| About Fretboard Journal |
|
If you're anything like us, you love guitars but never really could get your head around "guitar magazines." Too many ads, too many how-to-shred lessons, too many artists you could care less about....
The Fretboard Journal is a new, quarterly magazine for acoustic and electric instrument obsessives like us. We ignore trends and hype and bands-of-the-month and focus on quality writing and world-class photography. Each issue is a keepsake and something you'll want to show off to music-loving friends. Our early issues sell for serious money on eBay, something we find flattering ... we just set out to make a really nice, informative magazine.
The magazine is printed on art book quality paper and with an elegant layout. We restrict the number of ads we run in each issue to a small percentage of the overall book. You'll never see stories broken up by ugly ads in this magazine. Think of it as Architectural Digest but for guitar geeks. Or maybe the Surfers Journal/Rodder's Journal for those who own a mandolin... you get the idea. Check it out at www.fretboardjournal.com.
The magazine can be found throughout the US at Barnes & Noble, Borders, Guitar Center, and finer guitar stores and newsstands. We encourage our readers to subscribe: it helps us plan future issues better and it contributes more to our bottom line than newsstand sales. You'll even save a few bucks per issue and precious gas money.
Our new Summer 2008 issue features an interview with mandolin hot shot Chris Thile done by mandolin hero David Grisman; a lengthy interview with dobro legend Jerry Douglas; an in-depth look into the life of guitar builder Jean Larrivee; a photo essay of Ranger Doug's Stromberg guitar collection and much more.
The Fretboard Journal blog over on our real interweb site (www.fretboardjournal.com/blog) is filled with daily tidbits of musical instrument and musician news, great guitar finds and cool links to other news sites. Check it out.
