The December 2018 issue of The Guitar Magazine is out now!
It’s our biggest issue in recent history.

And, as usual, there are the usual host of gear reviews. This month, we look at the Roseland valve amp from Bartel, two Xotic solidbodies, Old Blood Noise Endeavors’ Alpha Haunt fuzz box, and MusicNomad’s clever maintenance tools, among others. Get your copy now!
