To Budda Or Not To Budda, That Is the Question

9. November 2006

Well, I’m once again on the quest for the ultimate wah-wah pedal (actually, come to think of it I’m always on the quest for the ultimate wah-wah pedal,) and after many lackluster years spent with Morleys (yawn,) and Crybabys (same ol’, same ol’) I’m thinking seriously about trying out Budda’s BudWah wah pedal. What I’m attracted [...]

In what I can only assume to be part of the massive promo effort leading up to Black Friday––Nov. 24th, the day Fender’s new “Blackie” Stratocaster replica hits stores––Fender is now giving away another guitar with Clapton’s name written all over it: the Artist Series Eric Clapton Stratocaster. Among other things the Eric Clapton Signature, as [...]

According to their website B.C. Rich has released an imported, non-handcrafted version of their heavy duty ten-stringed behemoth––the Exotic Classic Bich 10––which was previously available only in a hand-made model.

Wow, it’s been a long time coming (when was this thing announced… 2002?) but according to at least two different reports, including an interview with Gibson CEO Henry Juszkiewicz, the inexplicably-named Les Paul HD.6X-PRO (aka, the Digital Les Paul,) is finally beginning to ship to stores, though apparently still in limited quantities. I know of a [...]

Just a quick note for those who missed it: last Thursday saw the release of The Who’s first studio album since 1982’s It’s Hard… yep, it’s been 24 years! The new album, entitled Endless Wire, is said to be another Pete Townshend rock opera, ala Quadrophenia or Tommy. The mini-opera (which includes 10 songs) is apparently [...]

If you’re in the market for a recording amp that can produce both classic, sparkling Fender clean tones, and dirty, vintage tube overdrive you might be interested to know that Fender has posted sound-clips for their new Princeton Recording Amp… and they’re pretty freakin’ impressive. The amplifier is Fender’s latest re-working of their popular Princeton Reverb [...]

First Look: Aslin Dane’s Bohemian

Here’s a quick look at Aslin Dane’s incredibly versatile new release, the Bohemian, which I was lucky enough to get in for review just a few days ago. As you may have noticed, it bares a very strong resemblance to Brian May’s legendary Red Special––but that’s a rather long story, so we’ll save it for [...]

Polish heavy metal guitars? Cartoony-looking guitars built by an accordion factory? These are just a few of the gems you’ll find if you dare to enter the insanely great (don’t sue me Apple) website known as lordbizarre’s electric guitar & amp museum… If Ekos, Italias, and old Nationals are what you picture when you think of [...]
