Grant Mickelson for Tone Pros on Vintage Guitar Magazine

I would suggest you pick up a copy of Vintage Guitar Magazine for February 2011. Grant Mickelson, the amazing guitar player for Taylor Swift’s own band The Agency, is featured on a full page ad for TonePros on the first page (not the cover, you need to open the magazine). It’s quite a large magazine, so this is the best I could do with my scanner.

Grant Mickelson is a Nashville, Tennessee, based country, rock and jazz musician who specializes in electric and acoustic guitar. He also sings and plays mandolin.  He’s originally from Iowa, You can read more about him on his Agency Profile: Grant Mickelson.

I couldn’t work it into the scan, but the original photo is credited to Austin K. Swift. That’s Taylor’s brother (as if you don’t know) who often works as the tour photographer.

These are the ad’s contents:
