| Greetings!
A new contest! We've finally committed to a new
website. Although quaint, My Rare Guitars is teetering on
becoming unmanageable. So, sometime in the next 90 days, we
will unveil a new site. Of course, we'll need a new LOGO. Hence, the
LOGO Contest has begun!
We've added two "staff" writers this month. Two good
friends and great players - David Love and Joey
Leone. Both are professional players that have unique
perspectives to share. Please take a moment to read their
"rants" and visit their websites.
Just when you thought The
Different Strummer might run out of stories to tell, he
lays a beauty on us - WANDRE - the feature in this
months article from Michael Wright. Time to revisit
some insightful commentary from Kirk
Lorange, 10 Tips to Better Playing. Also, preview some new
releases by Eastwood, the Nashville
12 and the RAMONES Replica, JR
ELITE.

I've been playing the electric twelve string guitar
professionally for the last 16 years in my band The Carpet
Frogs. Guitar players have often complimented me on the tone
of my electric12 string and have asked me how I get that
"authentic" sound! For me, it all started with the two
Godfathers of the electric 12 string: George Harrison of the
Beatles and Roger McGuinn of The Byrds. Obviously, the first
ingredient is a great 12 string. The Granddaddy of them all is
the Rickenbacker 12 string.

The minute I laid eyes on this c. 1965 Wandré Modele Karak
- that is, once I was able to get beyond the knockout shape -
I thought "motorcycle." Take a gander at that vibrato. Look
like a motorcycle chevron? And what's up with that neck? It's
tooled from aluminum, which makes it weird enough. But just
like motorcycles have all the works exposed on the outside,
this aluminum neck stretches its whole length- head to vibrato
- on the outside of the guitar! Even the head frame shouts
motorbike. So, is there a two- wheel connection?

This subject has been discussed many times in many places,
so what do I do for my first column? I tackle a worn out
subject with what I hope is a unique perspective. First, I
will tell you that I have owned many vintage Fenders and
Gibson's over the years. I still own the vintage Gibson's and
do not own any more vintage Fenders ( I guess that gives a
preview of my take on Vintage Fender vs. Vintage Gibson). So
let's get started!!!

The Player's Guide to Ultimate Tone
Our thanks to ToneQuest editor David Wilson,
who took some time out to interview Eastwood Guitars founder
(yours truly) in this months ToneQuest Report. David drills
deeper into a story than most "trade" magazines these days.
Consider subscribing to ToneQuest, you'll be glad you did. In
the meantime, if you ever wanted to "peek under the hood" of
Eastwood Guitars, here is your chance.

One Saturday last month I spent 12 hours in the studio with
some friends recording our band, The Pungent Brothers. Funny how expensive mics, high-end recording equipment and a
good engineer - can make you sound.... well, how you REALLY sound. Ugggg. It them occurred to me, perhaps it
is time to revisit some "sound" advise from Kirk
Lorang....

new model from Eastwood Guitars
For years, we have been simply astonished that people are
paying thousands of dollars for re- issues of the
Mosrite guitar made famous by Johnny Ramone. Fortunately, Eastwood has decided to step up and offer their
own tribute model, but at the prices their customers have
grown to expect. Perfect in every detail.

For years our customers have been asking for a quality Eastwood 12-string but we could never decide on a
suitable model to make. Last summer someone walked in with an EPIPHONE Elitist Riviera. It had to be one of the most
beautiful sounding 12-string guitars I have ever heard. So
here we are, 6 months later, with the Nashville 12.
