Recently, Gibson decided to distribute Kramer guitars through traditional music store channels, and it revamped the line as well, offering several new designs in addition to a few models that pay tribute to Kramer’s Eighties heyday.The Assault 220FR is available with either an Alpine White finish with black binding or a black finish with red binding. Both versions feature black hardware.
Like a Les Paul Standard, the Kramer Assault 220FR features a mahogany body with a carved maple top, a mahogany set neck and two full-size humbucking pickups. However, the similarities pretty much end there, as the guitar offers high-performance upgrades, like a licensed Floyd Rose double-locking tremolo, a master tone control with a coil-tap function, and a master volume with a treble-bleed modification, which allows more high frequencies to “bleed” into the signal as the volume is turned down, thus offsetting the high-frequency loss that occurs when reducing output with standard volume controls. The Assault’s super-fast neck has a 24-fret, 25 1/2–inch-scale neck with an ebony fretboard and 14-inch radius. The humbuckers feature Alnico V magnets and extra coil turns to provide hotter output.
the body is thinner and lighter than that of a traditional Les Paul, the Assault is much more comfortable to play. The cutaway is also deeper, which makes it easy to play all the way up to the 24th fret. Dyed-in-the-wool Gibson players may find the longer 25 1/2–inch scale more demanding to play, but the brighter, livelier tone is worth the extra effort.
Gibson also invented the first humbucking pickup, made in 1955 by company engineer Seth Lover and given the nickname “P.A.F.” That tag didn’t happen just because “Lover Pickup” would have implied something entirely unrelated to guitars. P.A.F. stands for “Patent Applied For,” which appeared on a sticker on the bottom plates of every humbucker Gibson made until 1959, when said patent was finally issued.
The two-coil humbucker – named for its ability to cancel the hum generated by single-coil pickups – is ubiquitous in popular music, from Eric Clapton’s and Peter Green’s classic Gibson Les Paul Standard tones with the Bluesbreakers to Jimmy Page’s roaring solos to Duane Allman’s hot buttered slide to The Edge’s textural wailing. Today, this still robust 52-year-old remains synonymous with power and versatility.
The third essential Gibson pickup style is the mini-humbucker, which was invented by Gibson’s sister brand Epiphone. This model provides a nice bridge between the big, warm tones of the humbucker and the snappy, brighter tones of single-coil pickups like the P-90 and other single-bar- and multi-pole-magnet single coil pickups. Although their lineage goes back to earlier Epis like the Sheraton, these clear, crystalline pickups with just enough mad-dog bite became truly popular when the Gibson Firebird was introduced, boasting mini-humbuckers, in 1963 and the guitar was subsequently embraced by such luminaries as Johnny Winter and Steve Winwood, who rocked a Firebird during his tenure with Traffic and Blind Faith.
Angus Young pickup
For over 25 years, Angus Young has been driving the sound of AC/DC with his Gibson SG. Now he's teamed up with Gibson to create the ultimate pickup for the searing riffs that he's known for.
With it's enamel-coated wire, special Alnico V magnet and matched coils, the Gibson Angus Young Signature humbucker provides a 1-2 combination of vintage-style punch and ripping tone that will cut through almost anything.
For those about to rock, consider the Gibson Signature series Angus Young pickup, which comes in neck and bridge configurations. It’s as powerful as a locomotive without sacrificing classic tone, and has a slew of coil deployment options. True to vintage form, the Angus Young pickup has enamel-coated wire, but it’s got a new-generation Alnico 5 magnet and matched coils. The bridge pickup is the secret weapon in Angus’ main Gibson SG. Spec’d for maximum versatility, it has four-conductor wiring for series, parallel and split coil variations. And the pickup is wax potted twice to eliminate microphonic feedback.
For 2011, The new Premium series of guitars designed for hardworking musicians. These guitars are for players who push their guitars to the fullest every night on stage and who demand real professional quality instruments, both functionally and visually.
The Wizard neck on RG Premium models is following the same playability and comfort on its Prestige counterpart.
The Edge-Zero II bridge with ZPS3Fe. Installation of the Zero Point System in the Edge Zero II makes tuning easier and faster as well as providing stable tuning for long performances, all while maintaining smooth tremolo playing. Loss of tuning is kept to a minimum, even when a string breaks. For players that prefer a full floating system, simply remove the stop bar.
DiMarzio® ibz pickups were made by DiMarzio® specially for Ibanez. The tone is vivid but easy to control to your sonic requirement.
Our luthiers’ insane attention to detail is evidenced by the Premium’s hand-rolled fret edges. This slow, demanding process makes for a smooth, fast playing neck.
FEATURES
- The Edge-Zero II, Ibanez's newest generation of knife edge tremolos, deploys all of the unique features of the ZR trem. Locking studs contribute to tuning stability.
- The Edge II Zero with the back plate removed. The system’s performance and flexibility is based upon its spring/counter-spring design.
- For the player who prefers the tremolo to snap hard to the zero point (as with a flutter effect) removal of the cross bar and counter-spring is quick and easy.
- The back cover plate is in place. Open slots reveal a spring adjustment knob (far left) and view of the spring’s level of compression.
- Solidly anchoring each component is a major part of creating great sustain. These stud bolts contain inner set screws that expand the outer bolt, marrying bridge to body, thereby maximizing string vibration.
RG PREMIUM SERIES BASICS
- Made at Ibanez Premium factory, built to Prestige model quality standards
- Specially rounded Premium fret edges for smooth play and comfortable neck grip
- Premium grade, select woods
- Wizard Premium neck has same construction and thickness as Prestige Wizard
- High-end DiMarzio and CAP-VM pickups
- Ultimate tuning stability with Edge-Zero II bridge/tremolo w/ZPS 3
With the DVP1, Dunlop has managed to spice up the ordinary, ho-hum volume pedal.
Part of the DVP1’s appeal is its rugged, industrial-strength styling, from its curvaceous, shiny aluminum chassis to its knobby nonslip tread, which looks like the treads of an off-road tire. Even cooler is its easily accessible tension-adjustment screw, which allows you to make the pedal’s action as tight or loose as you want. In addition to the requisite input and output jacks, the DVP1 includes a tuner output to send the guitar’s signal to a tuner, allowing you to tune up with the volume all the way off. The DVP1 Volume Pedal also features Dunlop’s patent-pending Steel Band Drive assembly.
Wah pedal in the current Cry Baby line. Like Dunlop’s other artist signature Cry Baby wahs, it starts out with the familiar Cry Baby chassis but adds a few unique modifications that give it its own distinctive voice. The Cantrell Cry Baby’s frequency sweep is more narrowly focused in the midrange (approximately 320Hz to 1,270kHz) than an original Cry Baby, although you can increase the upper-midrange response of the pedal’s toe-down position up to 2,070Hz with an adjustable Fine Tune knob.
Price:
JC95 Jerry Cantrell Signature Cry Baby wah $264.99; DVP1 volume pedal, $169.99
In designing the pedal, TC wanted something that was fast, easy and intuitive to use, with the ability to change sounds on the fly with a few knob tweaks.
However, it was also aware that most stompboxes have a core sound - a basic tonality that's purely their own. Something that's fine if you like it, but that you're also unable to change if you grow tired of it. With this in mind, it set about building in a feature to allow access to a number of alternative sounds.
This feature is called TonePrint: the pedal has a USB connection that allows you to import a new sound, a custom 'tuning' of the pedal, from a computer and store it in a special onboard memory slot called up by the TonePrint position of the pedal's three-way switch (or the rotary switch in the case of the delay).
TC has made a number of these alternative 'tunings' available for each pedal, all easily accessed and downloaded into it from a special TonePrint website.
And these aren't just voicings created by some Scandinavian boffin in a white lab coat. Instead, TC has asked a bunch of the world's best guitar players to make TonePrints for the pedals.
The company has given them a specially developed tuning software that allows them to tweak every single aspect of the pedals - parameter settings, what range the pots should have, what the min-mid-max values should be, and so on, to make their own perfect pedal.
The Flashback recalls TC's Nova Delay in the number of distinct effects it offers. Its fourth knob is a rotary switch that can call up nine different delay effects plus the TonePrint setting as well as setting it up as a looper.
The smaller three-way switch sets the timing division for the tap tempo function and offers quarter note, eighth note or both for a multi-tap repeat pattern - tap tempo being implemented by pressing the footswitch and rhythmically hitting the strings (the pedal mutes when you do this).
One of the fantastic JEM505’s most recognizable features: Steve Vai's signature Monkey Grip. Crank your amp up, grab that baby and hold on for dear life.
JEM505's Maple fingerboard offers bright tone.
Acclaimed Edge tremolo features knife-edge-like pivot surfaces for virtually friction free operation. Locking studs contribute to tuning stability.
FEATURES
- The low-profile design of the Edge tremolo includes fine tuners conveniently angled back to prevent right hand touches.
- The Edge bridge features a stud lock in both studs for maximum tuning stability.
JEM/UV - STEVE VAI SERIES BASICS
- Proudly made in Japan since their debut in 1987
- Contoured body with 24-fret JEM Prestige neck provides easy access to all registers

Fender recently added Telecaster Custom and Deluxe models to its expanding, popular line of Road Worn guitars, which have the aged look and worn-in feel of a well-loved battle-ax. Both models are relatively accurate reproductions of the original versions, but they sell for three to four times less than what you’d pay for their vintage counterparts.
Keith Richards fans are certain to gravitate toward the Road Worn Telecaster Custom, which looks almost identical to the black 1975 Tele Custom that he often plays in concert. While previous Road Worn models have included several modern “hot-rodded” enhancements, those modifications are absent and missed on the Tele Custom. Fender opted for vintage-style frets, which are lower profiled, thinner and an acquired taste along with the Custom’s 7 1/2–inch curved radius, but then again, this ax is for players who are already familiar with vintage guitars. The single-coil Tele bridge pickup provides more jangle than twang, but the neck humbucker is a welcome addition that gives added punch to open G–tuning rhythms.
The Deluxe has medium jumbo frets, but they are a little on the small side. However, the flatter 12-inch radius feels good under the fingers. The pair of humbuckers gives the guitar attractive fat tone that’s almost like single-coil P90 pickups but with a little more weight. This is a great guitar for pounding out “wall of sound” rhythms (no wonder so many rhythm guitarists have leaned toward this model), but it also holds its own quite nicely for lead players who desire bold, aggressive tones for solos.
I’m not sure why Fender decided to revive the much-disparaged three-bolt Micro-Tilt neck mounting design, but the neck felt solid and secure throughout my trials, and the tonal benefits outweigh the initial set-up hassles.
Vox’s new Custom series continues this welcome trend by providing classic Vox tones and pro features in fully gig-worthy amps that cost about what you’d expect to shell out for a basic entry-level amp. Interestingly, the new Custom series AC30C2 features a simpler design that does away with the various switches found on its previous (and currently discontinued) Custom Classic counterpart, while the Custom series AC15C1 expands upon the features and versatility of its Custom Classic brother by adding a Normal channel and a master Tone Cut control. The new models also come stock with Celestion Greenback speakers, which replace the Wharfedale speakers and the more expensive optional Celestion Alnico Blues.
The addition of a Normal channel and a tone cut control brings the AC15C1 closer to the classic AC30 Top Boost model than its previous incarnation. With its 15-watt output and single 12-inch speaker, the AC15C1 is like a mini AC30 that’s ideal for small club gigs and recording.
Like an AC30, the AC15C1 includes a very cool tremolo circuit with speed and depth controls. Unlike an AC30, the amp also features built-in spring reverb with a level control. The tremolo and reverb effects are in the master section, so they are applied to both channels, and you can engage or disengage each effect separately with an optional footswitch. An external speaker jack with an 8/16-ohm impedance selector automatically disconnects the internal speaker when you connect an external speaker cabinet, while the extension speaker jack keeps the internal speaker functioning when you plug in an additional cab.
Now comes the JamMan Solo, which offers almost all the features of the JamMan in a standard-sized stomp box.
For a compact pedal, the JamMan Solo is laden with features, and it’s hard to detail everything it can do in the space of a review. At its heart, the JamMan Solo is a mono phrase looper that can record your guitar’s output and/or record the output from an external audio device, and then play the recorded phrases back continuously. Any number of overdubs can be added to a looping sample, provided that the total loop time doesn’t exceed the 10-minute record and playback limit. Time signatures are selectable, and the samples can be set to play only once if you don’t want to hear them on a constant loop. You can also change a loop’s tempo up or down (Time Stretch) without altering the pitch. The JamMan’s built-in rhythm tracks provide nine metronome sounds that you can build your loops around. The rhythm guide track is not recorded with the audio, and it can be changed or turned off in any loop.
Though the internal memory’s 35 minutes of record time and 99 patches will be sufficient for most users, the SD/SDHC card expansion slot lets you expand this to 16 hours of record time and add another 99 patches. For maximum flexibility, the optional DigiTech FS3X footswitch facilitates live switching of loops and lets you play different loops back to back.
Loops and their settings can be backed up to a Mac or PC via the pedal’s mini-B USB port and organized using DigiTech’s JamManager Loop Librarian software (a free download at digitech.com). Headphones can be connected to the unit’s single 1/4-inch output, and power is provided through the included 9.6-volt adapter. Battery power is not an option.
PERFORMANCE
Although the JamMan Solo’s numerous control options can be somewhat daunting at first, the unit is very intuitive to use. In a matter of minutes, I was recording, looping and layering phrases that played back with impressive digital sound quality. Bear in mind that when playing along with the JamMan through an amp set for crunch or distortion, you’ll need to connect the pedal to a parallel effect loop to keep the backing tracks from distorting as well.
THE BOTTOM LINE
Whether you want to play complex, layered guitar lines, loop polyrhythmic phrases, compose or just play along with your favorite tracks, the DigiTech JamMan Solo is a must-have tool.
FEATURES
Blackstar's Series One 200 is one heavy amp, weighing in at roughly 60 pounds. Most of this sciatic-stressing heft is from the massive transformers that support the 200-watt power section. A quartet of bulbous KT88 bottles create all of that power, while imparting their special brand of smooth and complex midrange, round highs and deep bass extension.
Essentially, the Series One 200 is a four-channel amp with a two-channel preamp. The channels are Clean, Crunch, OD1 and OD2. The Clean and Crunch share one preamp, while the OD1 and OD2 share the other. The Clean and Crunch each have two switchable modes: Bright/Warm (Clean) and Crunch/Super Crunch (Crunch). Each channel has a dedicated gain and volume control, but Clean and Crunch share one set of bass, middle, treble and ISF (Infinite Shape Feature) controls, and OD1 and OD2 share another identical set of controls. This proprietary ISF dial alters the character of the tone stack from a warm, thumping American-style response to a wooly, lush and softer British personality.
PERFORMANCE
Incredible volume and sound pressure levels are easily achieved by the Series One 200, thanks to its 200-watt engine. However, that power also reveals subtle tonal and texture details that you can’t detect as well with lower-wattage amps. These abilities were pleasantly conspicuous in the Clean channel, which was punchy and surprisingly multidimensional for a circuit-laden amplifier.
The Crunch channel is very capable of producing classic British and American overdriven tones, although the KT88 power tubes maintain a wide midrange response and linear highs. Engaging the Super Crunch switch boosts the gain and also overrides some of the KT88s natural tone with more aggressive mids and punchier treble spikes.
OD2 has somewhat more preamp gain available than OD1. Otherwise, these two lead channels are quite similar in their snappy and harmonically rich vintage-modern tonality. Reasonably high levels of saturation and sustain are available in either channel, but the gobs of clean power maintain distinct note definition.
The amp’s DPR was useful for adding more body to the overall sound, even at low volume levels. It’s like having a built-in Variac, allowing you to keep a rock-solid tone at all levels, no matter where you set the individual channel volume controls and master volume.
THE BOTTOM LINE
Blackstar's Series One 200 qualifies as a true mega-amp, not just for its whopping 200 watts of potential output power but also for its ability to deliver that power with as much finesse as brawn. Four footswitchable channels provide instant access to a range of sounds and gain levels, while the ISF and DPR circuits allow players to infinitely shape the tone, power level and saturation permutations.
If you are seeking a wonderful sounding acoustic electric guitar and are considering buying an Epiphone EJ200CE, here are some points about this great musical instrument and suggestions for purchasing one without emptying your wallet.
Epiphone Sound Magic
The Epiphone EJ200CE is constructed with the sound which has made the series well-known: a great, clean ambient acoustic sound.
What makes this instrument's sound special is the almost perfect sound on higher registers with deep, resonant tones from the lower registers even if played with no amplification.
The guitar then takes this sound and reproduces it perfectly when amplified. Epiphone have achieved this with their eSonic2 system and 'NanoFlex' pickup, which is equipped with seven sensitive sensors which amplify string vibrations and resonance from guitar body.
So string bends and slides aren't lost in amplification, making it ideal as a lead or rhythm instrument.
Vintage meets Modern
The guitar features exquisite structure and design. The guitar has a jumbo Maple body, that is amazingly light-weight, and a solid Spruce top.
The fretboard is Rosewood with nicely designed crown inlay, Maple neck and features body, neck and headstock binding. Epiphone have retained a significant feature from the Hummingbird: the ornate, floral pick guard design and included the Epiphone mustache bridge.
The class of this guitar is seen in gold hardware, that sets perfectly against the Natural, Black or Vintage Sunburst finishes.
How to get
The Epihone is created as a low priced guitar although sound, building and playability make this the ideal choice for starters or specialists as well.
Before purchasing, make sure to play it with and without amplification to make sure that the quality of sound is excellent. You need to make sure that string intonation is correct.
Check out the guitar finish against a light for blemishes or tiny scratches. When you're satisfied with the sound, intonation, amplification and design, one last check out the balance of the guitar and you might make sure that your musical instrument is a great choice, that will last you for years in the future.
Good luck with your guitar search.

Gibson SG Standard 24 press release
1961 merupakan tahun di mana Soviet menempatkan manusia pertama di luar angkasa, Yuri Gagarin diikuti oleh AS di bulan Mei dengan Alan Shepard. Konstruksi Tembok Berlin dimulai, keterlibatan langsung pertama militer AS di Vietnam terjadi dan musik populer termasuk Chubby Checker's Pony Sisa dan Will You Love Me Tomorrow oleh Shirelles.
Namun tengara yang sangat berbeda dan radikal pada tahun 1961 adalah pengenalan cara gitar depan tahun nya, gitar Gibson SG pertama berguling dari jalur produksi di pabrik Gibson di Kalamazoo, Michigan.
Pada tahun 1961 Gibson SG Standard (SG Solid Guitar) sementara menggantikan Les Paul Standar di garis Gibson , sedikit yang menyadari bahwa ikon masa depan gitar rock sedang diperkenalkan ke tempat kejadian. Awalnya disebut Les Paul / SG, ini radikal, double-cutaway listrik dengan dua dramatis asimetris menunjukkan "horns" dan tubuh semua mahoni-tipis dari maple cutaway tunggal dan mahoni Les Paul yang diganti.
Hal ini terbukti memiliki kekuatan yang sama, punch dan fleksibilitas, tetapi juga menyatakan suara sendiri, yang telah meraih banyak heavy rock dan pemain Metal pada khususnya, bersama rock klasik yang tak terhitung jumlahnya dan seniman blues. Pada saat Les Paul cutaway tunggal kembali pada akhir 60-an, Standard SG sudah melegenda, dan selamanya mengklaim tempatnya dalam sejarah rock.
Setelah diperkenalkan pada tahun 1961, gitaris adalah kunci dalam revolusi rock and roll dari pertengahan '60-an, dari Eric Clapton dan Pete Townshend di Inggris untuk Jerry Garcia, Frank Zappa dan Robby Krieger di Amerika, cepat jatuh cinta dengan Slinky, baru, neck, gitar double-cutaway - membuatnya menjadi salah satu gitar paling keren di rock and roll dan gitar terlaris Gibson Guitar's.
Kini 50 tahun setelah pendahuluan SG, Gibson USA meluncurkan garis model HUT ke-50 untuk merayakan warisan ikon ini enam-senar. Setiap bulan, model baru akan diluncurkan, masing-masing membayar upeti kepada artis legendaris yang terkait dengan gitar Gibson SG. Busyeet..!

It features a pair of brand new pickups, a pair of Gibson Custom's new Super '74 humbuckers that reside beneath two worn covers. The units are based around Alnico III magnets for added authenticity and sound very cool indeed.
The pickups are selected by a standard Switchcraft three-way toggle that, here, also beards a brass tip and plate, just like Randy’s. The quartet of controls are classified as CTS 500k audio-taper potentiometers, and work perfectly.
The Gibson logo is bereft of the dot over the eye, just as the original mid-seventies Customs were, and the headstock is pitched at 17 degrees. The neck is fashioned from three pieces of mahogany and the very smooth ebony board features 22 medium jumbo frets. Model is numbered RR127 and the rear of the headstock also bears tuner holes to recreate the aperture left when Randy switched out the originals.Each guitar comes with its own Custom Shop hard case that bears the man’s squiggle. Is there anything as cool as an aged Alpine White Les Paul Custom? Tone down the yellow of the finish and be sold.
With an impressive two songs in Gibson.com’s Top 50 Guitar Solos of All Time (“Crazy Train” and “Mr. Crowley”) and a legion of fans still worshiping his unparalleled shredding abilities 28 years after his blazing career was cut short, Randy Rhoads is firmly established as one of the brightest stars in the metal-guitar heavens. After forming Quiet Riot while still in his teens, Rhoads stepped up his game when Ozzy Osbourne asked him to audition for his own band in 1979. Along came Rhoads, a practice amp in one hand, and his beloved 1974 Les Paul Custom in the other – and before the young guitarist had even finished his warm-up licks, Osbourne told him “you’ve got the gig.” What followed was an amazing ascent, but a too-swift ending, which earned Randy Rhoads a unique place in rock history.
To honor this achievement, Gibson Custom is releasing the Randy Rhoads 1974 Les Paul Custom, an instrument crafted in the image of Rhoads’s own much-loved, much-played instrument, and limited to only 100 hand-aged and 200 VOS guitars. Don’t be fooled by the light yellow color in the live shot. Gibson artisans have worked closely with the Rhoads family to perfectly reproduce the exact rich amber color of the original guitar. Rendered in period detail, the Randy Rhoads 1974 Les Paul Custom captures all the fire and aggression of this hard-rock favorite of the early ’70s, including numerous details that were particular to the model’s production for a relatively short period of time. Specific woods, pickups and dimensions have been painstakingly recreated by Gibson Custom, and the precise look of Rhoads’s own guitar also has been captured. One hundred examples of the Randy Rhoads 1974 Les Paul Custom will be hand-aged by Gibson Custom to match the playing wear and road abuse experienced by the star’s guitar, while another 200 will be treated to Gibson Custom’s VOS process to present the look of a gently aged instrument. All in all, this is the closest any fan, player or collector can get to owning Rhoads’s own guitar… without owning Rhoads’s own guitar.

The amPlug series of palm-sized headphone guitar amps make it easy to enjoy great guitar/bass sounds at home, in your room, or anywhere. This lineup is now joined by the amPlug Joe Satriani signature model, which borrows freely from the VOX/Joe Satriani line of signature pedal effects.
With its bright red body, the "amPlug Joe Satriani” delivers the awesome sound of Joe Satriani’s custom rig – distortion pedal through a high-gain vacuum tube amplifier, followed by a delay – and reproduces the settings created by Joe himself. Inspired by the distortion circuitry of the VOX/Joe Satriani Satchurator pedal, the amPlug Joe Satriani preserves much of the “pick attack” to create an articulate, playable distortion.
Flick the switch to activate the analog-style delay effect. Inherited from the "Lo-Fi mode" of the VOX/Joe Satriani Time Machine delay pedal, the delay features Joe’s distinctive EQ tone, combining both high-pass and low-pass filters.
Use the AUX input jack to plug your CD/MP3 player right into the amPlug Joe Satriani and jam along! Play along with Joe Satriani's classic tunes, or with any of your favorite music. Enjoy the amPlug’s extreme play-anywhere portability, with up to eleven hours of battery life.
Simply plug the amPlug Joe Satriani directly into your electric guitar, connect your headphones, and you’re ready to enjoy playing using Joe Satriani's powerful and expansive sound. Of course, you can also connect the optional amPlug Cabinet (sold separately) and create your own miniature amp stack!
