    Joey Leone: That Is Not MY Guitar Until...

    That Is Not MY Guitar Until...

    by Joey Leone

    This month I will be discussing a much overlooked aspect of guitar playing and appreciation, the professional setup. 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?

    Roundup for a Texas Longhorn: Hondo II Longhorn Guitar

    Roundup for a Texas Longhorn: Hondo II Longhorn Guitar

    By Michael Wright, The Different Strummer

    Spaghetti Westerns. Justice by Clint. The Duke as Hondo. Cattle drives, horses, chaps, revolvers, rustlers, Rangers and the Red River Valley. It's the image of Texas that runs through our blood like a celluloid river. But even though this Hondo II Longhorn hails from Texas, like Eastwood's films directed by Italians and filmed in Spain, there's a lot more behind the story! Here's the beef.

    Under the RADAR - The Dream Syndicate

    Under the RADAR - The Dream Syndicate

    by Rob Roberge

    So, we're all guitar geeks here, right? And this quest for tone we're all on is (or should be, at any rate) about the music that comes out at the end of the search. So, this month, I wanted to add to my normal column about great guitars and amps full of tone that have slipped under the mondo-expensive collectors' radars an album worthy of revisiting.

    BUDGET BOUTIQUE Amps - What Are They and Why Should You Buy One?

    BUDGET BOUTIQUE Amps - What Are They and Why Should You Buy One?

    by Don Mackrill

    You've finally made your decision to slap down some of your scarce cash on a reissue or new model tube amp built in the Far East for a BIG name manufacturer. It seems like a great deal...

    Kirk Lorange - Open Air - an étude

    by Kirk Lorange

    I was fiddling around on my new acoustic the other day, exploring and experimenting with the use of open strings in unusual configurations and came up with an interesting piece I call 'Open Air' ... I thought I'd share it with you, mainly because it forces you to really think about what you're playing rather than just flipping the autopilot switch and reworking familiar ground.
