    My last guitar? (Reverend content)

    It's highly likely. I've been wanting a Reverend Daredevil for a long time. A couple of weeks ago I noticed one on Elderly's used instruments page, and I decided if it was still there by my next payday, it would mean the universe wanted me to have it. That was clearly the case. It's from...

    Vox Night Train

    This looks pretty interesting. 15 or 7.5 watts, two 12ax7s and two el84s, cute and portable. List price £425.00, or about $626. Not bad. I'm very tempted. http://namm09.musicradar.com/news/introducing-the-vox-night-train/ http://www.voxamps.com/uk/modernclassic/nighttrain/

    Crate V18 Reverb

    I just now replaced the crappy two-spring reverb tank in my V18 with an Accutronics 4EB2C1B four-spring tank. The amp is transformed. There's no more godawful sproinginess; the reverb is usable through the whole range of the knob. You've got to try this. It's a shame Crate skimped on the...

    George Carlin on the blues

    Mods: if this topic strays too close to the no politics/controversy rule, please delete it and accept my apologies. A friend and I have been discussing this video of George Carlin (Not embedding because it's pretty raw). To summarize: "White people got no business playin' the blues ever, at...

    Name your band and first album!

    I found this on another forum I'm on. 1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:random The article title is the name of your band. 2. http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3 The last four words of the very last quote is the title of your album. 3...

    New Jagmaster and corporate self-esteem

    So I walked into Guitar Center last night to buy strings, and I walked out with a new Jagmaster. I'm a weak, weak consumer. As I was taking the tags off and removing the film from the pickguard, I noticed this odd little sticker on the heel plate: Here's a closer look: It's a trash can...

    A Gretsch Electromatic Corvette...

    ...is my crush. Has anybody played one? From the reviews I've read it seems like a very lovely creature indeed.

    2008: The Year that Wahs

    So after a merry half-hour on Christmas annoying the bejezus out of my family with my brother-in-law's Crybaby, I've decided I need a wah. What is the conventional wisdom on what should I get? Is the fasel inductor really worth the extra money? Are the extra controls on the 535Q and the Crybaby...

    Townshend's guitar smashing means something different from Hendrix's

    "I could sit up here all night and say, 'thank you thank you thank you' ... but it's one of them things, man, you know, one of these things, well, dig, I just can't do that. So what I'm going to do, I'm going to sacrifice something right here that I really love, ok?" (And he kisses the guitar...

    Nile demo videos

    Now, I know most of you aren't into death metal, and if that's the case you should probably just move along and find something else to entertain yourself with. But for the two or three other people here that are into it, check this out: Dallas Toller-Wade and Karl Sanders from Nile demoing some...

    Xaviere XV600

    What it is: a semi-hollow-body telecaster-shaped guitar. Mine is surf green with cream-colored P90 pickups and a maple fretboard. Unlike the standard thinline tele, this guitar is built more like a Gibson 335, i.e. separate sides, back, and top (all thin maple laminate) with a poplar block...

    Studio gig

    I did a fair bit of work on Maggie Sansone's new album Celtic Fair earlier this year, and I just saw that she's got it up on CD Baby, which means you can go and hear samples of all the tracks: click. That's me playing guitar, flute, and button accordion. Maggie plays hammer dulcimer and does...

    Michael Angelo Batio

    In the mood for a really good trapeze act? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rutyA12z3Ok http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qG74eVb6V10

    Kustom 12 gauge

    I'm just about ready to get one of these: click 10 watts, 12" speaker, reverb, delay, $100. Plus the mild-yet-appealing perversity of buying a guitar amp from Amazon. I figure there's not much to lose, but what do you all think? A guy I knew had a Kustom amp that I liked a lot, but that was 20...

    Tom Morello

    Hey! It's June!

    And you know what that means, don't you? That's right! It's ACCORDION AWARENESS MONTH! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBmajjf5WKE

    Some diddley tunes

    This isn't really guitar-centric, but you all might enjoy it anyway. It's my former band Roaring Mary playing at Star Hill Music Hall in Charlottesville, VA in 2001. The set of tunes we're doing starts with a Scottish jig, then goes into a Quebecois reel, then finishes off with a tune by Bela...

    John 5...

    ...playing a cute little country tune, incorporating sweep picking, behind-the-nut bends, two-hand tapping, harmonics, and a dose of general wackiness. Every time I hear John 5's playing I like him more. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPxOznGQcdU
