Whether he’s got an electric or an acoustic in his hand, there’s no denying the impact that Slash has had on guitar music over the last two decades. In this month’s Acoustic we talk to the man himself about GN’R Lies, writing and recording on an acoustic, creating hybrid guitars with Guild, and touring the UK. Since we’ve been back from flying the Acoustic Magazine flag at the 2013 NAMM show, we have been busy picking our top 50 gear highlights from the year’s biggest, annual music instruments trade show. We found some wonderful and wacky products, all coming your way in 2013, which we’ve listed in our review. When we weren’t on the other side of the world, we were playing the new Lowden F35 fanned-fret! We put that slanty fretboard through its paces, but is it worth the best part of £5k? Elsewhere, we’ve got interviews with Old Crow Medicine Show, Kris Kristofferson, Daughter, and Little Green Cars. Gear this month comes from Lowden, Takamine, LAG, Brook and Tanglewood.
