Marshall’s Vintage Modern Series To Ship In January ‘07

21. November 2006

If you’ve been lusting after Marshall’s recent wave of handwired and highly expensive re-issue amplifiers, like the exceedingly cool JTM45/100 & Super 100JH, you’ll be happy to know that the company has announced an entirely new line of amplifiers based on these two re-issues, and unlike their handwired predecessors they’ll apparently be priced for the [...]

Not sure how I missed the official announcement on this one, but Gibson has apparently added another guitar to their drool-inducing ‘Inspired By’ line, and it’s a beauty––the Limited Edition Roy Orbison ES-335. The guitar is based on an early ’80s model ES-335 that Orbison played in his famous 1987 televised concert “Roy Orbison & Friends: [...]

Just a quick note that online musical instrument retailer Woodwind & Brasswind has dropped their pricing on one of my favorite Teles––Fender’s ‘72 Telecaster Deluxe. The new price is just $689.49 at time of writing. The ‘72 Telecaster Deluxe was released in 2004, apparently marking the first time in over 30 years that the instrument had [...]

Ever since purchasing an EC-400 archtop earlier this year I’ve become a big fan of ESP’s guitars, so I thought I’d point out what looks to be the largest promotional guitar giveaway ever… or at least the largest in my memory. In a PR stunt that’s bound to get them some attention from the shredders out [...]

Quick Note… A few weeks back when Gibson announced its new Les Paul BFG, they made reference to the fact that the guitar was meant to bring traditional Les Paul tone & performance to the teaming masses––without the traditional hefty Les Paul price tag. While Gibson didn’t publish an MSRP at the time (at least not that [...]

In what I can only assume to be part of the massive promo effort leading up to Black Friday––Nov. 24th, the day Fender’s new “Blackie” Stratocaster replica hits stores––Fender is now giving away another guitar with Clapton’s name written all over it: the Artist Series Eric Clapton Stratocaster. Among other things the Eric Clapton Signature, as [...]

According to their website B.C. Rich has released an imported, non-handcrafted version of their heavy duty ten-stringed behemoth––the Exotic Classic Bich 10––which was previously available only in a hand-made model. Due to the original’s Custom Shop quality, until now the instrument has been pretty much out of the price range of most starving artists, with [...]

Wow, it’s been a long time coming (when was this thing announced… 2002?) but according to at least two different reports, including an interview with Gibson CEO Henry Juszkiewicz, the inexplicably-named Les Paul HD.6X-PRO (aka, the Digital Les Paul,) is finally beginning to ship to stores, though apparently still in limited quantities. I know of a [...]
