Dominic Hilton is the name I remember too.
I didn't read every months and only saw one of the installments I think. I'm pretty sure it said it would be a purple metal flake finish.
I think I bought my first copy in 1987 or so, aged 14.......... the only place to find gear info and rock lessons! I loved the Phil Hilbourne stuff, but the bits that were most useful were the Nick Bowcott `in the style of`. 20 or 30 licks in the style of a player, but not an exact copy, and for copyright reasons they didn`t tell you which songs the inspiration came from, so you had to actually listen to the original artist and work it out. And of course no audio to go along with it with the mag!
I still firmly believe that this helped players develop their own style much better than the instant access to note for note stuff we have today. Maybe I`m just old!
No idea on the double cut I`m afraid.........
this is what i remember... It was another way the supersonic was similar with its blue flake

When I worked in Dudley social services I had to cover duty for another team for a day and ended up visiting this guy who was a hoarder. Quite financially well off man who had lived with his mother all his life and when she died he became depressed and largely gave up caring about anything. His house was full of junk, he would piss on the floor, he would threaten the carers that went in to see him, hardly ate and would get drunk. He had been an engineer and had a workshop out the back of his house with top notch equipment and he kept all of that pristine, he would visit his neighbours and do odd jobs and was very IT literate and would help them sort out internet problems. Very odd man. In the middle of all the junk were two what I think were USA strats, for a brief moment I wondered if he could possibly notice if they went off with me - although should I have been successful in stealing off this man with obvious mental health issues I feel I would have needed to have spent a long time cleaning them.
In my defence it was only a passing thought but when you are spending your day in stinky houses you do start wondering 'what am I getting out of this.' I think the moral of this @Philly_Q is the clutter with the magazines and the guitars is okay but when you start pissing on the floor maybe get some help.

I bought a Squier Super-Sonic, just like that one. Blimey, 23 years ago.
What the hell was that Gary Moore story about? I don't remember him doing a pop album. Hard to imagine Guitarist putting "blues is dead" on the cover nowadays, half the readership would drop down dead.
