Meet the Formula 1 engineer who started his own boutique tube amp brand, Woodfield: “The way I look at the amplifier, it’s an instrument. It’s as important as your guitar” (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You could hardly have two higher-performance careers than being an engineer in the RAF and then Formula 1. But Mark Woodward, founder and designer of Woodfield amps, did both – and when he was done with them, he started making amps. “It was always just a background hobby – a fascination with valve tech,” Mark says of his passion for amps, which he sustained even while working within the highly pressured world of an F1 test team. “But towards the end of my time working in F1, I started to get mor
“A musician serves an intention, a continuum, a storytelling… You need to be listening carefully to what you play”: The quintessentially French, impossibility brilliant Pierre Bensusan on the freedom of DADGAD and unpredictable magic of performance (opens the original)

Fingerstyle acoustic guitar is a hard game. It’s possibly the most exposed, intricate form of guitar to perform in front of an audience. There’s no safety net, no band to carry some of the weight of expectation or mask mistakes. So it’s unsurprising that Pierre Bensusan has spent a fair bit of time thinking about the deep questions of what connects a guitarist to an audience and what conjures magic from the thin air of solo performance. Half a century on from the start of his career with the bri
“He bought it on a trip with Noel Gallagher, a day or two after they first met. Johnny said, ‘Let’s go for a sandwich. Never buy guitars on an empty stomach”: Johnny Marr’s most iconic guitars, the stories behind them – and why he’s selling them now (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The sale of a great player’s guitar collection is sometimes lamented by fans, however, it’s something we are seeing more often as celebrated musicians reflect on the road travelled and the road yet to come. As a player always ready to embrace the future, Marr is clearly no servant to his own backstory. But why is he choosing to sell some of the most important guitars, amps and even the gold and platinum discs that he’s picked up over the years? “He found the process of writing and publishing the
“It was not about making a copy of somebody else’s guitar. It was about improving the guitar in general”: Petr Furch on 45 years of acoustic guitar innovation – and the challenge to make his guitars better (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Just outside the Czech city of Brno, known for its motor racing circuit, there are rolling fields and orchards dotted with hamlets and canals. Pulling up to the white stone frontage of an old mill in the village of Velké Němčice, you might think we were about to enter some artisanal throwback to a hand-crafted past. But a quick look around inside tells another story. Five-axis robots cut precision neck joints, while humidity is micro-controlled in different areas of Furch’s factory to optimise t
“This guy dutifully opened the case. I can still smell it. It was this otherworldly object, like something out of Raiders of the Lost Ark”: Johnny Marr on the guitars he’s loved and is about to lose at auction – and the one that started it all (opens the original)

Johnny Marr woke up last night in a cold sweat. “I had a bit of a 3am attack of the ‘oh-my-Gods’,” he tells Guitarist. But there’s no need to ask the 62-year-old the cause of his palpitations. On 17 September, the indie-rock legend will follow the biggest names in blue-chip rock ’n’ roll – David Gilmour, Mark Knopfler, Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton – and auction off his four-decade guitar collection at Christie’s of London. For a player whose instruments have so often seemed like an extension of his a
