Flesh Out Your Style With Playalongs
The following is a guest-post by Ignacio of ig blog––if you like his stuff, consider subscribing! I can’t believe it’s already May. The month before June, the mid-year mark. “Where did half the year go,” you ask. It seems like just yesterday you were relaxing on Christmas day, cup of eggnog in hand, your new [...]

3. May 2007
Just a quick note for the Zakk Wylde fans out there: this morning Gibson finally published a real product page for the Custom Shop Zakk Wylde Flying V, and it includes full guitar specs, the history of the instrument, and a downloadable pdf product sheet.

Well, the ink hasn’t even dried yet, but according to an e-mail from Epiphone two of their guitars––the Faded DOT Studio & Worn Firebird Studio––will be receiving the Gold Award for Overall Value in the June ’07 edition of Guitar World Magazine.

Well, here’s your chance to win a bit of re-issued history… Epiphone & Guitar World have apparently teamed together to give away an Epiphone Elitist 1965 Casino––a reissue of the guitar used at various times by three of the Beatles, and to this day Epiphone’s most celebrated instrument.

30. April 2007

30. April 2007
While researching some of the more recent tube-driven distortion pedals to hit the market, I came across this video review of Seymour Duncan’s Twin Tube Classic––a dual-channel overdrive pedal boasting a pair of American made Phillips-Sylvania 6021 dual triode tubes, true bypass circuitry, and what’s apparently a seriously road-worthy steel chassis. Now, I’ve owned a [...]

27. April 2007
Hehe, you’ve gotta’ love this… Headstrong Amplifiers, self-proclaimed makers of the world’s only “exact replica of the 1964 Princeton reverb and 1964 Deluxe Reverb Blackface” have done it again, this time producing the first true replica of Fender’s classic, and not to mention seriously hard to come by, ’63 Brown Vibroverb.
