With the prospect of shipping the two jazzmasters' off to new homes early next week I really needed something special to ease the pain... I nearly bought something weird until a viewer comment hit the nail on the head. Welcome the Squier CV Custom Telecaster S/H Bigbsy! 😃👌

Following last weeks review of the American Beauty we follow up with a deep dive look at the £399 Squier alternative comparing key specs with it's Fender counterpart. Having now reviewed both we then launch our latest raffle where you could be the new owner of one of these actual guitars! 😁🤞

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and while the quirky old Fender Jazzmaster may divide opinion there's no doubt that this American Vintage '66 in Dakota Red has us Guitaristas head over heels in love 😍 It's pricey for sure but is it money well spent?... join us guitar lovers and let's find ou...

Following a flurry of positive reviews of the Hartwood Drifter from all those YouTubers we take a look at the Fifty6 🔥 This little rocker begs to be played in open G so we gave it our best shot and were rewarded with a copyright strike for brown sugar. No ad revenue this week then! 🤨 🤷‍♂️

Every now and then the planets align and some kind of spooky JuJu brings along a guitar that has my name on it... or in this case it literally does have someone else name on it which somehow made it even more appealing. This is a good week... meet my new squeeze 'Susie' 😁🎸👌

The Les Paul Book By ...

This week we put our all time favourite P90 pickup to the the test alongside the lesser known Gibson Mini Humbucker. Can the diminutive PAF hold it's own against a rock n roll legend?... join me for some talking & bluesy bollocks playing and let's find out! 😎🎸

Epiphone Les Paul Special DC Review...

It's the final chance I get to play the '61 SG Standard before it heads off to a new home, so let's compare it with a P90 version that I will be hanging onto for the foreseeable future 🎸 It's a similar rig but can you hear any difference between these pickups? 🤔

Keeping our 'circle of guitars' turning this week we review Gibson's reissue of the iconic '61 SG Standard... previously know as the 'Les Paul' until Les himself decided he didn't like it. What about you though do you fancy it? 🤔 If so stay tuned and find out how it could be yours!! 😛👍

Our search for the next Guitaristas Raffle Prize is over and this week we unveil another fabulous guitar which we will review & enjoy before flipping it to the home of some lucky bugger. We followed our nose to this one and it's an obvious choice... it's the one everyone wants!! 🎸👌

Another guitar from the uniquely original Hartwood line-up this week as we finally check out the very sexy looking Deytona II 😍 But don't be fooled by it's petite lines as they hide a full 25.5" scale length and tones that might even please Frank Zappa... join us and check this thing out!! 🎸

After reviewing the Eastman SC52 recently it sat unplayed due to a niggling problem... just like the Stratocaster layout the volume control was cramping my style 🤨 But a quick fix and a pimped pickguard is all that's needed to fix this problem and help us get back into the groove! 😎🎸👌

This week we warn of the dangers of visiting Gibson's official website to buy a T Shirt... apparently they also have a large range of exclusive guitars to tempt us with 😛 There's something special about a new Gibson guitar and something very very special about this one! 🎸😛

Thanks to channel part...

The great thing about new 'better than ever' releases from Epiphone is being able to grab lusted after last years models at bargain prices 😃 This week we grabbed a '63 Firebird 1 for just £799 and think the ghost of Johnny Winter would approve! 😎🎸👌

Bargain Epiphone Firebirds from channel partner...

Major GAS attack last week led to the inevitable purchase of the TV Yellow Les Paul Special DC from Epiphone's new 'Inspired By Gibson Custom' range, but we're a bit on the fence about the Gibson 'open book headstock' on an Epiphone 🤨 Join us for full review and discussion! 🎸

Lately we notice a trend of Gibson price drops across the board and new models launched with attractive price tags, so with a new bargain priced Les Paul we dig deeper and look at current QC… could this be a new golden age of value and quality for the often criticised brand? 🎸🤔

Finding a good little tube amp can be a challenge with them mostly being way too loud, single minded, and very expensive. So it's time to check out the Supro Delta King 12... a real looker that's not only extremely versatile but also sounds bloody brilliant and is a proper bargain! 😎👌

Looking around for another telecaster we came across a great looking 'budget' relic version from Gear4Music and at just £149 snapped one up. Only later did it occur that reviewing a 'cheap' guitar from our channel partner may not be the smartest move... what if it's a bit rubbish? 😳

Take advanta...

This week we are safely back in the studio with the new Eastman sc'52 and it's time to remove all the screws (and bolts!) and find out what makes it tick. Then if we can remember how it goes back together we'll restring it and see what it sounds like! 😆🎸👌

Thanks to our channel partners Gear4Mus...

It's road trip time again as we travel to London to collect a new guitar that's just arrived in the UK. No boring motorway today though so along the way we check out some of London's famous landmark sights. What are we on about?... well come along for the ride and let's find out! 😎🎸

Everyone wants a Les Paul but have Gibson over-estimated how many people can actually afford to buy one? We come across a massive stock clearance sale with up to £1600 off these highly prized guitars... and of course we have to get one! 😄🎸👌

Have you ever done that thing when you've bought guitar and you're not really sure why? so you quietly keep this one under wraps. This is the story of how my own 'guilty secret' became my number 1 go-to guitar and is now a glittering prize & worthy addition to any collection. 😊🎸

It's road trip time again as we find an excuse to jump in the motor and head south of the river, to a beautiful place where it is said that all guitars hang dust free and every note rings true and in perfect tune. What is this mythical place?...come along for the ride and let's find out! 😄🎸

This week we compare two guitars that are almost identical apart from the body style. Can we put to rest that claim that the tone is all in the pickups, or does the wood actually count? Join us for a bit of poking around and looping as we play with our favourite kind of guitars! 😁🎸👍

Massive than...

Another budget guitar from Hartwood this week which could be raising the stakes in this price point. Originality is not really what you expect to find for £299 yet here it is... and this one inspires a vague Motorcycle Gang Analogy Thumbnail and Leather Jacketed Jam. Top stuff!! 😎🎸🏍🖤
