$0.99Twice a year we bring you a slew of guitar-modding projects to sate your DIY appetite. This time around we’ve got an entry-level piece on the dos and don’ts of building a parts guitar, a how-to on optimizing acoustic and electric guitar for lap-slide playing, and experimental builder Yuri Landman’s drone-guitar project for former Sonic Youth axe man Thurston Moore. Plus, we also have our usual gallery of readers’ DIY projects! In our artist section this month we climb aboard the Axes & Anchors rock cruise—which boasts performances by Yngwie Malmsteen, Zakk Wylde, Marty Friedman, Alex Skolnick, Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal, and more—to take you behind the scenes on perhaps the most shredding boat ride ever. We also talk to Adam Hann from up-and-coming British neo-New Wave outfit the 1975, American Primitive acoustic guitarist Glenn Jones, and acclaimed Malian songwriter/guitarist/multi-instrumentalist Rokia Traoré. As for gear, our 13 reviews include two cool new reissues—Hagstrom’s Impala, and the Boss VB-2W Waza Craft Vibrato—T-Rex’s remarkable new Replicator tape delay, Vintage’s Jerry Donahue signature T-style guitar, Blackstar’s Artist 15, the Henriksen Bud amp, Line 6’s Helix multi-effector, and the Eastwood Surfcaster bass. We also take a look at unusual gadgets that really deliver—sometimes even saving the day.

$0.99Premier Guitar May 2018: Our annual DIY issue serves up a massive feature detailing our recommended mods for four famously affordable instruments—three 6-strings and a bass—that serve as excellent platforms for getting a “custom” axe at a price way lower than a luthier-built alternative. Meanwhile, our interview lineup sees us chatting with Aerosmith legend Joe Perry, Bones guitarist (and Jeff Beck collaborator) Carmen Vandenberg, avant-jazz vet Bill Frisell, Corrosion of Conformity’s Pepper Keenan and Woody Weatherman, and acoustic trooper John Prine. Gear reviews this month include comprehensive looks at Dr. Z’s Z-PLUS combo, Tech 21’s GED-2112 Geddy Lee SansAmp, the Pigtronix Mothership 2, Universal Audio’s OX, the Modulus Graphite Funk Unlimited RevOLite 4, Magnetic Effects’ Midphoria, Darkglass Electronics’ Alpha•Omicron, the Koll Super Cub, Massive Effects’ G.O.A.F., Schuyler Dean’s Jazzmaster Gold Foil pickups, the Gamechanger Audio Plus pedal, Subdecay’s Vector, and the Fender CN-60S nylon-string.

$0.99Whether you’re completely turned off by fuzz pedals or just brand-new to and overwhelmed by them, this month’s cover story demystifies this sometimes-confusing stompbox niche and explains how the right fuzz can stoke inspiration in any genre imaginable. On the artist front, we’ve got interviews with Wendy Melvoin (from the late great Prince’s band the Revolution), Metalocalypse mastermind Brendon Small, and bluesman Jonny Lang. We’ve also got a feature offering an insider’s perspective on recording guitar for film and TV soundtracks, as well as a primer on both how to play slide guitar, and the pros and cons of different slide types. Song transcriptions this month (print only) are Pink Floyd’s “Comfortably Numb,” Mastodon’s “Curl of the Burl,” and Fleetwood Mac’s “Oh Well (Part 1).” Meanwhile our gear-review section deep-dives on the Coppersound Foxcatcher, Guitar Pro 7, Outlaw Effects’ Deputy Marshal, Korg’s AW-LT100B bass tuner, the Headrush Pedalboard, Ashdown’s SZ Funk Face, Bigfoot Engineering’s King Fuzz XL, the Boss Acoustic Singer Live combo, the MOD Duo, Pinter’s SB1-J Jazz Jr., Allen Eden’s Disciple 5 bass, and the Keeley Compressor Plus.
