Beautiful but misunderstood, archtop guitars made by Martin have long been one of the greatest puzzles in the realm of collectibles. We explain why it’s time to appreciate them for what they are.
Amplifiers built by Howard Alexander Dumble are among the most valuable in the world. Lesser-known early examples like these modded Princeton Reverbs from ’65 and ’66 focus on how the guru got his start.
For decades, Rodney Crowell has been telling stories through enduring compositions, hit singles, and acclaimed albums. His latest is a guitar-driven collection recorded with guests Larkin Poe, Lukas Nelson, and others. We talk with him about it, and dig into his notable guitar collection
We offer a memorial to Bob Weir and discuss new music with Eric Krasno, Glen Tilbrook of Squeeze, David Dvorin, Jay Hooks, Joe Bonamassa, and John Shannon. We also introduce you to the new Music Experience Center at the famed Surf Ballroom.
Wolf Marshall gets starstruck as he guides us through the history and best licks of Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon, while “VG Q&A” lays out how Jack Bruce created his bass tone in Cream.
The “Hit List” review staff takes a listen to new music from Jorma Kaukonen, Yes, Soulive, Mammoth, Duke Levine, and more.
Chances are you need some new decor in the jam room, and our “Approved Gear” staff is here to help you make good choices. This month, we test run Guild M-50 Standard, Peavey VTM, Blackstar TV-10A, and the PRS Fiore HH.
It’s all in the March issue!
