GP’s Video Roundup: 19 Guitar Effects Pedals Tested
If you’re a reader of Guitar Player Magazine (Hunny, I swear, I only read it for the articles,) you may have caught their recent effects pedal “Pow-Wow” (July, 2007 issue.) It turned out to be a fine roundup of a whole slew of new effects, but the big news for me is that they’ve just [...]

Well, I hope everyone here in the States had a great day of BBQ & fireworks yesterday, and for those of you around the world who don’t celebrate America’s Independence Day, well… I hope you had a lovely Wednesday just the same.

3. July 2007
If my memory serves me correctly, Eastwood first introduced their Airline H44 back in January of this year (at Winter NAMM 2007,) as an inexpensive, updated & upgraded remake of the classic Harmony H44 Stratotone––a funky little slide guitar from the ’50s, with a neck the size of a small tree trunk, and some seriously [...]

3. July 2007
I’ll be the first to admit that I’ve never been a huge fan of Gibson’s Firebird (based purely on aesthetics mind you,) but I rather like this one for its Frankenstein-ish good looks.

Gibson released Guitar Of The Week #23 this morning, but the instrument––a standard Les Paul Money Bass in Natural Satin––was so yawn-inducing I didn’t think you’d want to read a whole post about it.
