4.52am Issue: 011 4th December 2016

WELCOME
Welcome to Issue 010
Well, as I write this it is Black Friday, Amazon
are killing the Guitar Retail Industry with the
cheap Gibsons they couldn’t sell last Black
Friday and if things seem too good to be true,
they usually are.
theFretBoard is a forum for guitarists, and the occasional bassist.
It’s run by guitarists, for guitarists, and covers just about all the “stuff” that interests
guitarists, including guitars (!), amps, fx, learning, playing, buying, selling and anything
else that comes to the minds of thousands of guitarists every day.
Or so conventional wisdom would have you
believe, but then there is nothing conventional
here and precious little wisdom as I introduce
you to issue Ten of 4.52am, the Free, Weekly,
Like-Nothing-Else magazine that, frankly, has
gone a little mad in the readership
department.
It’s completely free to read and free to join – membership allows readers to see
additional areas of the forum which aren’t visible to non-members, to start their own
discussions and post their own comments.
But enough already, this week we have the
Levellers 25 years on from the Battle of the
Beanfield, the hauntingly beautiful Gabrielle
Cohen, and as everybody is talking Westworld,
we are taking the chance to check out the
horrendously undervalued Theatre of Hate.
Best of all, there are NO ADVERTS.
Join the UK’s busiest, most interesting and most diverse guitar related forum for free
(did we mention that it’s free?) at theFretBoard.co.uk.
Now.
As for guitar proper, we have the uber
talented Lady Jo Bear, who paints guitars with
style, beauty and grace, and a home straight
sprint for Sue Foley and her Kickstarter
shenanigans oh, there is even something new
with a guitar build from the 4.52am sheltered
house. It’s all go.
