Grit Laskin Binding a Cutaway Guitar

Tagawa writes about how he learned of ASIA and reminds to use recycled paper to save spruce for making guitars. Davis takes the editor task for excessive and insensitive use of humor in the previous issue of Guitarmaker. Boak apologizes for the aforementioned misuse of humor.
