Fender Road Worn Player Series Telecaster Electric Guitar Review | fender road worn player telecaster
Written by admin on March 28, 2011 – 7:21 pm -by Adam Perlmutter, Premier Guitar The Player Series Tele marries vintage look and affordability with modern features When Fender introduced its Custom Shop Relic models in the mid-90s, few could have guessed how big the market for relics would become. Guitarists by the score craved vintage authenticity and new-guitar reliability in the same instrument. Replete with strategically placed arm-wear; nicks, dings, and checking; corroded hardware; and other signs of extensive use, Fender’s relics could be dead ringers for their vintage inspirations. But most importantly, these guitars cost a fraction of the price of their predecessors and unlike vintage instruments, were replaceable—handy for touring guitarists who didn’t want to take their... more

Gibson announces the release of 3 acoustic guitars to celebrate John Lennon’s birthday | gibson john lennon
Written by admin on September 21, 2010 – 1:58 am -By Jim Dalrymple On October 9, 2010, John Lennon would have been 70 years old. To celebrate the occasion, Gibson partnered with Yoko Ono to release three new acoustic guitars. Made by the luthiers at Gibson’s Montana acoustic guitar facility, the Lennon guitars represent three periods of the musicians life and career. The first guitar is a Vintage Sunburst that Lennon used in 1963 and 1964 to record “Please Please Me,” “With The Beatles” and “A Hard Day’s Night.” Lennon couldn’t afford to buy the original guitar and had to get a loan from Beatles manager Brian Epstein. I’m glad he did. The John Lennon J-160VS includes a 70th Anniversary John Lennon MOP signature on the headstock, a 1960?s laminated Sitka Spruce Top, mahogany... more

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.

He's had a two songs on a Twilight soundtrack, but has spent most of his time focusing on his acting career, despite his desire to release his own album.

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

Fender Classic Telecaster Deluxe Review | fender telecaster
Written by admin on February 21, 2010 – 8:04 pm -by Dave Durban, Guitarist Magazine Why has Fender chosen to revisit the Telecaster Deluxe? "For many years the Stratocaster was more dominant," confirms Fender's marketing director Justin Norvell, "but the Tele has been gaining for several years now - all the more reason to expand our selection of Telecasters!" The Deluxe Black Dove utilizes the same template as its vibrato-equipped sibling, but this time around the name comes from Fender's DE-9000 P-90-style single-coil pickups. They certainly evoke a classic rock vibe and the black pickup covers, especially with the black three-ply scratch plate and crimson red finish, give the guitar a classic SG quality. That said we would love to see this one in sunburst. Sounds With the bridge position... more

50th Anniversary 1960 Gibson Les Paul Standard
Written by admin on February 9, 2010 – 3:28 am -50th Anniversary 1960 Les Paul Standard It might seem laughable, even absurd, that the guitar world’s failure to appreciate the original Les Paul would lead to its deletion from the Gibson line up after 1960, but so it often goes with creations that are so far ahead of their time. Just a few years later, scores of groundbreaking artists would discover the incomparable power of this instrument, and its premature scarcity would also make it an extremely valuable guitar while the model was really still just a toddler, thus rendering it the first collectible “vintage” electric guitar. Fast forward 50 years, and the Les Paul of 1958-’60 has become the most prized electric guitar on the planet. But to say “the” Les Paul is actually somewhat... more
