Editor’s Highlights

Guitarist

Pocket Plexi • Friedman Amplification is known for its boutique hot-rod all-valve amp tone, so what can this affordable solid-state alternative bring to the party?

FRIEDMAN BE-MINI HEAD

Nineties Style • Fender has treated some of its most iconic guitar models to a new, stripped-down format that turns them into lean, mean rocking machines

FENDER NOVENTA TELECASTER

FENDER NOVENTA STRATOCASTER

Deluxe Addition • The 70s are back, at least that’s what Gibson would like us to think with its new era-inspired, mini-humbucker-loaded Les Paul. But does it do justice to the original Deluxe?

VINTAGE VS MODERN • It might be far from a reissue, but how does the new Deluxe compare with an early 70s example?

UNDER THE HOOD • What’s happening inside the Deluxe?

STAR LETTER

Feedback • Your letters to the Guitarist editor. Drop us a line at guitarist@futurenet.com

TROY REDFERN • A musical awakening courtesy of that famous sequence in Back To The Future led to a lifelong interest in country blues, National Resonators and gnarly, fuzzed-up slide guitar…

NATIONAL TRUST • Take a close-up look at Troy’s gear…

60 YEARS OF THE SG • Its sharp horns seemed to belong to the Devil’s orchestra, not the polite jazz scene of the early 60s. As a statement of intent, the SG’s radical styling succeeded – but maybe not as first intended. The design was swiftly disowned by Les Paul, though it was supposed to be his signature instrument. Rejected by its patron, the SG grew up in the shadow of its iconic sibling, the Les Paul Standard, becoming the anti-hero’s tool of choice from Angus and Iommi onwards...

GIBSON SG HISTORY: THE FIRST TWO DECADES • At the tail-end of the 1950s, Fender’s Stratocaster was reigning supreme over the electric-guitar market while sales of Gibson’s single-cut Les Paul were heading south.
