Derek Trucks and his band (with Susan Tedeschi) dropped into the studio at World Cafe Live today and recorded three live tunes. Check it out. Derek's playing is an awe-inspiring experience, and these songs confirm that. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=99800401

I have my Line 6 Uber Metal distortion pedal up for sale. The tone was not my cup of tea -- solid pedal, though, and interchangable with other Line 6 Tone Core modules. It is like new and comes in the original box with all packing and paperwork. I would like to offer it up here before it goes...

This is kind of old, but G.E. Smith has always been someone I have idolized as a teen in the 80's -- his gig on SNL and his work with Hall and Oates and Bob Dylan. There is something about GE's cool personality and musical vita that screams rock-n-roll. And his Tele promo video makes me want...

I have been looking for a $200.00 Tele and the Peavey Generation really caught my eye (and ear). It blends contemporary looks with a vintage vibe and stinging Tele tone. This video has me looking around for one of these. The Generation EX is now on my short list.:dude...

I posted this over at FDP but thought the fine folks at The Fret would have good advice. . . I am GASsing for another '51. I have owned and modded four '51s in the past two years. I have a GFS bridge, tuners, and black pickguard waiting for a '51. The only place I see them for sale is on...

This guitar was $149.99 at Sam Ash.com. I bought it with the purpose of swapping the neck and keeping the rest stock. The 24- hour outcome was as follows: I loved the playability and tone of the guitar. It played smoothly, the neck profile was perfect for me. The pickups sounded full and...

I bought a new Mighty Mite Fender licensed neck for my Kramer Strat. It has the vintage "V" profile and med-jumbo frets. I got a great deal on it. Once I get the neck, I will show pics and give updates on the feel and tone. :D

In looking for a more portable, medium-size and weight amp that offers a plurality of effect choices, I decided to try the Behringer GMX210. It is a 2x10 stereo 30x30 watt amp that offers analog modeling and 99 effect parameters assignable to two separate, footswitchable channels. On paper it...

I spend a lot of time watching children's television with my three-year-old son. Being that I grew up watching Fred Rogers, I choose this show for us to watch at times. My son now loves watching it, too. But if you sit and really open your ears to the jazz piano playing throughout the show...

I was fortunate enough to use a Line 6 Spider III 75 for a few weeks. While I had it, I recorded some clips and put them up on YouTube (you can see them in my link below). I was impressed with most of the sounds and questioned why some people were so skeptical of the Line 6 Spider amps. I did...

Dear Fret.net Members, I just recently joined thefret.net at the invitation of Robert. Originally, I tapped into his dolphinstreet.com site for awesome gear reviews and playing hints. When I found Robert's myspace, he mentioned thefret.net. I have to say this is a very friendly place and...

I am considering two possible Strats (within my budget) and would like to hear your thoughts. 1. Squier® Affinity Series Stratocaster Special Electric Guitar - pros: cost $149.99 at MF...

I went into Guitar Center yesterday and played an electric blue Standard Strat with a rosewood fingerboard. It caught my eye due to its $284.00 US price tag. It was a 2006 version, so it had hotter pickups, bigger frets, and a heavier trem block. I played it for about an hour, and although...
