What is the Fretboard Journal Magazine?

The Fretboard Journal is a keepsake magazine for guitar, mandolin and stringed instrument players. In the same vein of other "coffee table magazines" such as Gastronomica,, The Surfers Journal and the Rodder's Journal, it boasts high-end production values, lengthy interviews and exclusive photography in each issue. Each issue is filled with photos of rare instruments, well-known musicians, and even the workshops of instrument builders. The magazine is also available on the iPad.

The first issue of the Fretboard Journal was unveiled in November 2005. Stories included an interview with mandolinist David Grisman, an interview with Charlie Louvin by Neko Case, and a profile of Santa Cruz Guitar Co. The second issue featured Case on the cover discussing tenor guitars, an article about Martin Guitars, history and an interview with mandolinist Andy Statman.  Issues now come out every three months.

In 2012, the magazine celebrated its seventh anniversary with a party for its subscribers and contributors in Seattle's Fremont neighborhood.
