Marshall 1987x

We are in constant search for our sound... and I don't think it's a one way journey... it's got many many curves, loops and we sometimes go back to places we've been, it's definitely something that characterizes us musicians, there... Continue Reading →

The 61 Reissue, best SG out there?

Why is it always that guitar manufacturers do reissues of the first year they released a design? 61 Reissue for SGs, 52 for Telecasters, 54 for Stratocasters, Les Paul is probably the exception... Whatever the reason is, it works. I've always... Continue Reading →
