Here's my new post on the February 1989 Guitar Player. It was a good issue!

Here's my new blog post about the September 1988 Guitar Player magazine write up:

Good stuff on Jeff Healey,...
The August 1988 Guitar Player magazine featured an interview with Eric Clapton ruminating on his Crossroads box set and his new signature model guitar; a very good interview with Fred Newell who was...
Hi: I've got a new post on my blog, looking at the Guitar Player Magazine issue from 30 years ago. Jerry Garcia was on the cover and there was a lengthy review of the "Crossroads" box set of Eric...
My latest post, on the [I]Guitar Player[I] from 30 years ago, has a little something for everyone: thoughts on gear, musicianship, and Ted Nugent!

You're welcome, Jlipes! I'll be posting my thoughts on the June 1988 issue in a few days. Thanks so much for reading it!
I hope this is the right place to put this, but I thought that forum members might be interested in a blog series I've been doing for the last year or so, where I re-read the Guitar Player magazine...
Thanks, Jipes! I appreciate it.
Hard to believe, it still looks so young! But seriously, what other new products from 1954 still look cutting edge?
I recently wrote this blog post about the Strat and some famous players:

Pickups wise, I feel pretty happy so far. I am still trying to dial in the neck pickup height but the bridge and middle combos sound very good. Also, my budget would pretty much only stretch to GFS...
I thought I would share with you my thoughts on my latest acquisition--an XV-640 double bound Tele from Xaviere. In recent months I thought my guitar collection was getting stale, and I also found...

Hi everyone. I just wrote a lengthy blog post about why Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs is my "desert island" record. I'd welcome your comments, and I'd love to know what YOUR one record is...
I've had it set your way for awhile now. Volume to max, gain low, and use the footswitch to kick on a boost for solos. This is a super amp.
I sent them my Guild Songbird a few years ago. They do great work, and are hoping to branch out beyond the Wisconsin area. Good people.
You're in my thoughts. Good luck, Brian!
Thanks for the nice comments. I don't personally find the P-90's to be noisy, and as an earlier poster mentioned they are hum cancelling in the middle position. Part of the reason for me is that I...
Nice looking guitar! I have had an AL-3000 goldtop for about 4 years now and it is a very nice guitar. It stays in tune well, the P-90's are great and the guitar is overall surprisingly nice for the...
This is the blog post I wrote on Friday to commemorate the 20th anniversary:

Here's mine. She'll be 10 years old in a couple of weeks. The best guitar I've ever owned.http://www.ethanlewis.org/gtr00/pics/carvin.jpg
So, after reading lots of good reviews here and elsewhere, I got a Pathfinder 15r today. I bought it used on the 'Bay for $70. I am quite impressed by the looks (black cloth), size (half the weight...
I got this Silver Creek T-160 on a Black Friday special from Music 123. It was a fantastic deal at $150 shipped. The guitar has great sustain, and loves open tunings.
After being without an...
