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. Our next Fretboard Summit takes place August 20-22, 2026, at the Old Town School of Folk Music in Chicago.
