Gretsch G5422TG Snow crest White

Maybe some day I will understand Gretsch’s naming convention, but who cares… they make some of the coolest looking guitars out there! My main motivation for buying Gretsch’s is to get closer to Malcolm’s sound, I already have his number... Continue Reading →

Gretsch G5222

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 →

Mesa Simul 295

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 →

Truly Matchless

Big year this one, I finally managed to acquire a Matchless amplifier, something I’ve been wanting for a looooong time. Being totally honest... I loved the way the look, that was the main reason I wanted them, something that looks... Continue Reading →

Being in a successful band

Success is whatever makes you and the people that surround you happy. Most of us want to play in a band, most of us started playing because the band was there first, some of us are no longer in that... Continue Reading →

The Fender Telecaster Elite

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 →

Reading material

It's pretty obvious that I'm a Gibson SG fan, and as soon as I saw this book coming out I had to have it. The best thing about it it's that it's new... so you'll find up to date info  and... Continue Reading →

Ohhhh the pick!

I'm not trying to be "picky"  but... plectrums are important. They are the ones responsible of translating our amazing right hand ability to our strings, and we can never have enough of them. I've decided a few weeks ago to... Continue Reading →

Is it worth buying the real deal?

We choose this "profession" because we like music... and we probably have a favourite band and a favourite musician, and this guy/girl will use certain type of gear, so when we start our guitar playing journey we always try to sound like... Continue Reading →

Keeping your guitars safe

We all love our guitars (main reason why you visit this great website) but one of the issues I had in the past was... storing them, because we don't want to actually store them, we want to have them handy... Continue Reading →

Marshall Code

So, a few weeks ago Marshall posted on their official Facebook account that on the 21st of January they where going to "change the world" again or something like that, when I saw that I got really anxious and I honestly... Continue Reading →

1979 Gibson SG Standard

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 →

Schecter Demon 6 FR

First time I own a guitar from this brand, bought it a few years ago in a music store, I had very little budget and was looking for used instruments, the guy said "I have this guitar that has a few dings... Continue Reading →

Marshall Class 5

The little beast. I've always wanted one of these boutique looking Marshalls, I've had JCM 900, JTM30, etc. you name it. But this one just looks awesome. Don't be fooled by the fact that it's only a 5 watt amp,... Continue Reading →

1971 Gibson SG Standard

Iconic guitar and of course my favourite. This is not just a great example of Gibson's craftsmanship but it is also Angus Young's first SG, featuring the addition of the volute to the headstock and the "made in USA" stamp,... Continue Reading →
