Fender Reproduces The Ritchie Blackmore Stratocaster… Again?
So, anybody got the inside scoop on this? I apparently missed the memo. Off the top of my head I remember two other official Ritchie Blackmore Stratocasters coming out of Fender in the last decade or so… there was a 1997 MIJ Limited Edition version with set-neck construction, and a lower-cost MIJ production version with a [...]

23. January 2009
Yum. That’s one nice looking LP. And hey, Gibson’s giving it away for free––my favorite price point. But seriously, I’m a sucker for these contests, and they’ve made this one exceedingly easy to get in on: you just text the words “LPburst” to Gibson’s hotline.

Yep, it’s that time again… Winter NAMM 2009 is now in full swing, and even though difficulties in my offline life have kept me from attending for the last two years straight, I’m certainly there in spirit! The big news from Fender this season (at least as far as electric guitar enthusiasts are concerned,) is the [...]

Okay, I still get some many questions about Gibson’s gorgeous Silverburst that I thought I’d best point this out to you all before the stock is all sold out. Online instrument retailer Sweetwater (no affiliation,) has apparently received a shipment of just 25 exclusive Limited Edition Silverburst Les Paul Standards––and at last check they still had [...]

Say hello to the 50th Anniversary Korina Explorer, ES-335, Les Paul Figured, and Korina Flying V… more information as it becomes available. P.S. That ES335 is gonna’ kill me… please, stop [...]

According to Gibson, both guitars will feature one-piece mahogany necks, ebony fretboards [...]
