PRS Gets Back In The Amplifier Business
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 [...]

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!

30. September 2008
Okay, so this is your chance to sound off, folks… for the last week or so I’ve been trying to wrap my brain around the basic aesthetic design of the new PRS Starla, but I just can’t seem to come up with a definitive opinion on what I think. First off, hey––I love a Bigsby! [...]

Interesting… so far I haven’t heard any official word from Gibson, but according to one of the major online guitar retailers Gibson will soon be adding a new model to its current catalog of old school Electric Spanish models––the so-called ES-330 Long Neck.
