Did the Crossroads theory contribute to Jimi Hendrix’s possible murder…

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

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..

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?

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

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

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

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

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

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 [...]
