Testimonials
"I was on vacation and wanted some guitar-related reading so I went to the store and picked up a copy of Guitarist. I gotta say, you guys have done a wonderful job: what a beautiful magazine. So well done, the DVD is amazing... I'm just gushing!"
Keith Selbee, US reader
"I just want to say a huge thank you to the team. Why? I just played my first ever gig at the age of 34, and thanks to all the tips and hints I've read over the years in your great mag, it went perfectly"
Steve Finn, UK reader
"Speaking of the new format, I absolutely love it. It has really added value for me in all areas and is now by far the most informative guitar magazine that I have come across. In my view you have made quality changes without losing your “classic design” that has made you successful thus far. It is the same “classic design” but upgraded with better quality pickups, more stable tuners and a good fret dress."
Werner Carstens, South Africa reader
