The Fretboard Journal's Legacy and the Evolution of Guitar Culture, with Jason Verlinde

Welcome to Life With Strings Attached. I’m your host, Jamie Gale.
In this episode, I’m joined by Jason Verlinde, publisher and co-founder of The Fretboard Journal; one of the most respected voices in guitar culture today.

Jason’s work has always focused on documenting the deeper stories behind guitars, the builders, the players, the history, and the community that surrounds the instrument. For over twenty years, The Fretboard Journal has prioritised quality, curiosity, and independence over trends and hype.

In our conversation, we talk about Jason’s journey from music journalism to building a publication rooted in personal taste, the balance between commerce and culture, and how the Fretboard Summit has become a meaningful gathering point for the guitar community.

I thoroughly enjoyed my conversation with Jason, and I hope you do as much as I did.
