Rockabilly Bad Boy: Gretsch Releases Brian Setzer Hot Rod

17. August 2006

Brian Setzer is a long-time favorite guitarist of mine (since way back when I was a teenager, and Setzer was still in the Stray Cats,) and if you know anything about the man you know he’s a Gretsch fanatic. In fact, the last time I checked he had something like five different Brian Setzer Signature [...]

I’m gonna’ lay this on the line right from the get-go – Gibson’s Pete Townshend Deluxe Les Paul #9 looks like one seriously sweet guitar. On top of an incredible set of features, and of course its singular style, this one’s pretty much bound to be a collector’s item if for no other reason than [...]

A couple of months back we covered ESP’s surprisingly affordable James Hetfield Signature guitar, the LTD Truckster, but I thought today we’d take a look at that instrument’s more refined (and hence more expensive) sibling – the ESP James Hetfield Signature Truckster. I’m guessing just about any serious Metallica fan (and plenty of non-fans too,) [...]

Last year I was introduced to the unique beauty and hand-made quality of Zemaitis guitars when I accidentally stumbled across the gorgeous Zemaitis Metal Front – a hand engraved, metal topped monster that looks roughly like a Les Paul, but with a whole lot more personality. While Zemaitis is known for their incredible hand-crafted masterpieces [...]

Along with yesterday’s announcement by Epiphone of their new Blues Custom 30 tube amp comes word of another new piece of highly affordable equipment – the DOT Studio Hollowbody… yep, an ES-335 for the rest of us!

9. August 2006

0 Comments

Duane Eddy, the rock world’s original king of “twang,” is said to have sold over 100 million records in his time – not too shabby for an instrumentalist, eh? In a lot of ways he was the first true Guitar God, and as such he probably deserves a signature model guitar more than anybody who [...]

Well, I was pretty sure I was done blogging for the evening when I got word that Epiphone had released a new, and presumably very affordable tube amp — the Blues Custom 30. Built by none other than parent company Gibson, the Blues Custom 30 is said to produce that warm tube tone that old-school [...]
