1. May 2008

In case you haven’t seen it, Gibson’s kicking off May with the introduction of the new Les Paul Push-tone––a uniquely versatile instrument in that you can literally push the pickups out of the back of the guitar, unclip the wires, and swap in a completely different set of pickups, apparently in minutes.

I have to tell ya’, I toyed early on with the idea of doing a hands-on review of Gibson’s HD.6X, but the time and equipment required to really put the thing through its paces––and give it the honest assessment it deserves––seemed daunting at best.

Talk about a subtle beauty––Gibson’s Guitar Of The Week #20 has turned out to be a suped-up Les Paul Studio, all decked out in black chrome-plated hardware, and dressed to the nines in a fine Satin Ebony finish. Specs are still a bit murky this morning, as the guitar apparently boasts a pair of EMG [...]
