8. August 2006

2 Comments

When Gibson first hinted at the upcoming release of the Elliot Easton Signature SG – part of their new Inspired By collection – I just about blew a head gasket. Not so much because of the Elliot Easton connection (though I was a huge fan of The Cars when I was a kid,) but because [...]

OK, I’ll admit it… I’m a big fan of guitar gadgets, and when I saw this thing I just knew I had to write about it – and maybe purchase one. Its BOSS’s new ultra-portable Pro Digital Studio, the MICRO-BR. Just a bit bigger than an iPod, its apparently got everything you could want in an [...]

While I’m definitely not what anyone would call a Guns N’ Roses fan, I do appreciate the influence Slash has had on a lot of guitar players, and I think that Gibson’s latest version of the Slash Signature Les Paul is just beautiful in its simplicity, subtle color scheme, and general lack of overt flashiness.

However, there could be a few remaining DNS issues for another day or so. For those wondering why we changed hosts, well, we’d been with DreamHost for over a [...]

I just want to let you all know that we are now moving EGR to a new hosting company… there may be some bumps and bruises along the way, but I expect the site to be back up and running quickly, though DNS propagation could take up to 48 hours. Thanks again for your patience – [...]

Raisin’ Hell: Gretsch Unleashes Reverend Horton Heat Signature G6120

1. August 2006

OK, I thought I’d start this series off with a bang – while I’m guessing that a number of you have never heard of the man (he’s a rather obscure phenomenon,) the Reverend Horton Heat is one of my favorite guitarists of all time. One part rockabilly roots-rocker, one part punk rock madman, the good Rev. [...]
