This is a big milestone for us: 2025 marks our 20th year of doing the Fretboard Journal. Our 55th issue continues our mission to celebrate gear icons, up-and-coming players and luthiers with guitar tales you've never read before. 

In this issue: A deep conversation with D'Addario founder Jim D'Addario, an industry leader in the world of strings and accessories who just can't stop tinkering; an interview with mandolin hero Sarah Jarosz, who somehow is one of the world's best instrumentalists and singer-songwriters; and a trip to the French atelier of archtop guitarmaker Bryant Trenier.

We also sit down with Big Thief's Adrianne Lenker; Jake Xerxes Fussell; Matt Eich of Mule Resophonics, and so much more. 

It's the guitar magazine of our dreams and hopefully yours, too.
