DiMarzio True Velvet Vintage Prewired Electric Guitar Pickguard

Stratocaster single coils have a tone of their own. They are bright and clear. However, the clarity and volume are not even along the fretboard.

August 8, 2008

Hey guys, another cool Guitar World review from Youtube. This is on the Billie Joe Armstrong Gibson Les Paul Jr. The signature guitar is modeled closely after “Floyd,” Billie Joe’s original 1956 Les Paul Junior. With a Mahogany body and neck and Nickel hardware. Do I hear “When I come around”, “Basketcase”, “Welcome to Paradise”? :)

Epiphone Les Paul Ultra ii review by Guitar World

August 6, 2008

Hey guys. I found this cool review from Guitar World on the Epiphone Les Paul Ultra ii by Paul Riario. This guitar has the standard two humbuckers but it also has the Nanomag shadow pickup which gives acoustic sounds. Very cool guitar if you want to just bring one guitar on stage and do ‘Stairway to Heaven”.

If you’re interested, you can buy it from  Music123.com or ZZsounds.com or   MusiciansFriend.com. Cya.
