Guitars and fretted instruments are our passion. And, with each quarterly, 128 page issue of the Fretboard Journal we try to spotlight the stories you can’t find anywhere else: long-form interviews with legendary luthiers, music icons interviewing fellow icons, lesser-known instrument histories and drool worthy photo essays and travelogues. It’s a unique journey and we hope you’ll join us.

Our magazine is a true keepsake and unlikely anything you’ve ever seen: We print on the industry’s highest quality paper stock and are exacting with our photography. Each issue weighs in at over a pound. We also limit the advertising in each issue so that you get what you’re paying for… great storytelling. Every subscriber copy is sent in a sturdy cardboard mailer ensuring no transit damage.

Our coverage expands beyond the printed page. All of our followers get complimentary access to our weekly podcast, memorable video shoots and daily online content.

In addition, subscribers get first access and discounts to our events, including our legendary Fretboard Summit, local reader meetups and more. We also have a few digital surprises in store for you each year that will show in your mailbox for supporting our efforts.
