    My Rare Guitarticles MAY 2006
    Greetings!

    Finally Spring has Sprung. We have lots of cool stuff brewing so sit back, relax and enjoy this months newsletter....

    This month Joey Leone stirs up some controversy with his new list of TOP 10 Guitars. Is your guitar on the list? May's "Dealer Of The Month" hails from Milwaukee, Wade Starck of WADE's Guitar Shop. Check out their bio. Also, one of our customers, Michael Aronoff, sheds some insight into the Mandocello.

    We have part three of the interview with Mike Stern written by Larry Payne. Also, Michael Wright gets right to the point with his Flip Flop Fantasy Ibanez guitar. just a reminder, Yes, the new EASTWOOD website is up and running. However, our "store" is still the My Rare Guitars site, so keep your book mark at www.myrareguitars.com for your daily injection of all things guitar goofy...


    Wade's Guitar Shop

    Dealer of the Month

    Wade Starck opened Wade's Guitar Shop across the street from their current location in June of 1989. For five years it grew inside of that little 500 sq. ft. shop, selling and repairing only guitars.

    Flip Flop Fantasy!
    By Michael Wright, The Different Strummer

    There are a lot of guitar stories in the BigCity. A lot of them come with names like Gibson and Fender and a lot of people follow them around like mindless lemmings, genuflecting at the sound of the names. And pay out lots of money. But luckily for you and me, there are a lot of other stories down obscure alleys and behind underpasses. Providing encounters where you come face to face and you say, "I gotta have that guitar."

    10 Perfect Guitars

    10 Perfect Guitars
    by Joey Leone

    It seems every time you turn around there's another list, 100 best this, 10 worst that's. Well here's another list for ya! But at least this one does not involve Paris Hilton. I now that some of my listings may be a bit controversial (one in particular) as I said before these are my opinions based on my experiences. Like all things in music they are not right or wrong, just some good natured opinions that will hopefully stimulate your own thoughts on this subject.

    A Sense of Self - part 3 of 3

    Jaco's influence up to this point had been positive in many ways, but of course there was also a negative aspect to it. Despite the benefits of being able to play together whenever they liked, the pair had taken the party route a bit too often. Excessive alcohol consumption had begun to wear on the guitarist, depleting his energies and stressing his home life. So, after a while it was clear that he needed to chill out.

    Electric Mandocello

    In Search of an Electric Mandocello
    by Michael Aronoff

    I have been looking for an electric Mandocello. I don't know if such an instrument has ever been made commercially. I personally would love to own and play one. I have always been haunted by the sounds of the mandolin family of instruments.
