I tell you what, Fretboard Journal for only $10/issue is a bargain: you get *way* more than twice the quality and material than you do from one of the monthly mags that go for about $5, like Acoustic Guitar (which I also like actually). $10 is a steal. Quality vs quantity in my book any day. I hadn't yet subscribed, but hearing that price I think I will.
Thanks for the lead on that one. I checked out the web page and you are correct. They get $40.00 for the year for 4 issues. That's one I'll wait till I start playing for money. lol
No, I don't work for them or anything -- but I am partial to magazines that make their money by really focusing on quality rather than advertising and have articles longer than 1 or 2 pages. Surfboard Journal and Alpinist magazines, same thing.
My 2 cents...
