  there is a sentiment requiring Preparation.

  And instrument set-up is essential preparation for improved playability.

  
  

  February LINT Meeting 

  Saturday February 8, 2025

  Through the generous collaboration with the TCC Library staff of the Trinity River campus, LINT will meet in Downtown Fort Worth.

  We will have:
  

  • "So, Set 'Em Up" ;  Multiple Live Presentations and answers about Instrument set-up: 
  • • What am I looking for?
    • How do I get the best results out of this instrument for my playing style?
  • Access to the LINT library
  • Specialty class schedules discussed
  • bi-monthly meeting schedule and agenda.
  • And our regular Swap-&-Sell and Show-&-Tell.

  2025 Master Workshop

  In the long tradition of bringing highly acclaimed Builders and Repair Professionals,

  LINT is excited to announce the 2025 Masters Workshop featuring

  TJ Thompson

  from West Concord, Mass.

  A professional guitar luthier providing specialty repair tools, guitar

   parts, and authentic Martin and belly bridges.

  
  

  text from Fretboard Journal

  "If you’ve read the pages of the Fretboard Journal (or listened to our podcasts), TJ Thompson’s name should be a familiar one: He’s arguably the world’s preeminent expert on repairing vintage Martin Guitars. He also builds his own, exquisite reproductions of Golden Era Martins and is the guy behind Proluthiertools.com, where he offers specialized tools and reproduction bridges for fellow luthiers working on vintage acoustics."
