    Mama's Got a Squeezebox (1967 Galanti Grand Prix 3003 Guitar)

    Mama's Got a Squeezebox (1967 Galanti Grand Prix 3003 Guitar)

    By Michael Wright, The Different Strummer

    Accordions. If you play guitar, you probably don't think much about them. But from several perspectives they played an important role in giving the guitar a boost to prominence that it now enjoys. A role that is nicely evidenced by this very swell c. 1967 Galanti Grand Prix.

    Rob's Crazy EBAY Finds: Univox Amps

    Rob's Crazy EBAY Finds: Univox Amps

    by Rob Roberge

    A lot of yesterday's "sleeper" amps, the great secret tone machines that only a few gear-geeks knew about (such as Danelectros and the several-branded versions of Valcos-Supro, National, Airline and the like) are now pretty well known and, as a result, are not as cheap as they were say, ten years ago. But there are still some great deals to be found with some of the other lesser-known amps of the 60's and 70's.

    Tone Controls: Tone and Gain Sucking Leeches?

    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 - Line 'em up: dropped D slide lesson

    Kirk Lorange - Line 'em up: dropped D slide lesson

    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.
