About ASIA

Learn about the Association of Stringed Instrument Artisans and the history behind the journal.


For decades, the Association of Stringed Instrument Artisans (ASIA) published the Guitarmaker Journal, documenting the craft, theory, and culture of guitarmaking.

Guitarmaker.org continues that tradition as a living online journal and structured archive. Historical articles are presented alongside new writing and reflections, organized for thoughtful reading and long-term reference. The aim is simple: to preserve, refine, and extend the written knowledge of the craft.
