I won't go into practice or warmup methods... but more so... preparing for comfort. Even though I am not a prepared person... like... I don't plan ahead much and I'm not an OCD type either, but preparing your bag and... Continue Reading →
2nd special SG in my collection, the first one was the ebony board one and this one.. was an accident. I tend to place bids and then forget about them, 99% of the times I usually lose the bid… but... Continue Reading →
Debatable! Of course… probably the most debatable subject on guitars, us musicians are weird people, we love one thing today and hate the same thing tomorrow and we start tweaking things until we go “oh man.. I loved how this... Continue Reading →
Spent last Sunday at the Birmingham Guitar Show here in the UK, it was a great day, the place was buzzing and there were loads of stands. ATB had their display of vintage guitars including two 1960 Les Pauls at... Continue Reading →
Last week was my 40th birthday, I spent a great week with my wife, my kids (I didn’t have kids when I started this blog) we did all sorts of things, but every year I buy something for myself… like... Continue Reading →
These are cute, aren’t they? Like little monsters before they get angry and start roaring! The SV20H is part of the new series of Marshall, attempting to deliver classic rock sounds at friendly volume levels, they also have a re-vamp... Continue Reading →
Ah yes, Malcolm Young, the oil that made the AC/DC engine run. Ever since Gretsch launched their tribute to Malcolm… I’ve been annoyed with them, I felt 10 grand was way too much and not targeted to the real fans... Continue Reading →
Continuing with the Rack units... but... I’m not getting a rack... I’ll just use them as heads... Man is this thing powerful or what?!? So... specs are: weighs around 22 kgs it has 2 output transformers capable of delivering 2x... Continue Reading →
Yes... another SG, this one took me a while to get, and I sold a few to get it, I found my self having 9 SGs and only using 3 or 4, it seemed wrong and I wasn’t comfortable with... Continue Reading →
I've never been a Fender fan.... I love many players that play fender... but I never got used to the scale Fender uses compared to a Gibson, it always took me too long to get used to it when switching... Continue Reading →
This next experience is related to a few gibson SGs and humbucker pickups. Do you know what's inside your guitar? It's safe to say that we all know more than before... you can find anything on the internet about your... Continue Reading →
This SG belongs to the loved/hated Norlin era. This means it was built between 1970 and sometime around 1986, loads of guitar enthusiasts hate this era and they will swear that they are the worst guitars Gibson has ever built,... Continue Reading →
This is definitely an odd one, it is a Squier by fender (like all Squiers claim to be) but it's not only that. The guitar just looks weird doesn't it? well.. there are a couple of reasons for that. Back... Continue Reading →
So... Of course your question is... "what the hell is an Epiphone doing here?..." Well, I like Epiphones, and let's be honest... loads of us have started this amazing hobby/profession using an Epiphone or a Squier. But this is no... Continue Reading →
Apart from the Gibson SG (of course) this is probably my favourite guitar. Eric Clapton used this exact model on his tour around the late 80s. The main difference with a normal Stratocaster is the pickups and the wiring, it... Continue Reading →
