Finally: Gibson’s Digital Les Paul Heading To Stores

8. November 2006

Wow, it’s been a long time coming (when was this thing announced… 2002?) but according to at least two different reports, including an interview with Gibson CEO Henry Juszkiewicz, the inexplicably-named Les Paul HD.6X-PRO (aka, the Digital Les Paul,) is finally beginning to ship to stores, though apparently still in limited quantities. I know of a [...]

Just a quick note for those who missed it: last Thursday saw the release of The Who’s first studio album since 1982’s It’s Hard… yep, it’s been 24 years! The new album, entitled Endless Wire, is said to be another Pete Townshend rock opera, ala Quadrophenia or Tommy. The mini-opera (which includes 10 songs) is apparently [...]

If you’re in the market for a recording amp that can produce both classic, sparkling Fender clean tones, and dirty, vintage tube overdrive you might be interested to know that Fender has posted sound-clips for their new Princeton Recording Amp… and they’re pretty freakin’ impressive. The amplifier is Fender’s latest re-working of their popular Princeton Reverb [...]

First Look: Aslin Dane’s Bohemian

Here’s a quick look at Aslin Dane’s incredibly versatile new release, the Bohemian, which I was lucky enough to get in for review just a few days ago. As you may have noticed, it bares a very strong resemblance to Brian May’s legendary Red Special––but that’s a rather long story, so we’ll save it for [...]

Polish heavy metal guitars? Cartoony-looking guitars built by an accordion factory? These are just a few of the gems you’ll find if you dare to enter the insanely great (don’t sue me Apple) website known as lordbizarre’s electric guitar & amp museum… If Ekos, Italias, and old Nationals are what you picture when you think of [...]

Well, it’s finally happened––Electric Guitar Review reached its first birthday today, and I have to admit I’m pretty proud of how this little blog has grown. 12 months and nearly 300 posts later, we’ve managed to take a look at some great guitars & gear, build relationships with a ton of maniacal guitar-bloggers, and even [...]

Ever since the announcement of BOSS’s new MICRO BR digital recorder I’ve been getting a lot of requests to post more info about this incredibly cool looking guitar gadget. Unfortunately, and rather surprisingly, full specs have been pretty hard to come by. If you’re one of those folks who was looking for more information, you should [...]

Two Great Gibsons You’ve Probably Never Heard Of

If you’re a baby boomer you might just remember first-hand Gibson’s short-lived production of the Marauder and S1 guitars (sadly, they were both put to rest after runs of just five-years,) but for the rest of us there’s an interesting article over at Gibson’s website about these two seldom seen guitars. Actually, reading the piece got [...]
