Vintage Guitar is by far my favorite guitar magazine, partially because its focus is unabashedly on the gear and history of the gear which to me is fascinating.
Very good article above, that was actually my very first issue from my subscription.
Less impressive was the article from this months (maybe March 11 issue? they run a couple months ahead) on the S-100NB Standard Carved, which dsipte being lsited as "wel-built" and having "pickups held in high regard by enthusiasts" was dismissed as an out of place and poorly timed instrument with limited appeal. Although it appears they consulted Hans, they really seemed to botch their history on a guitar we hold in high esteem... ah well. May fire up another post on that.
