Steelbender.com Takes The New Carr Vincent For A Test Drive
Wow… I’ve been known to write some fairly in-depth reviews in my time (heck, a few of them have taken me literally weeks to complete,) but Jason Barker over at Steelbender.com just puts me to shame. His review of Carr‘s new Vincent 1×12″ Combo––a heavily Class-A biased tube amp––is top notch, consisting of not only [...]

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
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 [...]

17. October 2007
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. And when I say “limited” I mean limited: [...]

I was just beginning to wonder whether we’d see anything new from Fender before Winter NAMM, only to discover this morning that the company had announced yet another pre-determined collector’s item––the Stevie Ray Vaughan “Lenny” Stratocaster. Part of Fender’s illustrious Tribute Series, the SRV “Lenny” Strat is apparently being commissioned by Guitar Center––which purchased Stevie’s [...]

5. October 2007
If you remember, VOX started this year off with a bang when they announced their new Heritage Collection line of guitar amplifiers––including the super-slick Limited Edition AC15H1TV––meant to celebrate the company’s 50th Anniversary in the rock & roll business. Today the company upped the ante when it announced three new additions to the Heritage Collection: [...]

5. October 2007
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 [...]

5. October 2007
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. As if the Halo 3 marketing juggernaut weren’t already powerful enough––they’re pawning off energy drinks for gawd’s sake––Ibanez is now set to give away three Custom Halo [...]
