We remember the late Peter Green, who emerged among a wave of astounding young British blues guitarists in the ’60s to make a profound musical statement; legendary guitarists pay homage, we offer a list of essential listening, and we speak with Mick Fleetwood about Green’s impact. We also catch up with Bruce Kulick. Respected by peers and loved by fans, he grew up infatuated with the guitar. For the first time, he talks about the death of his brother, Bob, the renowned session/touring guitarist. 

We profile the ’59 Epiphone Crestwood, perhaps the least-known “golden era” Kalamazoo solidbody, and the ’62 Fender Vibrolux – supremely collectible for three reasons! 

We talk new music in exclusive interviews with Vivian Campbell, King Solomon Hicks, Ryan Perry, Jocelyn Gould, Reb Beach, Chris Haskett, and Gavin Rossdale. 

Our gear staffers offer detailed insight on the Gold Tone PBR-D Resonator, Maxon APEX808, Walrus Audio Mako Series D1, Epiphone Les Paul Junior, Orangewood Ava Mahogany, Tech 21 PSA 2.0, Furch Blue Master’s Choice, and the Hallmark Fuzz Blender.
