The Fretboard Journal Spring 2008 Issue Is Here!
March 1st, 2008
We are pleased to announce that the ninth issue of The Fretboard Journal (a.k.a. our Spring 2008 issue) is out. Subscribers have begun to receive their copies and stores should have them by now. As always, you’ll see plenty of music heroes and world class guitar porn in its 128 pages. Acclaimed Clapton’s Guitar author Allen St. John interviews singer-songwriter Richard Thompson for this issue’s cover story. Also inside: Alanna Nash interviews Vince Gill; Dave Hunter talks to Mark Baier of Victoria Amps; an in-depth feature on Fred Walecki and Los Angeles’ Westwood Music; a photo essay on the “guitar town” of Paracho, Mexico; luthier Kim Walker’s Solo Novo archtop; and much more. It’s not too late to subscribe and start with this issue (and land a nice discount over the newsstand price). Just head on over to our Subscription page.

Didn’t issue 8 just come out?

Current subscribers got issue eight around Thanksgiving time so this sounds about right…

Great! I’ll be waiting for this one. I’m hoping you’ll explain the unique split bridge of Thompson’s guitar (see here).

Got me one of them Victoria Deluxe amps. It beats my original Fender Tweed Deluxe to death in the tone department. It’s much tighter, focused, and loud as
a train.

Does anyone know anything about this small guitar, other than its maker who is holding it, shown on page 82?

Just a quick note to say thanks to Jason and the gang for another tremendous issue (Number 9) of the Fretboard Journal! It’s the first magazine of any genre that I routinely read from cover to cover. Literally.
Keep up the great work!

At risk of sounding obsessive compulsive (which I am) and knit picky (which I also confess), in Jason’s, “Opening Notes,” he mentions a Kamaka Ukulele factory tour, written by, Harvey Leonard Gotliffe. Not only have I read every word, but now have re-scoured the pages looking for this article. Maybe it’s coming out in the next issue?

Craig… yes, good catch. You are obsessive. You caught one of our issue’s typos. We had to bump the Kamaka story to our Summer issue at the last minute. It’ll definitely appear in that issue. My goof…
Jason
