Video Demos From The Big Boys… What’s Taking So Long?

18. June 2007

For the last few weeks I’ve been watching Paul Reed Smith Guitars (PRS) add high-quality video demos to their various guitar product pages, and it got me thinking––what the heck’s taken so long? Smaller guitar/gear manufacturers like Eastwood and Headstrong have managed to create significant buzz around their new products by fully leveraging the power of [...]

Speed Linking: Fender’s Obnoxious New Site, Budda’s Superdrive 45, Reverend Manta Ray

14. June 2007

9 Comments

Uggh, Fender re-designed their site last weekend, and IMHO it’s a major step backwards––while their old look was classy, clean, and full of vintage vibe, the current re-design looks like it’s pretty much aimed at the teenage ADD crowd. Note to Fender: websites that blast loud music at you without giving you time to turn down [...]

Gibson Announces Guitar Of The Week #21 :: SG-3 Fireburst

12. June 2007

9 Comments

It’s Tuesday again, and Gibson has just announced the latest member of their limited run Guitar Of The Week series––this week’s instrument being a rather wicked looking customized version of the new SG-3 (first introduced at this year’s Winter NAMM.) Simply titled the SG-3 Fireburst, the guitar sports many of the same features as the SG-3, [...]

The MiniMay… What More Can I Say, Right?

12. June 2007

2 Comments

Hehe… OK, I’ve come across a number of interesting looking travel guitars over the years, but this one is probably the coolest. Yep, it’s a wee miniature version of Queen guitarist Brian May’s legendary Red Special, built by Brian May Guitars, and aptly titled the MiniMay. Unfortunately, there isn’t a whole lot in the way of specs [...]

While we’re on the subject of funky guitars… I’m not sure about the actual release date here, but DiPinto, maker of two of my all-time favorite funky guitars––the wonderful Belvedere Deluxe and insanely surfy Galaxie 4––has apparently added a less-funky new line of instruments to their roster: the Metro Series. Breaking away from the esoteric guitar [...]

Too cool––you’ve gotta’ love the dedication and devotion that some people have for their funky old guitars… Peter over at The Practice Room posted a link to The Harmony Database this morning and I just had to share it with you, as I’m a huge fan of Harmony guitars. I own two of Harmony’s acoustic models––the [...]

Epiphone Unveils New Limited Edition Wildkat Deluxe

Well, I haven’t seen any kind of official word from Epiphone (I dug around and there isn’t even a product page on their website,) but from what I can gather a new Limited Edition Wildkat goes on sale today across a number of online guitars retailers. The specifics are still a bit shaky, but the guitar, [...]

Great Guitar Jam Tracks… I’ll Show You Mine If You’ll Show Me Yours

I don’t know about you, but being a full-time wage slave, husband, blogger, cancer caregiver, and general all-around nice guy, I don’t get time to jam with my friends nearly as often as I’d like––I do, however, find time as often as possible to sneak into the back room for some quality time with one [...]
