Being a son of the South and raised right here in Atlanta, this guitar really gets me excited. Why, you ask? Well first off, there isn't another Kiss fan more rabid than I (outside of Ray, of course). It was Ray and I (before we even knew each other)...details
Simply put, this guitar is a work of art. Everything about it screams "pay attention to me" and now that you have the aesthetics taken care of, the rest is up to you. The twin DiMarzio DP103's produce a tone that you have to hear to believe and the ...details
Tony Zemaitis designed the Zemaitis Pearl Front to complement his eye-catching Metal Front electric guitars. These top of the range guitars became another signature model for Tony. The first Zemaitis Pearl Front was made for Ronnie Wood when he was i...details
We checked out the descriptions and prices of the other SoCo Deluxe's currently available and in almost every instance, the text is merely copied from the Collings website and the price is over 5k. But not so fast, my friends! You all should know by ...details
I don't know what it is with these finely crafted Collings solidbodies, but they excel in every category, from appearance to tone. Dare I say, "Les Paul killer"? The woods used to create this guitar are superior, from the highly figured Madagascar Ro...details
For the love of God and all that's holy, this guitar embellishes everything that is cool and was cool about Leo's brain child, the Telecaster. Made of solid one piece Ash and more Titanium that is allowed on the space shuttle, this guitar is nothing ...details
So I'm standing in the 'Elk booth at this past Fall Philadelphia Guitar Show when I hear a woman's voice coo, "Ooh, it's so big". I turned around and said, "Lady, I sure do appreciate the sentiment, bit I'm happily married". All I saw were a set of a...details
"Is that a Benedetto?" Lee and I both turned and looked at the door. There was our technician extraordinaire, Supa Jake with a big smile on his face. "Supa Jake, you know doggone well it is" chimed Lee and it was at that moment when all three of us f...details
** ON HOLD FOR KING SCOTT ** In presenting this guitar, I'm not going to talk about KISS. Not one word about how big of fans Lee and I are, no chatter about how many shows we've attended over the years or how we fina...details
** NEW ARRIVAL ** It's a documented fact that Lee loves Ibanez Icemans, especially the mighty, original PS-10. He's had many over the years and once owned the very one pictured with Paul on the second large KISS coll...details
** NEW ARRIVAL ** This one had us stumped for a minute because, although we've seen and played more than our share of 80's metal guitars, they usually followed a pattern when it came to features and details. Not so w...details
Here's a beautiful and early example of Steve Helgeson's work over at Moonstone: a stunning 1982 Eclipse Standard. On the very rare occasions we run across one of his guitars, we're always knocked out by the exquisite beauty of the Western burled map...details
The bottom line on these 513s is, you either love them or you're playing a Jackson Rhoads V. It possesses the combination of 5 pickups and 13 different available tones, so it's obviously a gearhead's dream. It only takes a short while to get a grasp ...details
Lee and I have always loved these early PRS guitars. There is just something about the quality of the early maple tops, combined with the Brazilian fretboards that make them special. The short heel, sweet switch and small signature are also features ...details
Time to get your jangle jangle on with this exceptionally clean Ricky 330. There's no surprises here- the guitar plays and sounds exactly like you would expect of an early 90s model and it's clean, clean, clean! The original case contains the case ca...details
I'd say that we've had more than our share of Rickys over the years, but we've never has a blue 330 so when we saw this one at the Dallas Guitar show, we just couldn't resist scooping it. You all know the deal with these "jangle jangle" machines, but...details
When we first acquired this guitar, the main thing that jumped out at us was the fretboard. It's incredibly figured (for your typical Ricky 360) and I could not, for the life of me identify the wood. I did know one thing though: it was cool and unusu...details
