THE UNSIGNED BAND’S BIBLE!
BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE UNSIGNED BAND’S BRAND -
Hi Welcome to the latest issue of Playmusic. This month we are thrilled to introduce a brand new column ‘Hot-Guitar Mods’ by our old friend Simon Croft. Simon will be offering tips on how to modify and maintain your electric guitar, explaining how to change your tone by changing pickups switches and pots whilst also showing you how to keep your guitar working at maximum efficiency. Hot-Guitar Mods will also be
accompanied by new online videos that you will be able to find on the Playmusic website, where you can see and hear Simon demonstrating the techniques discussed in the column, along with extra exclusive online extras! If you are fascinated by the notion of tinkering with your axe then Hot-Guitar Mods is definitely for you.
