FROM THE EDITOR

Guitar Player

MADE IN THE SHADE • The Gibson Custom Shop created just 59 examples of the Jason Isbell “Red Eye” 1959 Les Paul Standard. We got our hands on one of them.

MAN AT WORK • A juke joint just wasn’t in the cards. So Cedric Burnside turned the old building into a studio for his hardcore blues workout, Hill Country Love.

TIPSHEET • We asked Brian Ray for his advice on playing Beatles tunes. After all, he learned from the best.

MY CAREER IN FIVE SONGS • Joe Walsh’s Jazzmaster, Billy Cobham’s bass line… As Bush head out on tour, Gavin Rossdale reveals the history behind a handful of their best tunes

Pickup Artist • With its Wide Range humbuckers, the 1970s Fender Telecaster Thinline scores better than most of its contemporaries.

Sol Salvation • The genius of Sol Hoopii is preserved in 16 timeless cuts on Master of the Hawaiian Guitar.

DOUG GILLARD IS INDISPENSABLE • His six-string genius has proved vital to the music of Guided by Voices, Nada Surf and other indie-rock favorites. But all he really wants is to make good music.

‘I’M 100 PERCENT HAPPY WITH THE WORK I’VE DONE WITH PINK FLOYD. BUT… ‘MY FOCUS IS DIFFERENT RIGHT NOW’ • Leading a rock group and being a solo artist were “not what I asked for,” David Gilmour says. For Luck and Strange, he assembled a team that shared the weight of his creative efforts. The result? “The best album I’ve made since The Dark Side of the Moon.”

GILMOUR’S GALLERY OF GREATS

SHINE ON! • 18 guitarists (and one producer) weigh in on what makes Gilmour great.

THE BEAT GOES ON • Together with Tony Levin, Adrian Belew and Steve Vai join forces for a Robert Fripp–endorsed revival of King Crimson’s groundbreaking 1980s music.

‘A REALLY UGLY STRAT HANGING ON THE WALL’ • It wasn’t pretty, but Adrian Belew used his second-hand beat-to-hell Fender Strat to perform with everyone from Zappa and Bowie to Talking Heads and King Crimson.

TRANSCENDENT MAN • Luther Dickinson interpreted a priceless work of art in music. In the process, the blues guitarist wrote his own next chapter.

BUM RUSH • Luther Dickson and J.D. Simo turn in booty-shaking blues workouts on their first-ever collaboration, Do the Rump.

MASTER OF HIS OWN JOURNEY • For more than 50 years, David Lindley graced albums and concert stages with his singular talent on a vast range of stringed instruments. In this Guitar Player exclusive, his musical friends — including Jackson Browne, Ry Cooder and Bonnie Raitt — pay tribute to an original.

CERTIFIED GREATNESS • Fingerstyle master Tommy Emmanuel combines unique musical instincts and breathtaking technique to become an acoustic tour de force.

Dobro 101 • A look at the iconic bluegrass slide box.

EPIPHONE • Inspired by Gibson Custom 1963 Firebird V and 1959 ES-355

PRS • SE NF3

CORT • Sol Encanto classical cutaway acoustic-electric

UAFX • Brigade Chorus and Vibrato, and Flow Vintage Tremolo

THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING

“Locomotive Breath” • Ian Anderson reveals his train of thought behind Jethro Tull’s 1971 classic.
