Guitar Player Magazine Halts Publication, Puts Out One Last Print Edition After 58-Year Run


Guitar Player magazine has ceased monthly publication after nearly 58 years, with the final print issue hitting newsstands this month.

Guitar Player will halt publication after almost 58 years, putting out one last issue on Oct. 15, with an interview with Led Zeppelin’s Jimmy Page as the final cover story to hit newsstands. What founder Bud Eastman began laid the first stone of an empire that would go on to launch many other magazines — including Bass Player, Frets and Keyboard — publish books, release records and videos, and much more. In 2007 it was acquired by NewBay Media in New York, where it joined a portfolio of magazines that included Bass Player, Electronic Musician, Keyboard, Mix and Guitar World.
