The 36th issue of the Fretboard Journal is now mailing to subscribers, newsstands and select guitar stores worldwide. As always, we chase down some of the brightest lights in our little fretted universe, including music heroes, icons, lutherie greats and the occasional eccentric. In 36: A visit to session icon Bob Bain; backstage with guitar wizard Derek Trucks; the old world apprenticeship program of master builder Ervin Somogyi; a visit to luthier Nikos Apollonio’s Maine workshop; Nashville singer-songwriter Paul Burch; a complex (to say the least) guitar homage to Linda Manzer via builder David Berkowitz and much more. As always, the Journal weighs in at 128 pages and its keepsake pages are filled with exclusive photographs and in-depth interviews you won’t find anywhere else.
