Now there is a Guitar Aficionado Magazine

I can just imagine equipment reviews like this

"Paul Reed Smith Steve Albini Signature Snorkeldick Model Electric Guitar

The medium body of this guitar's tone was felt right away and the creaminess soon followed. The clean sound was mostly full of body and earthiness.Add a little overdrive and the crunchiness came on stronger with some of the bitter-sweet notes of chocolate and anise soon to arrive."

Wow....just wow. Things like this really make me worry about society and the ways people measure high achievement.

Do they have a message board or a forum?

We need to declare war. This could be the event that unites the forums.

+1, but I htink theres some rich folk at OSG who would object. And then they would tell us they were middle class.

God I hope they have a forum, please please please please let hem have a forum. With an automated approval system so I can make aliases.

If It had good pictures and coverage on archtops I would totally buy it or at least oggle it at B&N.

There are some archtops that are a work of art and need to be appreciated in that space, since most people including myself are not gonna drop 25k on an archtop. The best magazine when it comes to guitar is already the sort of uppity Vintage Guitar Magazine, best pictures and articles by far of any current guitar mag. This will probably also focus on modern stuff and right now there is an abundance of fancy high dollar and well made boutique guitars.

why have they posted the marketing company's presentation points up on the web? that's what that page is. not only laughable for its jargon, but the completely crass idea behind the whole thing.

Absolutely. When I'm nerding out over guitar pictures it's the minimal looking archtops that always do the most for me. These pics aren't a particularly great example but I came across them earlier today so I'll post them anyway.
