Vintage Guitar magazine's new format

Newark St. Guild ad in Vintage Guitar magazine

A friend of mine recycles his old Vintage Guitar magazines to me, and while I was enjoying the new format, which is more magazine sized and without the newsprint paper inside, what I most enjoyed seeing was the full-page ad for the Newark Street Guilds in the July 2013 issue.

What chord is that guy playing?

Agreed, nice ad!

I guess I am just a creature of habit, I liked the old format and do not really care for the new, all glossy or not. It used to be sort of the Shotgun News of guitar magazines...

Liked the ad...though the kid should either grow a beard or shave in the morning...damn I'm old... ={

What chord is that guy playing?

Maybe it's the "I'm just a model, and don't play guitar" chord?

And plays his new guitar in a jacket with big metal buttons?

Funny, that was my first thought, too! Lose the jacket.

HAAAAAAAA HAAAAAAAAAA!! I'm with ya, Bill. In your thinking AND in being old...... :grumpy:

That's probably the best beard a guy of that age can grow!

I think he's bending a "blues note" as opposed to playing a chord.

Bending a C# on the third string? His jacket buttons are making some buckle rash to add to the mojo of the guitar - so "lots of mojo" can be on the eBay ad! ...
