Guitar & Bass Magazine June 2012

In the Issue:
There was a time when Gibson Les Pauls as we know them stopped being made. Yes, it’s true. Find out why in this month’s issue, and how some very famous players led the charge to get these legendary instruments brought back from the wilderness. And among the reviews this month are some fine offerings from the likes of Fender, Washburm, Orange and Hagstrom, whilst such top-notch players as Eric Johnson and Frank White spend some quality G&B time telling us their thoughts.
