Guitar Player Reviews Three New PRS SE Model Guitars

19. October 2007

Well, the busy folks over at Paul Reed Smith (PRS) agreed to send me an SE One for review a few months back, but unfortunately the guitar has never materialized, and to be honest, with the chaos I’ve been through recently I probably won’t have time for another hands-on review for at least the next [...]

18. October 2007

6 Comments

When Electro-Harmonix announced the release of their new Micro POG effects pedal––essentially a miniaturized version of their incredibly cool POG polyphonic octave generator––I had to wonder how they were going to replicate the original pedal’s functionality in such a small configuration. As a dyed-in-the-wool Electro Harmonix fan I came about this close to purchasing the [...]

Well, Eastwood has done it again… just when I was beginning to feel content with my current guitar line-up, along comes word that the world’s most prolific “retro” guitar builder is producing an extremely limited run of these classic Airline 2P DLX guitars––in stunning Metallic Copper finish.

Just finished watching Guitar Player Magazine’s recent video review of the Caledonian––one of Campbell American’s newer models. I take a keen interest in pretty much everything Campbell American does these days, because when I did my hands-on review of their first model, the Precix, back in August of ’06, I really fell head over heels [...]

If you’re a mad Master Chief fanatic like me (much to my beautiful wife’s dismay,) you’ll definitely want to get in on this giveaway from Ibanez and Bungie.

While the six standard [...]
