Premier Guitar Current Issue &bull Yesterday
There's a great line in the classic '80s movie Revenge of the Nerds when Poindexter, in a cannabis-assisted moment of clarity, asks the question, "Would you rather live in the ascendency of a civilization or during its decline?"

I ask because this month is my annual report on the State of Bass: the trends, the upswings, downswings, and the overall current situation of the… Full Story »

Most of the time, it's simply the sound of the familiar voice. There have been a handful of guitarists across the musical spectrum possessing a similar unmistakable identity in their playing: Jimi Hendrix,… Full Story »

Fender Reintroduces Pure Nickel and Nickel-Plated Steel Electric Guitar Strings
Premier Guitar Current Issue &bull Yesterday
Many guitarists are on a never-ending quest for the ultimate tone. Typically, the first thing that a player will think is that a different guitar, amp, pickups, or maybe a new stompbox will do the trick. But it's often the small things that go overlooked, and sometimes it's these small things that can make a huge difference in tone and performance. One of the most frequently overlooked accessories is the string! If you think about it, the string is a crucial tool to a guitar player. The string is the physical connection between the player and their instrument. Players should… Full Story »

Epiphone Worn 1966 Wilshire Electric Guitar Review
Premier Guitar Current Issue &bull Mar 5, 2010
Radios Appear The first thing that popped into my head after flipping open the case of the Worn 1966 Wilshire was the image of the Australian band Radio Birdman's debut LP Radios Appear (Trafalgar, 1977). Front and center was the guitar player, coolly holding an Epiphone Wilshire. Almost immediately, songs came pouring forth from my memory: "Man with Golden Helmet," "Descent into the Maelstrom," and the underground punk classic, "Aloha Steve and Danno," with the obligatory searing rendition of the Hawaii 5-0 theme appearing as the middle eighth.… Full Story »
