COVER STORY

KEITH RICHARDS – COVER STORY

Jagger may have the moves, but no single man epitomises the spirit of rock‘n’roll like Keef. At 68, the man can still tie a bandana around his head, pull on a Strat and look effortlessly cool. Australian Guitar’s Andrew P Street looks back on the life of a man of wealth and taste.

LAMB OF GOD

Australian Guitar’s Paul Southwell gets tech-crazy with Lamb Of God’s Mark Morton and talks mesa boogies, writing on the road and stealing rig ideas from Metallica.

SLASH

Second only to Mr. Abe Lincoln in the iconic top hat category, the legendary Guns N’ Roses axeman parts his curly black mop to chat to Australian Guitar’s Craig White about incorporating film themes into solos, his new live DVD and wanting Thom Yorke to front his band.

GUITAR SHOOTOUT

Prepare yourselves for part two of Australia’s biggest ever guitar shootout! In the last issue we checked out 22 guitars with street prices ranging from $700 to $1150. This time we put 20 of the pricier guitars to the test to find out if you really do get what you pay for. How will the Fenders and Jacksons fair against the champion from last edition?
