| Greetings!
Wow. Where did 2006 go? Oh well, push on...
This month we have a new contributor - Don Mackrill from Mack Music Systems, to dispell some myths
about Tube Amps. Joey Leone is back to tackle an
important subject - YOUR Guitar SETUP. Michael
Wright rings in the New Year - Korean Style, Rob
Roberge checks out the Lectrolab S 400 in Rob's Crazy EBAY
Finds and Kirk Lorange drops in for a lesson on drop-D
tuning. This month's "Notable..." takes a quick
look at the upcoming 2007 NAMM Show.

This month I will be discussing a much overlooked aspect of
guitar playing and appreciation, the professional setup. As I
always say - this is not MY Guitar until it is setup to my
specifications. I think perhaps 90% of today's guitar players
do NOT have a personal guitar repair technician that they work
with. People have a favorite video/music store with a favorite
clerk that helps them with selections, a tailor, a banker, a
doctor, a dentist, a lawyer... yet they don't have a favorite
guitar tech. Why?

The writhing, brightly colored paper dragons carried by a
line of athletic young men to celebrate Chinese New Year is a
sight most of us have seen. If you don't live in a city with a
Chinatown, you've at least seen them in a Stephen Segal movie.
And if you've ever entered a Chinese gift shop, you've seen
the gift boxes inlaid with colorful pearl and abalone
dragons.

Recently, I was at a writer's conference and there was
another guitar player there and we started talking about amps
and guitars and pedals and such, but mostly about amplifiers.
And someone there (not a guitar player) asked me: "How many
amplifiers do you have?" I pride myself on only keeping
equipment that I play, - I don't have any collector's-only
pieces. Still, I have the cool gear disease. I did some quick
math. "Five," I said. "What does your wife think?"

Class A tube guitar amps. Everyone's heard the term. It's
generally associated with higher-end amps in support of an amp
maker's claim that their product sounds "better". I'll leave
the debate as to which is better to others. What I want to
discuss is what Class A really means and, from the pet peeve
perspective, to debunk many amp manufacturers' claims that
their products are Class A when clearly they're not! You may
be surprised at how many amp makers falsely claim Class A
operation.

When I started to look into playing slide in standard
tuning many years ago, like 30 or so, I began looking at the
fretboard in a new way. What I started plotting out were all
the places notes line up 'vertically', in other words 'across
the fretboard'. The reason, of course, is that the slide can
really only play notes that line up in a straight line.

 NOTABLE...
by Mike Robinson
Looking back over the past 4 years - especially 2006 - I am
amazed at the growth of EASTWOOD Guitars. We have doubled in
size every year since the first EASTWOOD Guitar shipped. Most
of this growth has come by word-of-mouth - empowered by the
Internet. In fact, only a small percentage of our sales are
from our loyal dealers throughout the world. That is about to
change...
