Default Anybody stopped receiving Wood and Steel?

The newest thread about Russ (KoaGuitarMan) got me thinking...I don't think I've gotten a new Wood and Steel magazine in quite a while. I just checked Taylor's website, and sure enough, the last one I received was in Fall 2016.

Anyone else stopped getting their magazine without cancelling?

Mine showed up yesterday. They come fairly far apart these days. Didn't they used to be quarterly? Maybe semi-annual now?

They've always been quarterly, but I've not gotten one in a year.

Guitar Porn.

They're hit and miss. I glance at them then toss them.

Mine arrived today. With all the Taylors I've purchased lately, Andy Powers should read it to me on Skype....

I quit receiving them about 10-12 months ago despite having 5 instruments registered with them. Prior to that I had them from the beginning. Must of made them mad.

I got them regularly after registering a guitar with them. Now it seems more sporadic.

They are quarterly publications.

Now that I think about it, ever since I bought my Taylor in 1999, every interaction I've had with that company has left me with a negative impression. Sort of, "You're on your own buddy - unless you want to buy a new guitar!"

Others possibly have had a different impression, but that has been mine.
