Appeared in Issue 15: Fall 2009

Fretboard Journal publisher Jason Verlinde and photographers Doug Van Doren and Liz Fish take us on a tour of Wilco’s Loft, the band’s Chicago studio/office/gear storage space. Amidst the band’s hundreds of guitars, microphones, amps and pedals, Verlinde interviews Jeff Tweedy and Nels Cline about the space itself, their new album and their latest guitar finds. Also included: a detailed look at Cline’s storied 1959 Fender Jazzmaster.
