Just in time for year-end loot-o-rama celebrations of all stripes, this month we bring you our annual Gear of the Year feature highlighting the 73—yes, you read right!—guitars, basses, amps, effects, and other devices that blew our minds and won our coveted Premier Gear award during 2016. We’ve also got in-depth discussions with killer guitarists like Red Fang’s Bryan Giles and David Sullivan, Thalia Zedek, John Scofield, Thin Lizzy founder Eric Bell, and Moon Bros., as well as sagely advice on capturing studio magic from super producers Nick Raskulinecz (Rush, Mastodon), Dave Cobb (Jason Isbell, Sturgill Simpson), and Buddy Miller (Robert Plant, Lucinda Williams). Meanwhile, our new gear reviews this month include the Shin-Ei Vibe-Bro, Radial Engineering’s Direct Drive, the Electro-Harmonix Lester G Deluxe, Cusack’s Screamer V2, the Source Audio Aftershock, Chasing Vintage’s Challenger, ESP’s LTD B-1005SE Multi-Scale 5-string bass, Yamaha’s Revstar RSP20CR, Soundshine Electronics’ Magnum Swampus, the EBS Magni 500 MA15, Two-Rock’s Cardiff, and Black Cat’s Monster K-Fuzz.
