BOSS Releases MICRO-BR Portable Digital Recorder
OK, I’ll admit it… I’m a big fan of guitar gadgets, and when I saw this thing I just knew I had to write about it – and maybe purchase one. Its BOSS’s new ultra-portable Pro Digital Studio, the MICRO-BR. Just a bit bigger than an iPod, its apparently got everything you could want in an [...]

4. August 2006
While I’m definitely not what anyone would call a Guns N’ Roses fan, I do appreciate the influence Slash has had on a lot of guitar players, and I think that Gibson’s latest version of the Slash Signature Les Paul is just beautiful in its simplicity, subtle color scheme, and general lack of overt flashiness.

3. August 2006
Is it just me, or does it seem like you can’t turn on the television these days without stumbling on a John Mayer performance?

1. August 2006
OK, I thought I’d start this series off with a bang – while I’m guessing that a number of you have never heard of the man (he’s a rather obscure phenomenon,) the Reverend Horton Heat is one of my favorite guitarists of all time.

27. July 2006
Well, if you haven’t already done so you’ll be happy to know that there are still a few days left to get in on Epiphone’s Les Paul Studio Giveaway (actually, they call it a “Contest,” but since you don’t really have to compete in any way I’m not sure that’s a fair description.) Anyways, the “Contest” [...]

24. July 2006
Sold! A two-of-a-kind NBA Finals themed Les Paul built by Gibson’s famous Custom Shop has sold in auction for the surprisingly (to me at least) low price of $4,800.
