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, […]

Tim Henson’s Ibanez TOD10 now available in Metallic Mauve (or, pale pink?)

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).

PRS SE NF3: Want a Silver Sky with triple humbuckers?

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 […]

Ibanez AZ Premium in Dragon Eye and Black Ice Burst

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 […]

Wolfgang Van Halen’s Signature EVH SA-126 Special

Here’s Wolfgang Van Halen‘s new signature guitar: The semi-hollow EVH SA-126 Special. Fun side-fact: The number 126 bears significance since Wolfgang’s dad, Eddie, named his signature guitar ‘Wolfgang’ after his son, and now his son set the model number after Eddie’s birthday, January 26th.
