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 →
So… when you see AC/DC live… you see tons of guitar cabs, and you have to wonder… how are these people pushing all these cabs?? Well… That I don’t know… however… you can do this at home pretty easily, given... 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 →
Yes, another custom shop added to the collection. Is this different to my other 61 Custom Shop? Yes… For starters.. the colour is different, 61 CS Standards used to have this very light cherry colour with a fine nitro finish,... 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 →
The late part of 1963 was an important year for the SG, this is when the SG earned its own identity, they stopped calling it “les paul” and it also lost the “les paul” branded truss rod cover. Some say... 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 →
Don’t be a knob snob, that is my advice and second advice is... follow suggestions to prove them wrong or right. I don’t have much patience when it comes to trying things out, usually I just try to plug in... Continue Reading →
Review of a classic... this pedal has been around for ages, more precisely it was released in the 70s and according to Wikipedia it instantly became a "Nashville Standard" I've only had this pedal for 6 months or so, so... Continue Reading →
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 →
