The Next Chapter for Guitarmaker

Guitarmaker Journal ceased print publication in 2017 and continued as a quarterly PDF through early 2025.

What’s happening now? ASIA is transforming the journal into a fully searchable online archive, with new writing in development. The organization continues in a new form, centered on preserving and sharing guitarmaking knowledge.

Please check back soon as this next phase takes shape.

PDFs of Guitarmaker Magazine

As of June 2017, we no longer sell back issues of Guitarmaker magazine. We have, however, converted the entire archive to PDF and made it available for members to read online. You can access the PDF archive on the Back Issues page.

“ASIA is an organization where you not only grow your skills, but grow your extended family. I have met so many wonderful, knowledgeable people through this organization.” ~Michael Dickinson, Martin Guitar
