It’s not every day you see new guitar models from Swedish Hagstrom Guitars (makers of the famous Super Swede and of course the Fantomen which the ghouls of Ghost rocks out on as their signature guitar) but they’re going to present the double-cut Megin and the offset Adina at the Guitar Summit 2024 in Mannheim, […]

Ibanez just launched a new look for their Tim Henson (of Polyphia fame) signature guitar TOD10: Metallic Mauve. I had to look up what ‘mauve’ was to be honest, and I got “A moderate grayish violet to reddish purple” and I can see that. I guess ‘pale pink’ would work too, though, but I like […]

I’ve been looking into trying out one of all the DIY guitar kits available these days and considering the quality I’ve experienced from Harley Benton‘s regular guitars I’m pleased to see they offer a few kits as well (including a solid, rectangular block one if you want to REALLY do it all yourself). One nice […]

Here’s a new launch from Solar Guitars: The Solar A1.7 TBOP-29. As the name implies – if you decode it a bit – it’s a 7-stringed A1/Type A model with Tri-Burst and Open Pore matte finish. Oh, and 29″ scale of course. Besides that fantastic finish you get a swamp ash body with a set-through […]

This could be pretty interesting: Blackstar Amps just launched Polar 2, a 2-channel USB-C audio interface made specifically for guitarists, targeting some common woes when recording our precious instruments, and audio qualities aside you gotta love when audio interfaces manage to look both stylish and durable. It features two FET (field effect transistor) inputs, “designed […]

The modern masked outlaw artist Orville Peck (famous for songs like Dead of Night and Midnight Ride) has received his own limited edition signature Gretsch Falcon model with string-through Bigsby trem. This hollow body is only available in a really great looking “Oro Sparkle finish”, featuring a gold flaked white metallic over a pale gold […]

As a recent aficionado of humbucker-sized P90s – they can really transform the sound of a guitar if you haven’t tried one yet – these look extremely interesting: Seymour Duncan’s new Hot + Vintage Phat Cat Silencer humbucker-sized P90s. Now, they’ve had the humbucker-sized Phat Cat before, but these aims at being noiseless, which probably […]

Considering the level of quality you can get out of more affordable guitars these days it’s always thrilling to see what companies comes up with in that segment. Here’s ESP LTD 200DX, a line of six guitars / three models that’ll set you back a mere $399 and I’ve got to say the finishes look […]

As a new owner to a PRS SE McCarty 594 I’m absolutely loving what PRS is doing with their SE models lately: PRS Guitars just launched the PRS SE NF3, a guitar with the neck and body assembly taken from the SE Silver Sky but with parts of it goes all the way back to […]

I’ve never really understood Ibanez’ way of naming their models, but they sure look good. Here’s the AZ47P1QM Premium (really rolls off your tongue, doesn’t it?) available with quilted maple tops in either Dragon Eye burst and a dark Black Ice burst. I remember someone claiming that Ibanez’ AZ line of guitars were named just […]
