The story behind the cover of our 52nd issue: Bluegrass phenom Jake Eddy takes us through one of his favorite guitars, a 1951 Martin D-18.

This guitar graces the cover of the Fretboard JournalThe 52nd issue is now being mailed. Jake will also be performing at our Fretboard Summit 2023 in Chicago August 24-26.
