Billy Strings and his band stopped by Preston Thompson Guitars in Sisters, Oregon, to meet Preston in person to pick up his second Thompson, a Brazilian Sunburst Dreadnought. We had a great few hours of visiting with him and hearing him play his new guitar while getting a tour of the shop and meeting all the crew. It was an inspiring day for all of us.
