I really like what Gretsch is doing these days: Here’s the new ten-time Grammy Award winner Jack Antonoff’s signature guitar dubbed the Gretsch Limited Edition Jack Antonoff Princess Electromatic CVT (phew, that really rolls off your tongue). If the Antonoff name is unfamiliar to you he worked with a lot of legends like Paramore, Taylor […]

If there’s one thing I’ve learned that a lot of people have a lot of feelings regarding Joe Bonamassa, but regardless of that, his latest collaboration with Epiphone looks absolutely stunning. It’s the Joe Bonamassa 1955 Les Paul Standard in a really interesting color: copper iridescent (think a blend of brown and gold that changes […]

Fender worked together with Capcom to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the game Monster Hunter with a special limited edition Telecaster, or more specifically the fire dragon Rathalos – a monster featured in the game. Now, I’m not gonna lie, I thought this looked more like Christmas decorations to begin with but maybe it makes […]

German modern shred titan Manuel Gardner Fernandes just got a new headless signature guitar, the Ibanez MGFM10 (he’s been using a headless Ibanez QX54QM and an AZ before, as far as I know). While originally becoming a star through Instagram and Youtube, he’s made a name of himself through his progressive metal band Unprocessed. If […]

It never ceases to amaze me how many different models Ola Englund’s Solar Guitars manage to pump out with exceptional features. Here’s the lean, mean A1.6 RHW and A1.6 RHC shredding machines, for instance. These aim to be among their premium and top-of-the-line models but still aren’t as expensive as I thought they would be, […]

Gibson just revamped the Les Paul Studio for 2024. The LP Studio was introduced back in 1983 when Gibson noticed a lack in their lineup for a more lower-priced guitar, so the Studio was born to attract players that wanted that genuine Les Paul sound without necessarily wanting to pay for the looks and features […]

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 […]
