We don’t tend to see much in the way of new product releases so close to NAMM, but perhaps Fender is hoping to get some play out of the lead-up to Christmas. This morning the company pulled the lid off of this cool little combo––the George Fullerton 50th Anniversary ‘57 Stratocaster & Pro Jr. Amp. It’s not [...]

On my paranoid days I could swear these guys are just trying to bankrupt me… latest news out of the Eastwood camp is that the company is now producing a “Deluxe” version of their already incredibly cool Sidejack Baritone. Based on the standard Sidejack, which in turn was heavily inspired by the classically funky Mosrite guitars [...]

Wow… 2007 is really turning into a hell of a year for those of us whose taste in guitar players runs a bit shy of the mainstream. Not only did we see Fender’s introduction of the Joe Strummer Telecaster and J. Mascis Jazzmaster, but it would appear that an Elvis Costello Signature Jazzmaster is now [...]

Never long to stay out of the limelight, KISS guitarist Paul Stanley and venerable guitar maker Washburn have apparently teamed up on yet another new addition to the Paul Stanley Signature Series of instruments… introducing the Preacher.

Anyway, like a car wreck you just can’t turn away from, Fender’s Joe Strummer Signature Telecaster continues to haunt my dreams… [...]

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 1x12” Combo––a heavily Class-A biased tube amp––is top notch, consisting of not only a [...]

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 [...]
