon_52428768 brought a 3-d printed and a traditional guitar for us to compare and contrast. He also brought a very cool pickup harness jig for testing them without hooking them up to a guitar!

Paul and @nvgrandls inspected a neck and offered up some repair advice.

Lars and I learned about the historical significance of the bump on the StewMac t-shape template.

This was followed by dinner and even more discussions about why we build guitars.

We have some fun things coming in 2026

I’m trying to add photos and failing. Will try to add to the comments
