Podcast 539: Mark Stutman (Folkway Music) Returns

Acclaimed vintage guitar repairperson Mark Stutman (Folkway Music) joins the Fretboard Journal Podcast once again.  We talk about his early training as a luthier, running Folkway Music, and his approach to repairing vintage acoustics that may have left the factory with a quirk or two. We also talk about Mark's love for film and digital photography and so much more.    Mark is a frequent guest on our podcast, a speaker at our annual Fretboard Summit and even contributed the cover photo that graces our 58th issue! We hope you enjoy this chat.    https://folkwaymusic.com https://www.instagram.com/folkwaymusic https://www.instagram.com/folkway_repairs/ Our next Fretboard Summit takes place August 20-22, 2026, at the Old Town School of Folk Music in Chicago.
