Gibson Releases Pete Townshend Signature Les Paul Deluxe #9

16. August 2006

I’m gonna’ lay this on the line right from the get-go – Gibson’s Pete Townshend Deluxe Les Paul #9 looks like one seriously sweet guitar. On top of an incredible set of features, and of course its singular style, this one’s pretty much bound to be a collector’s item if for no other reason than [...]

Monster Of Metal: ESP Unveils James Hetfield Signature Truckster

14. August 2006

0 Comments

A couple of months back we covered ESP’s surprisingly affordable James Hetfield Signature guitar, the LTD Truckster, but I thought today we’d take a look at that instrument’s more refined (and hence more expensive) sibling – the ESP James Hetfield Signature Truckster.

Along with yesterday’s announcement by Epiphone of their new Blues Custom 30 tube amp comes word of another new piece of highly affordable equipment – the DOT Studio Hollowbody… yep, an ES-335 for the rest of us!

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 [...]

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 [...]
