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. Designed by Stanley himself in close collaboration with the luthiers over at Washburn, the Preacher will be available [...]

Hehe… well, it looks like Michael Leonhart has done it again––he’s produced yet another refreshingly avant-garde video demo for Electro-Harmonix, this time showing off the company’s newly re-imagined Stereo Electric Mistress. As with Leonhart’s earlier video demos, you’ll probably either love this one or hate it, but either way you have to admit the guy [...]

Easing back into things here at EGR… thanks again for all of your incredible support. If you want to keep up with me on more of a personal level, you can always subscribe to my personal blog. Anyway, like a car wreck you just can’t turn away from, Fender’s Joe Strummer Signature Telecaster continues to [...]

As a dyed-in-the-wool Electro Harmonix fan I came about this close to purchasing the [...]

Well, Eastwood has done it again… just when I was beginning to feel content with my current guitar line-up, along comes word that the world’s most prolific “retro” guitar builder is producing an extremely limited run of these classic Airline 2P DLX guitars––in stunning Metallic Copper finish. And when I say “limited” I mean limited: [...]

I was just beginning to wonder whether we’d see anything new from Fender before Winter NAMM, only to discover this morning that the company had announced yet another pre-determined collector’s item––the Stevie Ray Vaughan “Lenny” Stratocaster. Part of Fender’s illustrious Tribute Series, the SRV “Lenny” Strat is apparently being commissioned by Guitar Center––which purchased Stevie’s [...]
