This month Joey Leone takes the new AIRLINE Combo
AMP for a test drive. Michael
Wright has been Losing it on TV and we'll check
back with Kirk Lorange reminding us to forget about
"The Chromatic Scale ".
Rob Roberge is back with some Crazy EBAY Finds and
we get some insight into the history and gear from the 1960's Surf Guitar scene from Gavin Ehringer.

In addition to my monthly rants and raves here in Guitarticles, I also donate some experience and
opinions in the design and development of many EASTWOOD guitar
models. So, last month Mike Robinson of Eastwood Guitars sent
me a prototype of his new Airline 18-Watt Handwired Combo for
review. The AMP is scheduled for release in October. Despite
UPS' efforts to the contrary, it arrived in perfect condition
with a black - almost "bedliner" looking covering - a
different take from the usual Tolex treatment. This material
is very tough and cleans up nicely.

How would you feel if you got a gig playing on your local
television station and your gear didn't work? Well, in a way,
that's what happened to me and this 1965 Teisco TRG-2L!
Sort of. Like in most major TV markets, the stations where I
live have a roving reporter who gets to go around and do
stories on the strange and unusual. You know, pieces about
people obsessed with carving pumpkins at Halloween and guys
with like 8,000 Lionel trains their basements.

Hello, music lovers. Callouses nice and hard? Been
practicing? No one has to remind you that practice is
everything. Practice is what you do so you can forget the
facts and figures. I recently received a letter with the
question -- How do I mix scales? (Thanks Andreas) This, with a
few additions, is the answer I sent him: How do you mix
scales? By forgetting about scales completely. I have hated
the idea of scales all my playing life.

 Rob's Crazy EBAY Finds...
By Rob Roberge
In Dave Hunter's great book The Guitar Amp Handbook, he
asks several respected boutique amplifier makers about any
sleepers out there on the vintage market (i.e., any great
sounding amps that aren't going for the at-time obscene money
that even a Silverface Fender is fetching on the market these
days' though many of them are, of course, fine amps.). Ken
Fischer (of Trainwreck fame) talks about a couple of amps that
he claims compare favorably to a Marshall 18 Watt Model &
the Early Ampeg Reverberockets (AKA Reverbrockets to some),
and the Harmony 415, made by Valco in the mid to late
1960's

Since its inception, legions of surf guitar players have
engaged in heated debate about gear. Suffice it to say,
everyone has an opinion. However, newbies often want a simple
answer to the question, "What do I need to get going?" Below,
I lay out the answers, based on the classic traditional surf
sound of the Sixties. Whether you want to nail the sound with
vintage gear, or whether you are on a budget, you'll find
useful guidelines here. Mahalo! Surf's up! Gavin "Windansea
Beach Boy," and a true surf guitar gremmie.

Here it is. When you finally get this in your lap, you
will realise it was well worth the wait. All the superb design
features of the "Jetsons" Airline, but a slightly larger body
and a sixties pickguard setup that simply rocks. Worth the
wait? Oh yeah.
