What time is it? It's Fender Time.

It wasn't until late 2008 that I found out about VG magazine and I subscribed right away.Vintage Guitar is definitely the best guitar orientated magazine available today. Guitar Player and Premier Guitar are also great guitar mags.Guitar World used to be a great magazine but they have changed their format to appeal to the mid-teen metal-heads.When you see a magazine with a proliferation of photos of grown men-often middle aged-wearing masks and gothic costumes, grimacing with their mouths open as wide as possible and their tongues stuck out as if they just bit into a turd sandwich-you can be assured that the target reader base is largely metal-obsessed teens.GW is also one of the very few magazines that doesn't delete profanities-not that I'm a prude,I can spew out multi-syllable whoppers that would make a pirate blush-but there are people who read these mags who are too young or just take offence to reading obscenities.

There are also a lot of British guitar and music magazines that are quite good but they're not always available here and the subscription rate for U.S./Canada is prohibitive.Mojo is a great music industry magazine and every issue has a CD that often contains some fabulous alternative music from bands we never hear of on this side of the pond.

BTW: I took pix of my prizes and will post when my buddy Blinkers can give me a hand.
