 Playing Our
Favorite Stratocaster. Click here to
hear an MP3 of the Yngwie Strat through a POD Version 1 (which has since been
upgraded to Version 2).This is a little rock "ditty" that lasts about one minute and is a pretty good headbanger. This is a great, great guitar, and recommend it to anyone looking for something different. |

Guitar Shows Q: Why haven't you been to more guitar shows lately? A: First, we have been, but they are not that great. Sadly, eBay and Reverb have made everybody an expert in vintage guitars, and even the most commonplace guitar is now is overpriced and considered to be a "collector's item". We have lost interest in going to these shows after continually being disappointed. Additionally, the recent ones we've attended are awash with fake vintage Strats and Teles, and we really don't want any part of that. If we run across a show that is really cool, you can be assured we'll post it here. Question: Are guitar shows a thing of the past? |
