ESP LTD Deluxe EC-1000 Review
Written by admin on March 23, 2010 – 12:03 am -The ESP LTD Deluxe EC-1000 guitar The first thing that caught my eye was the factory EMG pickups and quilted tops. The EC-1000 comes standard with EMG 81 and 60 pickups. The EC-1000 is very lightweight and comfortable in feel with its Mahogany body and Rosewood fret board. The metal given tone of this fine guitar will melt faces without melting your pocket book. With its screaming high’s and deep mid’s and warm bass tones the EC-1000 will steal the show. Along with the amazing pickups, the EC-1000 houses a 24-3/4? set neck with a thin U contour. The Rosewood fret board is sleek and fast to the touch. The EC-1000 come standard with 24 extra jumbo frets and abalone flag fret markers. The TonePros locking tune-O-matic bridge will keep you... more

Jimi Hendrix Valleys of Neptune Review
Written by admin on March 20, 2010 – 4:24 pm -"Hendrix" - Valleys of Neptune - Jimi Hendrix, guitar; Noel Redding, bass; Billy Cox, bass; Mitch Mitchell, drums; Rocky Isaac, drums - Sony Legacy, 62 minutes ****1/2: The new Jimi Hendrix album is probably the best of his posthumous releases. It contains twelve tracks of never-before-released tunes and alternate takes on previously-released material. The music has the feel of completion, far more so than his other posthumous albums like Cry of Love, War Heroes, and Loose Ends. I heard one cut live in November of 1968 and later wondered why it had never made it onto an album: Sunshine of Your Love. It’s an instrumental version of Cream's best-selling song. The first thing you notice is the faster tempo; the second of course is Hendrix’s... more

Fender Classic Player Telecaster Thinline Deluxe Review
Written by admin on March 7, 2010 – 9:07 pm -By Dave Durban, Guitarist Magazine These Wide range humbuckers are an entirely new, updated design The Thinline Deluxe combines two of the guitar world's most classic designs – the Telecaster and Gibson's ES-335. In the construction stakes Fender has excelled with all the Classic Player series guitars, but the Thinline is even better. The overall fit and finish is genuinely superb, especially considering its price. Moreover, a silky black finish is entirely blemish-free, even around the tricky f-hole. Just like the original, we have a more traditional slab Tele body – unlike the solid Deluxe there's no belly contour. However, thanks to its semi-solid design, it's light and comfortable; even lighter than many originals we've encountered. "Blues... more
