    Link Wray

    The Night I Played Link Wray's Guitar

    By Devin Patrick

    Last month guitar legend Link Wray passed away at his Copenhagen home at the age of seventy-six. A master of raw tone and minimalist riffs, Link Wray was the great grandfather of the power chord.

    1967 Galanti Grand Prix Guitar

    Mama's Got A Squeezebox

    By Michael Wright, The Different Strummer

    Accordions. If you play guitar, you probably don't think much about them. But from several perspectives they played an important role in giving the guitar a boost to prominence that it now enjoys. A role that is nicely evidenced by this very swell c. 1967 Galanti Grand Prix.

    Kirk Lorang - Rhythm and Lead

    Rhythm and Lead home I did my monthly gig in Sydney on the weekend with The Train. A long way to go for one gig, but I do it anyway. I leave home at 3 pm, drive an hour to the airport, wait for the flight, fly for an hour and a half, drive to the gig and set up, play til 1:30 am, get to my friend's place by 3 am to crash til 8 am, wake up, shower, and taxi to the airport for the 9:30 am flight back to the Gold Coast, and drive an hour to get home by noon. Why do I do it? Because I love playing those two sets.

    Caption Contest

    Our new advertising campaign features Mr. GuitarHead. In all advertisements (ie. Vintage Guitar Magazine, Harmony Central) he does not have a word to say. In fact, he just stands as a sentinel to the display of EASTWOOD Guitars. What is he thinking? Who knows? Let's find out.
