^ same here. But those figures make sense, i hate TG but can understand why it's popular. GB is probably a bit niche- for example, i only buy, say, computer shopper when I'm thinking of buying a new computer (which is about once every 5 years), and I'm guessing a lot of guitarists do the same with GB.

It's tricky from an advertisers point of view

Guitar Buyer - only 4000 copies sold - but sold to people who are looking for new gear or to keep themselves aware of what is for sale ?
If that were true then it may be a good place to advertise

Guitarist has 31000 - many of them serious players and enthusiasts , but do they buy it for the interviews and lessons or for gear reviews ? Maybe some of each ......

Guitar techniques - 22000 but would an advert appeal to players who may only be focussed on learning songs.

Total Guitar - 41000 - Large readership but wonder if is a demographic who will spend money on repairs and the like

Guitar and Bass - 12000 - a magazine I enjoy a lot and they are based in Croydon, with a fair readership
www.felineguitars.com - repairs & custom built
Great fretwork!

yeah, good point, it's definitely not just as simple as the numbers.

EDIT: guitar and bass gets bonus points from me because it doesn't refuse to ackknowledge the existence of tokai and similar MIJ makes.

Just loacted a copy of Guitar Buyer. Good stuff - I might see how next months is and cancel my Guitarist subscription and buy this one instead.
I think I hate being indecisive.
