Guitar Player Reviews Three New PRS SE Model Guitars

19. October 2007

Well, the busy folks over at Paul Reed Smith (PRS) agreed to send me an SE One for review a few months back, but unfortunately the guitar has never materialized, and to be honest, with the chaos I’ve been through recently I probably won’t have time for another hands-on review for at least the next [...]

Video Demo Of The New Electro-Harmonix Micro POG

18. October 2007

6 Comments

When Electro-Harmonix announced the release of their new Micro POG effects pedal––essentially a miniaturized version of their incredibly cool POG polyphonic octave generator––I had to wonder how they were going to replicate the original pedal’s functionality in such a small configuration. As a dyed-in-the-wool Electro Harmonix fan I came about this close to purchasing the [...]

Guitar Player’s Video Review Of The Campbell American Caledonian

5. October 2007

0 Comments

Just finished watching Guitar Player Magazine’s recent video review of the Caledonian––one of Campbell American’s newer models. I take a keen interest in pretty much everything Campbell American does these days, because when I did my hands-on review of their first model, the Precix, back in August of ’06, I really fell head over heels [...]

Rare Find: Moonlander Stereo Drone-Guitar For Sonic Youth’s Lee Ranaldo

Noise-guitarist extraordinaire Lee Ranaldo of Sonic Youth, is apparently the happy recipient of this custom built Moonlander guitar from experimental luthier Yuri Landman. The instrument, one of just two in existence (Landman owns the other,) is a bi-headed stereo drone guitar armed with a whopping 18 strings––6 standard and 12 sympathetic. While the six standard [...]

A Closer Look At Guitar Of The Week #37 :: The ’67 SG Special Reissue w/P-90′s

4. October 2007

7 Comments

Over the past thirty-seven weeks Gibson’s put out a few real lookers, a few clunkers, and a wide array of just so-so semi-customized Guitar Of The Week instruments, but yesterday’s release of the ’67 SG Special Reissue with P-90 pickups is easily the one guitar from this program that I’d really like to own. Week [...]

Over the weekend EGR reader Jarrod Perkins left us a great review of his new Limited Edition Gibson SG-3 Fireburst (Guitar Of The Week #21,) and I thought I’d post it here so more of you would get to read it. Enjoy–– So my SG3 arrived yesterday. After giving it a proper workout, I’m very [...]

Guitar World Reviews New Fender Princeton Recording Amp

28. September 2007

1 Comment

There’s an excellent review of Fender’s new Princeton Recording Amp over at Guitar World right now, so if you’re into the whole low-power/big-tone tube amp thing like I am, you might want to check it out. As usual, they’ve got a pretty decent demo video as well, though getting it to buffer smoothly can be [...]

Speed Linking: The Nash Firecaster, BYOC’s New Compressor, Gibson’s VOS Series

17. September 2007

0 Comments

Well, if it seems like I wasn’t around much last week you’re absolutely right… I was up to my eyeballs working on a seriously long review of the optical pedals that Guyatone recently sent me. Anyway, you can expect the review to go live sometime this week (with lots of sound samples,) possibly even tomorrow. [...]
