Rockabilly Bad Boy: Gretsch Releases Brian Setzer Hot Rod
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 [...]

16. August 2006
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 [...]

14. August 2006
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.

9. August 2006
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 [...]

8. August 2006
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 analog [...]

8. August 2006
When Gibson first hinted at the upcoming release of the Elliot Easton Signature SG – part of their new Inspired By collection – I just about blew a head gasket. Not so much because of the Elliot Easton connection (though I was a huge fan of The Cars when I was a kid,) but because [...]
