Killer looks!

Killer tone!

She just simply takes my breath away .....

All my years from playing the guitar, there has always been one important element. The guitar pick. A lot of players do not realise this. The guitar picks plays a very big part in tone. All my years of playing the guitar has seen me change a wide variety of different picks. From nylon to metal picks. I have almost tried them all. They were all mostly the same. The only difference was that the thinner picks produced a thin and crisp tone that was ideal for rhythm play.  The thicker picks ...

I have been reading one too many raving reviews about the Danelectro Cool Cat pedals. The most raved about pedal in that line of affordable stompboxes is the Cool Cat Transparent Overdrive. I have been trying to get a hold of it for quite some time but somehow it always seems to be out of stock when i visit the guitar store. Is it really that good?

I managed to pick one up from the store once i got a tip off about new stocks that has just arrived. This is my take on the Dane...

Here's a cheap alternative to get some pedals which won't cost an arm and leg. The Biyang's! With quite a range out in the market now, These pedals are made in china. I bet a lot of you would probably roll your eyes after seeing that MIC tag.

I recently got 2 Biyang pedals. The first is the Metal End King. This pedal is worth a mention. Built on a shiny metal housing. The Distortion levels on the Metal End King is shattering. With very high gain and lots of tonal options. With some twe...

Firstly, Merry Christmas to one and all!

Since it's the Xmas season, I decided to put on some new strings for my guitars. I have been a regular user of the 9's-42's for quite some time now and i have decided to give the 10's - 46's a shot. I needed some getting use to as i do find the 9's - 42's rather soft and comfortable but lacks in tone. I'll gradually move up the gauges as i do find the 10's to 46's rather comfortable now.

With that aside,...

Call me old fashion if you will but a Robot Guitar Again? I thought it was a one off thing when Gibson released it's first Robot Guitar. Maybe it was a huge success or maybe they are just trying to revolutionize guitar playing. I'll just stick to tuning the guitar with my ears or with a tuner. In my opinion, Tuning a guitar helps enlighten your sense of tone and hearing. Somethings are better left that way. People just get lazy with that much technology pumped into everything around them.

This just dropped in today. I have been waiting for this for almost 2 whole weeks. There were some shipping issues but they were finally ironed out. It's finally here!

I'm still finding faults with this one. That's a normal thing for me to do when a new piece pops into my...

I have had many strats in the past but have never owned an American made fender. The hype of the fender franchise was the new American standard. Some swear by it while others will feel other wise. Well, i held back long enough and went out to get myself a brand new piece. I picked the blizzard pearl finish on a maple fretboard and neck. I got this piece from Swee Lee at a promotional price of $1500 nett. *Thanks Jai* My first impressions of this guitar was the Fender SKB Hard c...
