Happy Friday, everyone....have something interesting for you today. Before I go any further, let me say that Guitar World is no stranger to mistakes over the years--I mean, what other rock guitar magazine could possibly spell "Stairway to Heaven" wrong on one of its covers? ("Stariway to Heaven"...click here to see that classic, embarrassing 1996 cover.)

Anyway, with our May 2008 issue we celebrated our 300th issue anniversary, and we took that opportunity to put small versions of every Guitar World cover inside that issue, and also instituted the Guitar World covers gallery as a way of keeping every one of our covers on display on guitarworld.com at all times.

So imagine our surprise when a longtime staff member realized that one cover was missing! Turns out, back in April 1988, we did what we call a split cover...half of the covers had George Lynch on them, and the other half had a different cover altogether.
