Guitar Player Puts Four Looping Pedals Through Their Paces

21. June 2007

There’s a great in-depth comparison and review of four different looping pedals over at Guitar Player right now, and reading through it made me realize just how far the whole technology of looping has come since I first messed around with it in a very primitive form nearly two decades ago. The pedals covered here [...]

Wow, I can’t believe we’re already 22 weeks into this thing… early this morning Gibson announced yet another installment in their limited-run Guitar Of The Week series, and it’s definitely a beauty––the new Les Paul Supreme Gold. The guitar appears to possess the same slightly over the top accoutrements as the other instruments in the [...]

Video Demos From The Big Boys… What’s Taking So Long?

18. June 2007

For the last few weeks I’ve been watching Paul Reed Smith Guitars (PRS) add high-quality video demos to their various guitar product pages, and it got me thinking––what the heck’s taken so long? Smaller guitar/gear manufacturers like Eastwood and Headstrong have managed to create significant buzz around their new products by fully leveraging the power [...]

Speed Linking: Fender’s Obnoxious New Site, Budda’s Superdrive 45, Reverend Manta Ray

14. June 2007

Uggh, Fender re-designed their site last weekend, and IMHO it’s a major step backwards––while their old look was classy, clean, and full of vintage vibe, the current re-design looks like it’s pretty much aimed at the teenage ADD crowd. Note to Fender: websites that blast loud music at you without giving you time to turn [...]

It’s Tuesday again, and Gibson has just announced the latest member of their limited run Guitar Of The Week series––this week’s instrument being a rather wicked looking customized version of the new SG-3 (first introduced at this year’s Winter NAMM.) Simply titled the SG-3 Fireburst, the guitar sports many of the same features as the [...]

While we’re on the subject of funky guitars… I’m not sure about the actual release date here, but DiPinto, maker of two of my all-time favorite funky guitars––the wonderful Belvedere Deluxe and insanely surfy Galaxie 4––has apparently added a less-funky new line of instruments to their roster: the Metro Series. Breaking away from the esoteric [...]

Epiphone Unveils New Limited Edition Wildkat Deluxe

Well, I haven’t seen any kind of official word from Epiphone (I dug around and there isn’t even a product page on their website,) but from what I can gather a new Limited Edition Wildkat goes on sale today across a number of online guitars retailers. The specifics are still a bit shaky, but the [...]

Great Guitar Jam Tracks… I’ll Show You Mine If You’ll Show Me Yours

I don’t know about you, but being a full-time wage slave, husband, blogger, cancer caregiver, and general all-around nice guy, I don’t get time to jam with my friends nearly as often as I’d like––I do, however, find time as often as possible to sneak into the back room for some quality time with one [...]
