Reader Poll: What’s Your Absolute Dream Guitar?

25. May 2007

Here’s a chance to share your dreams with the world––OK, well, if not the world then at least with my illustrious, good looking, and incredibly talented readers. What’s your absolute dream guitar?

Thank gawd it’s Friday! I’ve been burnt-out and jet-lagged all week, and I could really use a chance to catch up on my sleep… anyway, I wanted to throw out some quick links this morning before I get too deep into writing my next full-on review. In case you missed it, Ig is running a series [...]

Electro-Harmonix Busts Out With Two New Pedals… Specs Would Be Nice

24. May 2007

0 Comments

Well, with no fanfare whatsoever Electro-Harmonix has added two new guitar effects pedals to their line-up––what appears to be a nano-sized reissue of the classic ’70s Soul Preacher Compressor/Sustainer, and something called the #1 Echo. Unfortunately, in usual Electro-Harmonix fashion, specs are pretty much nonexistent, so it’s not even apparent whether the new Soul Preacher is [...]

Too cool––Elvis Costello may not be known for his incredible guitar prowess, but the man is right at the top of my short-list for favorite singer/songwriters of all times, and an incredibly gifted performer to boot. Anyway, in an apparent move to promote the long-awaited digital release of Costello’s back catalog (yikes, it took long enough!) [...]

Gibson’s Guitar Of The Week program is getting so big––with a new Limited Release Custom instrument each week––that I thought I’d better start an index page to keep track of the announcements as they get posted. Anyway, if you’re away from the computer for a few days and need a quick way to catch-up on the [...]

New For 2007: Fender ‘62 Heavy Relic Stratocaster

18. May 2007

2 Comments

Fender continues to expand its popular (and somewhat controversial) line of “Relic” guitars with the recently announced 2007 Custom Shop Limited Release ‘62 Heavy Relic Stratocaster (quick, say that ten times fast.) This latest model was apparently built to exude the seriously worn-in vibe of a vintage ‘62 Strat that’s seen a few too many nights [...]

Well, I’m not at all sure when they made the official announcement, but cruising Campbell American’s site this morning I came upon what looks to be the latest edition to their family of fine hand made guitars––the UK-1. If you’ve never heard of Campbell American, they’re a boutique guitar maker out of New England’s Blackstone Valley, [...]
