In this month's Q we celebrate the world's greatest axe-men, eight of whom were photographed exclusively for the cover by top rock snapper Ross Halfin.
Here we present alternate shots of our esteemed cover stars - The Edge, Jack White, Jimmy Page, Johnny Marr, Slash, Matt Bellamy, Dave Grohl and Joe Perry - which, for whatever reason, didn't make the cover.
To read interviews with all of the above guitar gods - plus the 20 Greatest Guitar Tracks Of All Time, as selected by an all-star cast - see the new issue of Q magazine, on sale 1 August. For more of Ross Halfin's photography see www.rosshalfin.co.uk
