    “The day I was meant to leave, I was lying in my bed, paralyzed. I was like, ‘If I’ve got to keep doing these tours, I’m going to end up dead’”: Industrial metal pioneer Justin Broadrick on his punk salvation, Phoebe Bridgers collabs and burying Godflesh (opens the original)

    This interview shouldn’t be happening. He’s pulverized our ears since the mid ’80s in such anvil-heavy operations as Napalm Death and Godflesh – but most media requests to Justin Broadrick, the reclusive godfather of industrial-metal, are met with silence. Forget about Zoom, suggests his press officer, but try emailing a few questions about a catalog whose shuddering highlights have influenced Nine Inch Nails, Metallica and more. Then, suddenly, unexpectedly, we get the word: Broadrick is willin

    “I think the price was down to the ‘cute’ factor of being a little nine-year-old. The poor attorney took pity on me”: Hannah Wicklund on how a blues lawyer got her playing boutique guitars aged 9 – and the weapon she picked to take on Deep Purple and Yes (opens the original)

    Read excerpt

    This month on Bought & Sold, we speak to Hannah Wicklund about her life in guitars. A gigging player since childhood, it wasn't long before she acquired a taste for the finer things on the rack… What was the first serious guitar you bought with your own money? My dad is a painting contractor, but his friend was one of those attorney gear collectors – he literally had a room full of amps and guitars. So we went in halfsies when I was nine years old. I paid $800, my dad paid $800, and I went from

    “I don’t think anyone is anywhere near Ray Davies as a songwriter. He’s the best we’ve ever had. Closely followed by Paul McCartney”: Graham Coxon on his unearthed solo adventures, the challenge of writing for Blur and Damon Albarn’s guitar skills (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Graham Coxon doesn’t usually like to be reminded of his younger self (“I wore a dreadful shirt that day,” he squirms when I tell him that Blur’s seminal 1995 show at Mile End Stadium was this writer’s first teenage gig. “I really regret that shirt”). But he’ll make an exception for Castle Park. Recorded alongside the noisy, angular tracks that became 2012’s A+E – but shelved as his post-Blur career as a musician, visual artist and TV soundtrack composer snowballed – the album is a lovely surpris

    From Hendrix’s pyrotechnics to Cory Wong’s hot-buttered funk, for 72 years the Strat has revolutionized how we play guitar. These are the 25 players who wrote – and burnt – the playbook (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Seven decades since it rolled off the production line in Fullerton, California – and whatever your personal tastes – you’d have to agree that Leo Fender’s deathless doublecut is the quintessential electric guitar. It’s the shape a kid would draw if you handed them a crayon. It’s the model you’d show to a visiting glow-fingered alien curious about humanoid rock ‘n’ roll. To sling a Strat is to experience the ultimate collision of tone and ergonomics. Respect to the Telecaster (born three years ea

    “Even at nearly 80, he was still creative and highly motivated, looking forward to what his next range of guitars might be”: Remembering the late Alan Entwistle – pickups guru, guitar electrics whiz and repairman to the British blues boom (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Recently, we were saddened to learn of the loss of a giant figure in guitar electronics, not to mention an unforgettable character who preferred to bill himself as a ‘tone explorer’ or ‘sonic alchemist’, rather than a sober-minded engineer. “Alan Entwistle – our fearless leader, innovator, guitar and pickup designer, historian, joker, vivid imaginer and very dear friend – has left us,” read the moving Instagram post from James Davies, Entwistle Pickups brand manager and close friend of 35 years.
