If you're looking for a great guitar magazine that covers all the topics you're interested in then look no further. Just like my recommendation for the great Musician Friend store I equally recommend for your guitar mag reading pleasure...
1. Classical Guitar Magazine - Full of information for the player, the teacher, the student and the listener. Contains quality writing and photographs. Features interviews; international news; coverage of worldwide guitar events; reviews; guitar history and more...
Here is one of the reviews of this magazine...
"This is for the Classical guitar purist. If you are not totally obsessed with classical guitar, then you might not get that much out of it. Lots of news in the classical guitar world - who's doing what and playing where, guitar competitions being held around the world and entrance requirements, some technique tips and music, and stuff like that. I've been subscribing to it for over 2 years, and although it's sort of pricey, I like reading it. I teach Classical guitar so, of course I like it.
If you are expecting color pictures on the inside, there won't be any. The only pictures in color are on the front and back, and some ads on the inside. All pictures of the guitar gods/goddesses are in black and white and are not very clear (fuzzy). For what a subscription costs it seems they could afford at least one or two color pictures. The interviews and articles are interesting."
2. Fretboard Journal - With each quarterly issue, the Fretboard Journal captures the history, innovation and stories behind the world of guitars, banjos, mandolins and ukuleles. It boasts interviews with some of the most influential figures in the music and musical instrument world and never-before-seen photography...
The Fretboard Journal is another guitar magazine publication like no other: a coffee-table style magazine written specifically for players, collectors, and builders of guitars, banjos, mandolins, and ukuleles. In each quarterly issue, The Fretboard Journal celebrates the innovators of the music world and the tools they use, acoustic and electric, weird and collectible. You'll find famous musicians interviewing other famous musicians about the equipment they use; profiles of some of the world's finest luthiers; and great essays covering the historical context of legendary recordings. With original photography, archival quality paper, and minimal advertising, each issue will be a keepsake you'll cherish.
The Fretboard Journal doesn't review gear or feature instructional pieces; it simply covers the great stories behind musical instruments and musicians. Whether your interest is old-time music or indie rock (or somewhere in between), you'll find something in each eclectic issue specifically for you.
I hope you enjoy these high quality magazines!
