I’m compelled to answer the second part of the comment on Jimi Hendrix’s Murder.. “All of this makes me think of the crossroad legend. Maybe Jimi made his best deal, and the devil came to get him when his time was up”.
The Crossroads legend and Robert Johnson. Some people say Robert Johnson met the ‘Devil’ [...]

Paul Reed Smith 24 Fret Guitar Review
February 4, 2009 – 12:16 pm
I would be surprised if very many of my readers have had the great opportunity to play a PRS guitar, having it in your possession long enough to get comfortable with it and get to know it. It is a lot different than walking into a guitar store and playing a guitar for a half [...]
Choose the Guitar Neck Scale Length That Fits..
December 1, 2008 – 10:48 am
The neck of a guitar can come in several overall lengths. The part of the neck we are concerned with is the scale length. What is the point of discussing scale length? The laws of physics (which I know little) suggest that the longer the strings the deeper or lower the note, or fatter [...]
Got an Interest in PRS Guitars?
November 3, 2008 – 12:10 pm
More that a few guitar players were interested in my post on the New Releases from Paul Reed Smith Guitars. Asking, “what makes a Paul Reed Smith Guitar so special?” What are the main differences in models. What are the specifications of each model? I think these are valid questions. If you are in the [...]
New Releases from Paul Reed Smith Guitars
September 25, 2008 – 4:34 pm
One benefit of having a no cost subscription to Guitar Players Center is that you would know that I recently had the pleasure of playing A Paul Reed Smith Guitar, a McCarty with Indian rosewood neck. Also has Wagner (WCR) Goodwood pickups in it. Dark Cherry Sunburst is the finish, I can provide some pics [...]
Baby Taylor Mahogany Top Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar Review
June 19, 2008 – 8:39 am
Can a smaller sized guitar produce the same full tones and sound a full sized guitar produces? Not an easy question to answer since we all hear sounds differently. The better manufacturers such as Taylor and Martin Guitars say yes, and agreeably so in my estimation. Obviously the sound of a smaller guitar [...]
Un-Biased ’60’s Era Fender ‘Voodoo” Strat Review
June 12, 2008 – 11:36 am
My intentions were simple, it seemed. Go to Guitar Center in Rockville Md. and play a couple of guitars for review purposes. Actually my intent was to play a few brands that I’m not familiar with, ones however you asked me to review. It’s not my first trip to check their axe collection out, if [...]
Why an Un Biased Realistic Online Review is in Your Best Interest
May 12, 2008 – 10:48 am
Lets Get The Facts Straight!
What is the value of a really good unbiased online review? To coin a phrase “priceless”. Do you get tired of typing in your query of “guitar review” and coming up with a bunch of worthless reviews. I mean ones that actually confuse you and lead you farther away from [...]

First Guitar Review of The Fender “Lenny” Stratocaster
March 25, 2008 – 9:41 am
As a general rule I would not travel 1000 miles to test out a guitar. As it turned out I flew to Maryland to see my nucleic family. I love my family and it was very therapeutic for my mindset and theirs too. Pardon the interruption, but I also came back with the Flu. Excuse [...]
New Epiphone Les Paul and SG Prophecy Electric Guitars
February 21, 2008 – 11:25 am
Epiphone introduced a new line of guitars at the NAMM show this year. Based on the soon to be released date of the 3rd of March 2008, I have not actually played any of them. Well, needless to say, Epiphone has always been a great guitar at an affordable price, and these guitars really caught [...]
Yes, Now You Can Own Joe Satriani’s Guitar!
February 15, 2008 – 12:07 pm
The Master of Tone designed and plays his Signature JS Model Guitars. That almost says it all. Because if you know how exacting Joe is in getting the best tones in the business, then by definition his signature models have to be great guitars. If that doesn’t convince you, then you can see from the [...]

Squier Affinity Series Telecaster Special Electric Guitar Exceeds All Expectations
December 7, 2007 – 10:05 am
Some times I play a Squire Affinity Telecaster Special Electric Guitar. I was so impressed with how much Squire Guitars offered for the money that I purchased two of them. Squier is fully owned by The Fender Guitar Company. The Squier Guitar Company was started in 1982 by Fender as a second line brand of [...]
Custom Test Drive : Instant Love With An Eric Clapton Series Fender Stratocaster
October 31, 2007 – 10:43 am
Let me begin by saying, as a kid of 11 years of age, I was trained for four years in classical guitar by one of the best. His name was George Yeatman and he was a disciple of Aaron Shearer (The father of modern classical guitar training). I took highly disciplined classical lessons [...]
