Premier Guitar May 2012: Whether you’re a fan of delectable power pop, jaw-dropping old-school shredding, or all-out power-metal wailing, this month’s artist features have you covered. Our cover story finds shred gods Steve Morse and Dave LaRue detailing their stereotype-busting new supergroup with former Dream Theater drummer Mike Portnoy. We also talk to DragonForce’s Herman Li and Sam Totman, as well as jangle-pop judo master Matthew Caws from Nada Surf. Just in time for the warmer weather, Last Call columnist John Bohlinger serves up his top 10 tips for summer gigging, and we also talk to Kyle Chase-possibly the world’s most OCD builder of new-old-stock amps and effects. Reviews this month include the Fender Johnny Marr Signature Jaguar, Warwick Jack Bruce Survivor signature bass, Vox DelayLab, Fargen Retro, Blueridge Jumbo acoustic, EBS Reidmar bass head and cabs, Reverend Pete Anderson Eastsider S, Source Audio Programmable EQ, Laney Ironheart IRT120H head, and Larry Alan Infinity Driver.

Welcome to our annual Amp Issue! In addition to great interviews with players like Robert Randolph, John Scofield, the Stooges’ James Williamson, and Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz, Patrick Stump, and Joe Trohman, in this issue we dive into all sorts of amplifier awesomeness. First off, for those of you who’ve always wondered exactly how a tube amp works, we break it down into simple, easy-to-understand concepts using a vintage Vox AC4 as an example. And, since your speakers have such a big impact on your tone, we also bring you a step-by-step DIY project on how to correctly replace speakers in your combo or extension cab. And for those who can’t get enough of vintage amps, Ask Amp Man blogger Jeff Bober from East Amplification takes us on a tour of the North American Guitar Amplifier Museum-a veritable candy store full of Marshalls, Fenders, Hiwatts, Ampegs, Voxes, and other rare amps. Our gear reviews this month include the Charvel Desolation DX1-ST, Cole Clark Angel, Z.Vex Fat Fuzz Factory, Jaguar HC50, Epifani AL 112, EarthQuaker Devices Disaster Transport SR, Nordstrand Shush Puppies, and the Electro-Harmonix Epitome.

Premier Guitar January 2012: We begin the new year with an excerpt from Craig Hopkins’ new book, Stevie Ray Vaughan: Day by Day, Night After Night – His Final Years, 1983-1990 [Backbeat Books]-which features never-before-seen pics of the Strat god and his gear. We also talk to jazz legend George Benson about his new album, Guitar Man, the Roots’ “Captain” Kirk Douglas about spearheading a soul-music resurgence, and quirky bluesman Oz Noy about his latest outing. Our cover story is a profile of Teuffel Guitars’ Uli Teuffel-a meticulous post-modern luthier whose designs are as headturning as they are controversial. We also hear the story of how one instrument collector scoured the internet to track down the first Steinberger bass prototype-which has been missing for more than 35 years. Gear reviews this month include the Fender Eric Clapton Twinolux amp, Larrivée Bakersfield, Aguilar Tone Hammer 500 head and SL 112 cab, Martin 000-15 12-fret, four Red Witch Seven Sisters pedals (with the other three available as web-exclusive reviews), Brubaker JJX-4 bass, Schecter Hellraiser Solo-6 E/A, Orbit Psychoplex Deluxe, Ampeg GVT52-112 guitar combo, and CEC Amplification Toll-Free Express head.
