    Default Come on MusicRadar

    One of MusicRadar's 12 of the best new guitar gear from NAMM 2013 is that fkn Fender mandolin. REALLY?! I may well cancel my subscription to Guitarist.

    Was the NAMM pickings really that slim to have to beef out the article with a mandolin?

    Could have been worse, I mean they could have put something really daft in there like, I dunno, a valve tester or something.

    Oh snap! I don't know, I think that NAMM was a definitely on the weak side, I only found the Magnatones amp revival interesting to say the least. But hey, you pick and choose.

    You need to take them seriously. Apparently most of the world will be speaking Mandolin in a few years.
