I get Guitar World Acoustic. It's a pretty good magzine, got the subscription for christmas a few years back. It's not bad. :)

acoustic guitar magazine is great-
I used to get guitar world and it was kinda stupid because each issue either had an article about some nu metal band or another lost interview with SRV or hendrix(which gets really old, really quick).

I get...Guitar player, guitar player acoustic, and the guitar one acoustic, I think it is. Guitar Player is probably the most 'mature' of the big ones.

I just can't bring myself to buy any other ones. I really don't give a fuck what the virtuosos from SLIPKNOT have to say. They get a four page spread, and Warren Haynes gets a little tiny box. It's not right.

I get Guitar World Acoustic. It has some decent interviews with people you actually want to read about. (like Dave) It also has some decent tabs and the technical articles are interesting as well. I've picked up Acoustic Guitar a couple of times but the majority of the articles tend to be about country/folk players. Which is OK if you're into that kind of music.

I don't like how most of the guitar magainzes are set up, or even music magazines (like rolling stone and spin). The only one I like is Guitar World Acoustic. It has good iterviews about the actual music, and with serious non sell out guitar players.

So, get Guitar World Acoustic, it's never let me down.

hmm I can't remember the name of this one off the top of my head, but it's actually a UK magazine. My local Barnes and Noble has a bunch of different guitar magazines from the UK, and I think they're quality is way higher than most of ours. They're a lot more instructional and applicable. Like someone said earlier, I don't care about the vituoso from slipknot and what he likes to eat before a show. I'd rather see something that I can learn from!
