Presence is importance. In this day & age, virtual presence can have a real impact for your business. In this instance, Fender collaborated with Fortnite to have their instruments present in the gaming realm. It's not even functional but once again, presence is important. Come to think of it, it's advertisement in another guise.  Pic: EIllustrated ..read more

Available at Swee Lee for $1,899. It's listed for more most probably due to its 'upgraded' pickups, which are a pair of Duncan's Black Winter. Folks, the 1221 is equipped with a pair of DiMarzios from the factory. Implying the Duncans as 'upgrades' is frankly, uncalled for. Yes, the Japanese Squier Silver Series guitars are somewhat valued in the collector's turf. The reputation of these instruments are somewhat positive but there were lemons during the day & these might still be out there. The asking price as stated here is nearly $1K. There are other after-market Fenders out there w ..read more

4-in-1

New 4-in-1 models by Keeley. There are actually four of them, the first one, the Nobel Screamer, was released way before these 3. The idea was to combine 2 pedals into a single footprint & have controls letting you choose from whichever pedal you fancy. The Nobel Screamer combined the Nobels ODR-1 wit the Ibanez Tube Screamer, so here are the rest of the fusion combo: Blues Disorder: Blues Breaker / OCD Angry Orange: DS-1 / Big Muff Super Rodent: Rat / SD-1 While the idea is a noble one, JHS did a thing with BOSS resulting in the Angry Driver (2022) so the idea is not entirely unique ..read more

Not really a big acoustic fan but I will re-visit the guitars that I like. While that happens, I usually will tweak the experience to suit my needs. In this case, it's the string gauge. I can't really play acoustics with anything thicker than 11s. We are aware that most of these instruments are equipped with 12s by default. My skin / fingertips are susceptible to wear & tear since chemo days so I have a set of 'wimpy' strings in my favoured acoustics. It's about addressing needs more than complying to conventional practices. Beginning to like the DRs for acoustics ..read more

CH/DC

The chorus adventure continues. Managed to compare these two side-by-side. I have no PSU in the mean time, had to borrow one from work to power the DC-2w, hope I remember to return it soon ?  Anyway, the settings for DC-2w are all presets but darn these are addictive & they sound awesome for solo applications. For the CH-1, I tend to use it for super clean tones & dial down the rate. I am now coming to terms with clean tones namely due to the fact that the chorus unit helps increase sensitivity. As a light picker, this helps tremendously ..read more

This Edwards E-Stream Miku Custom is now available at Davis GMC. I'm digging the body outline but that headstock, to me, is a deal breaker. Glad that some one-offs / limited runs / dealer specials are available here every now & then. Affording one is a different story. Pic: MFC ..read more

Majority of the guitars on this list are Fenders, these Squiers are discounted as well. They sure look familiar don't they? For the Nth time - Squier's 40th Anniversary was back in 2022. These instruments are still around today in the store & subjected to repeated discounts... well, it implies something, yes?  Pics: SL webstore ..read more

Chorus-ing

It's that time in (my) life where one steps back & re-visit a detestable discourse only to realize it's actually a missing ingredient to attaining self-actualization. I hate acoustic guitars. OK to be fair, majority of them. Classical guitars rank below this aversion. Those slippery nylon strings are impeding my playing potential more than anything else. Then came this idea to pair the squeaky clean classical guitar tones with the chorus pedal to perhaps give a semblance of hope in embracing this other aspect of guitar playing & hey, presto! Things are actually more likeable now.&nbs ..read more
