King Of Twang: Gibson Introduces Duane Eddy Signature Hollowbody
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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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? He’s been working the Awards Shows, Austin City Limits, The Grammys, and a number of other TV venues — and I can certainly understand his popularity… the guy just rocks. If [...]

2. August 2006
Ok, I may not be a huge Aerosmith fan (although I’m the first to admit that Steven Tyler is pretty damned entertaining, and I certainly don’t have anything against the band) but this Joe Perry Signature “Boneyard” Les Paul from Epiphone is drop-dead gorgeous. Yeah, you may have noticed that there is a much more [...]

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. One part rockabilly roots-rocker, one part punk rock madman, the good [...]
