It’s Tuesday again, and Gibson has just announced the latest member of their limited run Guitar Of The Week series––this week’s instrument being a rather wicked looking customized version of the new SG-3 (first introduced at this year’s Winter NAMM.) Simply titled the SG-3 Fireburst, the guitar sports many of the same features as the SG-3, [...]

While we’re on the subject of funky guitars… I’m not sure about the actual release date here, but DiPinto, maker of two of my all-time favorite funky guitars––the wonderful Belvedere Deluxe and insanely surfy Galaxie 4––has apparently added a less-funky new line of instruments to their roster: the Metro Series. Breaking away from the esoteric guitar design [...]

Well, I haven’t seen any kind of official word from Epiphone (I dug around and there isn’t even a product page on their website,) but from what I can gather a new Limited Edition Wildkat goes on sale today across a number of online guitars retailers. The specifics are still a bit shaky, but the guitar, [...]

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 aside [...]

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. The three new models are apparently decked out in full-on “Deluxified” [...]

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 is [...]
