Fender Reissues Deluxe Roadhouse & Lonestar Stratocasters

30. November 2007

Well, I haven’t seen any official announcement from Fender on either of these beauties, but I’m assuming this is another pre-Christmas move to try and get a fair number of lower-cost Strats under all those Christmas trees. According to the small amount of info I have, Fender has now re-issued two of their popular “Texas [...]

One for the Slash or Velvet Revolver fanatic… Epiphone today announced the release of their new Slash Signature Les Paul Standard Plus Top––basically a lower-cost, and of course fully-sanctioned remake of Gibson’s Custom Shop Slash Signature LP.

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.
