Welcome!

January 11th, 2006

Welcome to the official Fretboard Journal Blog! We realize three months between each issue of our magazine is quite a wait, so with this handy medium, we’re hoping to fill you in with updates, news from the musical instrument universe, reviews of great CDs/books, concert reviews, and much more. It’s basically a glimpse into the inner workings of our magazine, from what’s on our stereo to what’s on our minds.

Some random news from the field: In about a week’s time, we’ll be attending musical instrument orgy known as the NAMM Show, in Anaheim, Calif. FJ representatives will be on-hand to try out new gear, talk to writers for our forthcoming issues and overhear a lot of bass amps being tested to their limits (we actually dread the last part). We’ll be posting news from the convention as we get it, whether it’s a cool archtop we just can’t get enough of or just good gossip. With any luck, we’ll have a bit of each.

As always, we value your feedback. So if you have any ideas for magazine articles you’re dying to see, great luthiers we need to cover, or just plain general constructive criticism, we’d love to hear about it. You can always email us at info@fretboardjournal.com And if you like what you’re seeing in our mag, be sure to tell your pals, local guitar store, etc. As an independent media outlet, we rely on word-of-mouth advertising from our faithful readers. The FJ Staff
