Guitarist magazine celebrates its 25th Anniversary this issue with a special collector's edition, on sale now.
The bumper magazine comes in a special wallet, containing a stunning fold-out cover featuring some of best gear of the last 25 years. Want to see how they did the cover? Check out this behind-the-scenes video:
The cover feature is The 100 Greatest Guitar Things Of The Last 25 Years – a massive 18-page celebration of gear, artists, albums and more. Over the course of the week, on the Guitarist Blog and on Musicradar, members of the team have been picking their personal favourite guitar things, but here's the second teaser of what made the official final 100 in the magazine…
10 things from the list
91. Derek Trucks
Slide has a new hero
With his Gibson SG and endlessly inventive licks, Trucks emerged in 1997 to carry the torch lit by Duane Allman into the realms of blues, gospel and world music.
86. Epiphone Les Paul
The sort-of real deal
Make no bones about it, a proper, full-fat Gibson Les Paul is ruddy expensive for your average teenage guitar-slinger. Thank heavens then for Epiphone, which since 1988 has offered an affordable yet quality alternative for budding Jimmy Pages.
