See & Hear The New Electro-Harmonix Voice Box In Action
Wow, have you seen this thing? Once again, Electro-Harmonix produces another stimulating, informational, and just plain fun video demo of one of their new pedals — the Voice Box Vocal Harmony Machine & Vocoder. Yeah, before seeing this demo the chances of me purchasing any kind of vocoder was pretty damned slim, but I have to [...]

27. January 2009
So, anybody got the inside scoop on this? I apparently missed the memo. Off the top of my head I remember two other official Ritchie Blackmore Stratocasters coming out of Fender in the last decade or so… there was a 1997 MIJ Limited Edition version with set-neck construction, and a lower-cost MIJ production version with a [...]

Well, it’s that time again folks… time for the boys and girls with the big bucks to throw down some serious scratch on yet another pre-destined collector’s item––Gibson’s new limited run Jeff Beck 1954 Les Paul Oxblood. All right, while I’m fairly sure I myself will never purchase one of these Artist Replica-type instruments, I can [...]

21. January 2009
Okay, so I’ve been playing a lot of acoustic guitar recently (mostly fingerstyle blues and general Americana,) and I’ve developed a serious crush on this new re-issue from Gibson — the 1937 L-00 Legend. Talk about a looker… check out that striped tortoise shell pickguard! Sure, I’d love an original L-00, but unfortunately I don’t have [...]

19. January 2009
I’m still catching up on all the news coming out of the 2009 Winter NAMM show, but one of the bigger stories this year was that PRS Guitars is getting back in the business of amplifiers. Apparently they’ve been collaborating with amp guru Doug Sewell for nearly four years to bring three new high-end guitar amps [...]

16. January 2009
Yep, it’s that time again… Winter NAMM 2009 is now in full swing, and even though difficulties in my offline life have kept me from attending for the last two years straight, I’m certainly there in spirit! The big news from Fender this season (at least as far as electric guitar enthusiasts are concerned,) is the [...]

14. January 2009
Okay, I still get some many questions about Gibson’s gorgeous Silverburst that I thought I’d best point this out to you all before the stock is all sold out. Online instrument retailer Sweetwater (no affiliation,) has apparently received a shipment of just 25 exclusive Limited Edition Silverburst Les Paul Standards––and at last check they still had [...]

9. October 2008
Okay all you hair-metal-heads (are there any of those left? Quick, show of hands!) here’s your chance to win a frighteningly scalloped Yngwie Malmsteen Signature Strat––signed by the madman himself. This is apparently a PR move to bring some awareness to the upcoming release (November 28th, 2008) of the new Fender Custom Shop limited edition Yngwie [...]
