Speed Linking: Gibson’s Guitar Of The Week #23, Epi Les Paul Ultra Giveaway…

26. June 2007

Gibson released Guitar Of The Week #23 this morning, but the instrument––a standard Les Paul Money Bass in Natural Satin––was so yawn-inducing I didn’t think you’d want to read a whole post about it. Anyways, for the sake of the Guitar Of The Week Index I thought I’d better at least provide a link. Now don’t [...]

If you’ve been drooling over a PRS guitar but don’t exactly have the pocket change to drop on one of their top-of-the-line instruments, you might want to take a look at the company’s less-expensive import models. Import models? Yep, the PRS SE Series was apparently created at the urging of Carlos Santana, in the hopes of [...]

Guitar Player Puts Four Looping Pedals Through Their Paces

21. June 2007

There’s a great in-depth comparison and review of four different looping pedals over at Guitar Player right now, and reading through it made me realize just how far the whole technology of looping has come since I first messed around with it in a very primitive form nearly two decades ago. The pedals covered here include [...]

Marshall’s New Bass Amps, Lemmy & Jack Daniels, ESP Goes “Relic”

Speed-linking for the four-string set… I tend to be fairly six-string-centric around here, but yesterday I came across so many interesting bass guitar links I thought I’d better lay ‘em down for you. Marshall this week announced a new line of bass amplifiers, titled the MB Series. The amps appear to run the full gamut, from the [...]

Video Demos From The Big Boys… What’s Taking So Long?

For the last few weeks I’ve been watching Paul Reed Smith Guitars (PRS) add high-quality video demos to their various guitar product pages, and it got me thinking––what the heck’s taken so long? Smaller guitar/gear manufacturers like Eastwood and Headstrong have managed to create significant buzz around their new products by fully leveraging the power of [...]

Speed Linking: Fender’s Obnoxious New Site, Budda’s Superdrive 45, Reverend Manta Ray

14. June 2007

Uggh, Fender re-designed their site last weekend, and IMHO it’s a major step backwards––while their old look was classy, clean, and full of vintage vibe, the current re-design looks like it’s pretty much aimed at the teenage ADD crowd. Note to Fender: websites that blast loud music at you without giving you time to turn down [...]

The MiniMay… What More Can I Say, Right?

12. June 2007

Hehe… OK, I’ve come across a number of interesting looking travel guitars over the years, but this one is probably the coolest. Yep, it’s a wee miniature version of Queen guitarist Brian May’s legendary Red Special, built by Brian May Guitars, and aptly titled the MiniMay. Unfortunately, there isn’t a whole lot in the way of specs [...]

Too cool––you’ve gotta’ love the dedication and devotion that some people have for their funky old guitars… Peter over at The Practice Room posted a link to The Harmony Database this morning and I just had to share it with you, as I’m a huge fan of Harmony guitars. I own two of Harmony’s acoustic models––the [...]
