Fave guitar magazine?

I occasionally pick up Guitar World at the airport while waiting for a flight, but that's about it these days. Why? Because it's the only thing they have there that I am interested in and I can digest an entire edition on one cross-country flight.

Do you guys still read guitar mags?

If so, which one do you like, and why?

I used to subscribe to Guitar Player and Acoustic Guitar. And would buy an occasional Guitar World. First subscription I gave up was Acoustic Guitar and then eventually Guitar Player. Acoustic World was simply not doing it for me anymore...... even though I consider myself an acoustic player rather than electric. Always liked Guitar Player better than Guitar World.... till they got purchased, if memory serves....by the same group that owns Guitar World. New owners fired Michael Molenda who'd been editor for over a decade. The magazine immediately sucked after he left and when my subscription ran out, I did not renew. Same thing happened with Car and Driver. Always liked it better than Motor Trend. Then after David E. Davis Jr. left or was pushed out..... the quality of the magazine went downhill. Did not renew that subscription either.

Ditto that!
 
I really liked Vintage Guitar. The articles were always good, as well as the photos. There were always good tech articles, and the large page format made for better eye candy. I let my subscription lapse when they went online only. I think they are back in print, but have been too lazy to confirm for sure. In the meantime, I have about fifteen years of back issues to flip through when I have spare (ha ha ha ha) time.
