260 PREMIER GUITAR NOVEMBER 2010
NEXT MONTH IN
Premier Gear Awards
We look back fondly on a year of great gear to bring you
the annual Premier Gear Awards. Revisit the guitars, amps,
and effects units that have blown our minds and redefined
how we think about tone in 2010.
Legality in Guitar Design
We’ve all seen clones of classics—and read about the infamous
lawsuits. We investigate the laws, precedents, and loopholes
that govern the world of guitar design.
Bill Kirchen
We interview Titan of the Telecaster Bill Kirchen about writing and recording his hot, twangy new album, Word to the
Wise, which features duets with the likes of Elvis Costello and
Commander Cody. Kirchen details his gear, reveals what he looks
for in a Tele, and describes where he finds sonic inspiration.
New Gear Reviews
Our lineup of gear reviews for the December issue includes
the PRS 305, Koll Tornado, Epiphone Masterbuilt DR-500MCE
acoustic, Diamond Positron head, Orange TH30, Hahn 22
Bass, Emperor 4x12 cabinet, and more.
