Yay, I finally get to post something about Baum Guitars: This fresh (10 years is still regarded as fresh in the guitar world, right?) guitar company from Denmark just won gold at the 2024 New York Product Design Award for their Wingman guitar among a pool of over 1,000 other submissions and to me that […]

This guitar ought to come with a steady tequila sunrise drink! Schecter has partnered up with Freak Juice’s Tori Ruffin (who’s been with Morris Day and The Time for 25 years and written and performed with artists like Mick Jagger, Lenny Kravitz, Michael Jackson, Prince, and Mariah Carey) and launched his signature guitar, aptly named […]

Gibson just revealed the latest collaboration with one of their biggest ambassadors, Slash: The absolute classic “Jessica” 1987 Les Paul Standard, a new model based on his honey burst with red back famous from Welcome To The Jungle, Paradise City and Sweet Child O’ Mine. I mean, Slash has been rocking that thing since the […]

Solar Guitars just revealed their first made-in-Spain Chop Shop release for 2024: The Solar AB1.6FR “Chrome Canibalismo”. The most spectacular thing about this metal axe is that it is in fact covered in metal, and the finish takes quite a while to cure and harden so the appearance will change naturally over time. They have […]

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. Now, they’re only offering one guitar line at the moment: ULV (ulv being an ancient word for “wolf” in Swedish) which is available as both 6 string and 8 string, both with true temperament fretboards for […]

Epiphone just launched two new bursts to their line of Les Paul Modern Figured guitars and I think these look absolutely stellar to be honest; the Mojave Burst and the Purple Burst. The Modern Figured line features a traditional Les Paul (also available as SG’s, if that’s more your thing and they look equally stellar) […]

Oh wow, while Schecter released another Avenged Sevenfold signature guitar a while back, the extremely well-behaved and, in comparison, well-combed Zacky Vengeance SG-style ZV, this time we go with another Synyster Gates signature. Schecter calls this Synyster Custom-S “Distressed Satin Black” and yeah, I think I can sign off on that. This thing looks like […]

Say what you want about Swedish guitar makers Strandberg but they sure have become top of mind for many of us when it comes to headless and ergonomic guitars. 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 […]
