Squier Continues Its Push Into “Vintage” With Telecaster Thinline

4. June 2007

Well, it looks like Squier must be seeing some success from its recently debuted Vintage Modified line, because this morning the company expanded the series with a brand new addition––the Vintage Modified Telecaster Thinline. Yep, based on Fender’s classic ’69 Tele Thinline (you can read my review here,) the Squier VM Telecaster Thinline will sport [...]

30. May 2007

6 Comments

Gibson this morning launched the latest addition to their year-long Guitar Of The Week series––this week’s model being the new Les Paul Classic Antique in Zebra Wood. At first glance the name may seem like a bit of a misnomer––the guitar doesn’t really look anything like the other LP Classic Antiques that it’s based on––but [...]

Wow… check out these bad boys. According to Gretsch’s website, Fuller’s Vintage Guitar (in Houston Texas,) is now the proud home, not to mention sole distributor, of these three retro-classic beauties––Custom Limited Edition versions of the G6120W-55 Nashville Western, G6136-55 White Falcon, and the G6120-55 Nashville.

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

24. May 2007

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Fender To Produce American Vintage ’57 Commemorative Stratocaster

9. May 2007

Well, I have yet to see any kind of “official” word from Fender, but according to a rather unfinished looking product page on their website the company has a new guitar in the works–the American Vintage 1957 Commemorative Stratocaster. I think it’s safe to assume the guitar is meant to celebrate the 50-year Anniversary of [...]
