    Best Amps for the Bucks

    by Joey Leone

    Hello everyone I hope you are all winging your way through guitar heaven. Guess what? It's another list; this time I have listed what I believe to be the best amplifiers for the money. Some may be pricey and not for everyone, but I still believe them to be a good deal.

    Magnatone Mark III Guitar

    Buddy Meets Bigsby

    By Michael Wright, The Different Strummer

    I'm not really an amplifier aficionado. I know that's not politically correct. I tend to like solid state amps because they're clean and let the sound of the guitar through. In fact, my favorite amp is a Polytone Mini Brute. It's like 14" cubed, easy to carry, and loud as hell. If I want to sound nasty, I punch in an old Rat, etc. But one thing I am a sucker for is the True Vibrato found on 1950s Magnatone amps.

    Making a Guitar Living

    Making a Guitar Living

    Kirk Lorange

    I've been earning a living with my guitars now for thirty odd years. I did a stint as a commercial artist for a couple of years when I finished high school -- I say commercial artist, what I mean is I worked in a commercial art studio learning the ins and outs -- but after a couple of guitar playing jobs I decided to focus on music as a career.

    Life in Guitarland

    Life in Guitarland

    By Larry Payne

    (continued from Part 1) Word had it that our beautiful "V" had been sold to a buyer somewhere down in Texas. But since it was obviously too special to be shipped, his plan was to drive out to the coast and pick it up. We never saw it leave the shop, nor could we have handled seeing it go. But a week or so later the shop manager told us the news. He made the report with an "ouch" of a smile that said all too clearly, "Easy come, easy go."
