    Eddie Cochran: Early Rock Star, Rockabilly Pioneer

    Eddie Cochran: Early Rock Star, Rockabilly Pioneer

    by Joey Leone

    Eddie Cochran was only 21 years old when he died in an auto accident while on tour in England on April 17th 1960. In his brief but illustrious career Eddie recorded some of the most influential early rock and roll, tunes like, Twenty Flight Rock, C'mon Everybody, Too Much Monkey Business, and Something Else, but Eddie's Summertime Blues was a monster hit.

    Bushwhacked by the Past (1965 Kay K350 Titan I Guitar)

    The wonderful thing about the world of design is that every once in awhile you get to feel smug and sit back and say, "WHAT were they smoking?!"

    Odds and Mods (Silvertone 1448 Guitar by Danelectro)

    by Rob Roberge

    Last year at NAMM, Eastwood grand poobah Mike Robinson and I were talking about hot rods and custom jobs. He'd said one of the truly fun things he dug about motorcycle riding was tripping out your bike with custom touches that made it your own. This led into talk about custom guitars...

    Sound Clips: Truth or Gimmick?

    Sound Clips: Truth or Gimmick?

    by Don Mackrill

    This month we investigate whether guitar amp sound and video clips are actually useful and what makes a good one. Almost every amp company features sound and sometimes video clips on their web sites to demonstrate how good their amp sounds...

    ON THE NET - Advice to Live By

    I celebrated my 50th Birthday last week. My body is starting to feel that way occasionally, but certainly not my mind. I am heading out to the ATP Music Festival this week - hosted by The Flaming Lips - I'm guessing not many 50 year olds are doing the same. Bravo for me. Here is another cool video that seems to fit the moment for me, it is called Advice to Live By. Enjoy!

    Limited Edition: Joey Leone Signature Guitar

    Here is our latest LIMITED EDITION model. We only made 50 of these, unique serial number, mahogany neck, flamed maple top, back, sides and three coil-tapped Humbuckers. Think about that - the coil taps give you everything from a clean, bright single coil to a full on Humbucker, and can be setup in any combination with all three pickups.
