4. April 2007

0 Comments

Well, there must be something in the air right now, ‘cuz both of the big dogs in guitar building are currently running guitar/car giveaways, and while some lucky bastard’s actually going to win one of these packages, the less than subtle oneupsmanship between Fender & Gibson seems a little silly to me this late in [...]

Well, my friend Dean over at Campbell American was kind enough to send me a little bit of eye candy the other morning, and I thought I’d share it with you all. This is a photo of one of Campbell American’s newest models, the Caledonian, and while this particular guitar is absolutely loaded with goodies (hence [...]

See & Hear The Fender VG Stratocaster In Action

19. March 2007

I’ll be the first to admit that Fender’s announcement of their new digital-modeling guitar, the VG Stratocaster, left me more than a bit nonplussed––I mean, as much as I love Fender’s traditional instruments, the rather short history of digital guitars is littered with badly planned, badly executed, or just plain lackluster attempts to bring the [...]

Vintage Guitar Magazine Reviews American Deluxe Stratocaster V-Neck

16. March 2007

1 Comment

This afternoon I came across a fairly in-depth review of Fender’s American Deluxe Stratocaster V-Neck, and since I don’t plan on reviewing the instrument as part of my Quest For The Perfect Strat series (neck preference is a very individual thing, but V-necks just don’t fit well in my hands,) I thought I’d drop you [...]

If you’ve been looking for an authentic, over the top tube distortion tone, but aren’t necessarily in the position to plunk down a small fortune on that menacing wall-o-Marshalls, you might want to check out Guitar Player’s recent review of three Vox CoolTron pedals––the Big Ben Overdrive, Brit Boost, and Bulldog Distortion.
