We continue to mark the 75th anniversary of the Tele, this time with a survey of “7 Heretics of the Telecaster” – players who altered the instrument and adapted the way it’s used. We also excerpt Telecaster 75 Years, the new book by longtime VG contributor Dave Hunter.
Dave Hunter tells why the WEM Westminster 15 a prime example of the company’s offerings from the ’70s.
Peter Stuart Kohman concludes his exploration of the “The Last Days of Danelectro.” The instruments may not be as well-known as Shorthorns, Longhorns, and Amp-in-Case Silvertones, but they’re every bit as interesting.
In “Classics,” we introduce you to a refinished ’59 Strat with a great story to tell. Some of its questions remain unanswered.
Stopping by to talk new music are Ray Benson, Jon Butcher, Marcus King, Ana Popovic, and Zac Schulze. Reeves Gabrels digs into the details on his latest Reverend signature guitar.
In “Pop ’N Hiss,” we recount the swagger of Foghat’s Fool for the City LP, and Wolf Marshall expounds on the influence of The Jimi Hendrix Experience’s Axis: Bold as Love.
Our “Hit List” review staff screens the latest new music from The Who, Asleep at the Wheel, Warren Haynes, Sly & The Family Stone, Marcus King, and more.
In “Approved Gear,” we test the Fender Ultra Luxe Stratocaster, Earthquaker Easy Listening, Blackstar IDX, and the Reverend Reeves Gabrels Spacehawk Supreme.
It’s all in the November issue!
