I’m Off To Hawaii! Introducing The Gold Tone Lap Steel Guitar
VACATION TIME! Well, tomorrow I’m off to the Big island of Hawaii for a much needed two weeks of rest, relaxation, and mai-tais. But don’t worry – I’ve pre-posted enough stuff to keep you all busy while, so Electric Guitar Review will continue to be updated automagically while I’m gone :) In parting, I thought it [...]
Continue reading...Me Too! Seven Songs That Changed My Life
21. March 2006
Matt over at Guitar Stuff did a great post recently listing the seven songs that changed his life, so for the fun of it I thought I’d take his lead and list my own seven life-changing tunes. Some of these are fairly obscure, but IMHO they are all timeless classics in their own right. Jimi Hendrix: All [...]

13. March 2006
A lot less in-your-face than Gibson’s racing-striped SG GT, the newly announced Les Paul GT harkens back to the rockin’ 1950s with a hot, hot, hot flaming paint job on the top side (subtle, but cool,) and even an old-school ’50s Les Paul neck. Admittedly, the styling may be a little over the top for today’s [...]

12. March 2006
If you’re jonesin’ to get into a Gretsch guitar, but you don’t want to shell out a small fortune, you’ll be happy to know that Gretsch has a new line of very affordable guitars, and they look like they’re probably based on the popular Duo Jet line. The Electromatic Pro Jet with Bigsby is a semi-hollowbody [...]

11. March 2006
Holy crud… I don’t usually cover basses on EGR, but hey, it’s not every day that a little piece of guitar history gets resurrected… That’s right, Danelectro’s much loved (and much maligned – yeah, kind of like an old VW Beetle) Longhorn Bass is back in production, and now it’s apparently got two siblings: the baritone [...]

7. March 2006
OK, we don’t have much to go on here, since Gretsch hasn’t yet posted the full specs on their new G6122-12 Country Classic Twelve String (it was just introduced at NAMM 2006,) but like most of Gretsch’s guitars it looks like a beauty. What we do know is that it’s a 12-string version of the venerable [...]

6. March 2006
OK, I have to admit I have no idea exactly who Gibson is marketing this guitar at, though I suspect it might turn out to be popular with the “Weekend Warrior” crowd… I mean, I don’t know too many young players who want to haul around a guitar with racing stripes… That said, the new Gibson [...]
Continue reading...Gibson Introduces SG Goddess: A Girl-Guitar Powerhouse
2. March 2006
While we’re on the subject of girl-guitars, check out Gibson’s newly introduced SG Goddess. Like the other guitars in their new female-oriented line, the SG Goddess looks like it’s going to pack a real punch. Built on a significantly slimmer body, you might be quick to assume that this is just a watered-down SG, but in [...]
