The Guitologist | 5 years ago

In this video, we'll hear the UNTOLD STORY of how 3 great American guitar manufacturers - Gibson, Taylor, and Fender - helped improve the Louisville Slugger baseball bat, and in the process, changed the American past time of baseball for the better. We'll also explore the Hillerich & Bradsby Louisville Slugger museum in downtown Louisville, Kentucky and speak with the great-great-grandson of the company's founder, Bobby Hillerich. We talk about polyester vs. polyurethane finishes, vacuum drying, slope of grain, the decimation of North American ash tree forests by the emerald ash borer, and much more! This is the story of my first two great loves - baseball and guitar - coming together.
