    My Rare Guitarticles March 2007

    Greetings!

    We're doubling the size of our facility this month - it's business as usual, but no doubt some things will fall through the cracks - so thanks in advance for your patience while we move.

    This month Joey Leone unveils his new Signature Model, Don Mackrill puts Tone Knobs on notice, Michael Wright jaws-off about an 80's classic, Rob Roberge let's us know what we've been missing and Kirk Lorange drops back in with a lesson in Open Air.

    We are adding yet another section this month entitled YOU TUBE and your EASTWOOD where we will link to this months EASTWOOD Videos, and Johnny Hawthorn offers some advise for your recording project.



    Joey Leone Signature RBC Guitar Model

    Joey Leone Signature RBC Model

    by Joey Leone

    I have always dreamed of a guitar that would combine the features of my favorite guitars, yet be able to get many sounds from it, all of which would be useable sounds. This guitar would have to be functional, beautiful, easy to play, and affordable - the Joey Leone Signature Model Guitar for Eastwood.

    1981 O'Hagan Shark Custom Guitar

    This guitar bites!

    By Michael Wright, The Different Strummer

    Cue the music. Duh-DUH-duh-DUH-duh-DUH-duh- DUH? Fin cuts water. Girl screams. The big Jaws open. That's right, folks, we're talking about sharks. Killer sharks with a taste for teens. Only this monster is a guitar! From Minnesota, no less!

    The Dream Syndicate: The Days of Wine and Roses 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.

    Mack Tone Controls

    Tone Controls – Tone and Gain Sucking Leeches?

    by Don Mackrill

    Guitar amps have tone controls. Always have, always will. Maybe. More tone controls are better – treble, middle, bass – a tone stack for every channel! Always has been, always will be. Maybe not! WHY?

    Kirk Lorange - Open Air - an etude

    Kirk Lorange - Open Air - an étude

    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.

    Eastwood Airline Tuxedo Guitar

    NOTABLE...

    by Mike Robinson

    Finally have some more info and pictures on the TUXEDO, coming April 2007. Also, Guitar Player Magazine gave me 30 seconds to spout off about our new products at NAMM. Only showing you this because the camera man kept telling me that the pattern in my shirt was going to break his camera...
