29. January 2007

A number of readers have been asking for more information on Marshall’s new Vintage Modern and JVM series of amplifiers, so I was pleasantly surprised this morning to find that Marshall has posted some fairly in-depth mpeg demos of these two eagerly-awaited new amp models on their website. The demo includes a nearly 20-minute hands-on [...]

If you’re a fan of Eastwood’s funky guitar remakes & reissues you’ll definitely want to check out last year’s February 2006 ToneQuest Report––they ran a great interview with Eastwood founder Mike Robinson (with tons of great info for the retro guitar freak,) not to mention an in-depth review of four of Eastwood’s guitars: the Stormbird, [...]

A couple months back Guitar Player Magazine ran an in-depth review of Mesa Boogie’s new all-tube combo, the Lonestar Special, which left me absolutely drooling to get my hands on one of these retro-tan beauties.

Is it just me, or does it seem like every major amplifier manufacturer is pumping out their own Class A tube amp these days?

This morning I was lucky enough to stumble onto Guitar One Magazine’s new video review of the Airline Town & Country DLX––one of Eastwood’s recent remakes of the classic Valco, Supro & National guitars, albeit with higher quality hardware and a chambered mahogany body, among other upgrades. While original Res-O-Glas Valco’s continue to fetch upwards [...]

If the comments on one of my recent posts are any indication, there seems to be a whole lot of confusion over what exactly Gibson’s new HD 6X Digital Les Paul has to offer, and how exactly the guitar can be integrated into a digital workflow (yikes… I just used the words “workflow” & “guitar” [...]

Wow, it is truly amazing how time flies by… today marks the five-year Anniversary of the passing of one of the world’s most influential guitar players of all time––George Harrison. Of course, he was far more than a great guitarist, being an incredible lyricist & singer as well, not to mention a true humanitarian. The [...]
