Allright, I’m getting some serious GAS (you know… guitar acquisition syndrome) here. Epiphone just presented a whole bunch of new guitars made in collaboration with Gibson Custom: 1959 Les Paul Standard, Les Paul Custom, 1963 Les Paul SG Custom with Maestro vibrola and the semi-hollow classic 1959 ES-355. The kicker? All these Epiphones come with […]

I’m just a sucker for Gretsch aesthetics, this beauty is a limited edition semi-hollow single cut Electromatic Broadkaster Jr made as the signature guitar for Chris Rocha. Besides the good looks (it’s only available in vintage white with gold sparkle binding and gold hardware) it also sports: Watch the guitar in action in the video […]

Swedish metal guitar virtuoso Mattias “IA” Eklundh has left Caparison Guitars and started his own brand: Freak Guitar Lab.

While their guitars more often than not costs quite a fortune (they can go for everything from $3,800 to $11,000 depending on your wallet) they’ve decided […]

Allrightie, if you’re gonna try to play Stairway to Heaven and money is of absolutely no issue, this would be the guitar to do it on. Gibson has launched a collector’s edition of the Jimmy Page EDS-1275 Doubleneck and they’ll set you back a whopping $50,000. Quite the legendary 12+6 string SG that Page played […]

Well, if there’s one thing the guitar community can agree on it’s that we all feel the same about pre-relic’d guitars… right? Jokes aside, here’s Charvel‘s new Pro Mod Relic San Dimas Style1 HH FR PF series where they add a heavily pre-distressed look to the nitro lacquer, available in black, white and orange. Other […]
