Mesa Boogie Lonestar Special Reviewed At Guitar Player

5. January 2007

A couple months back Guitar Player Magazine ran an in-depth review of Mesa Boogie’s new all-tube combo, the Lonestar Special, which left me absolutely drooling to get my hands on one of these retro-tan beauties. I’m happy to see they’ve now published it online as well (photos included, though they don’t look nearly as nice [...]

Sure enough, another major amplifier manufacturer has busted out with a low-powered Class-A guitar amp that “gives guitarists the classic guitar tones of rock’s golden era” along with a few modern extras for those of us who have gotten spoiled by multiple channels, direct “mic-simulated” output and the like. The new 15-watt Windsor Studio is [...]

Wow… PRS is expected to debut a whopping eight new guitar models at this month’s Winter NAMM ’07 Conference in Anaheim, including three new three double cutaway instruments, and five single cutaways (the PRS SE One is shown here.)

Is it just me, or does it seem like every major amplifier manufacturer is pumping out their own Class A tube amp these days?

According to Modern Guitars Magazine Daisy Rock is expected to debut its first American made, hand-crafted “girl” guitar at the upcoming ’07 Winter NAMM show––the Rock Candy Pink Label.
