@shredi knight: Shawn Hammond from
Premier Guitar, here (I'm the guy who gave the Oscar-worthy sleeping performance in the PG holiday video posted by Brad King above--have you ever seen such realistic snoring?). The big 30-page snafu you experienced with our December issue was an anomaly that happened at our printer and had nothing to do with the quality of our work. And, to our knowledge, it occurred with fewer than 20 copies of the magazine. As Coopster noted above, we will happily replace your issue if you write to our circulation manager, Lois Stodola (
lois@premierguitar.com), and give her your mailing info.
As for our "miss-wording errors," we work our buns off to proof these things well. However, even the finest of publications are run by humans who occasionally miss things. In this case, I will take the heat for the "It's a king of AC/DC thing" error. I was out of town attending my father's funeral and tending to family matters during that issue, and I left a shortchanged and overtaxed staff to pore over a rather huge load of articles. Despite some small errors like that, I'm very pleased with how they pulled the issue off when they were one man down.
Thanks for all the support, everybody! We are listening to you and are striving to take
PG and guitar journalism to greater, more enjoyable and insightful heights.
Happy New Year!
