One Man's Journey for Darkest of Tones
First of all, I promise that there is more to this than my
history as a musician, but it does set the backdrop for a
strange fascination that I've developed. I started out playing
bass with a high school hard rock band in 1982. I just wanted
to be in my friend's newly formed band and couldn't sing, play
guitar, or play drums.

By Michael Wright, The Different Strummer
What were they smoking when they dreamed up Messenger
guitars? Such an exquisite combination of the revolutionary
and banal. Well, it was San Francisco in the Summer of Love,
1967. Imagine a Cheech and Chong routine. "Like, wow, man.
What if we made the neck out of a magnesium-aluminum alloy so
it wouldn't warp and then continued the block of metal on
through the guitar to cut down on feedback?" "Yeah, man, we
could put cool Ricky catseye soundholes on it." "Groovy! And
we could wire it so you could play out of two amplifiers at
once. Like stereo, man."

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.

What is it that makes one tune different from another?
Melody. What makes a song a hit and what is it that you
remember? Melody. What is the only aspect of music that you
can copyright? Melody. Melody is boss.

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.
