I honestly didn't plan it but the appeal of this £369 single pickup Squier Paranormal Telecaster in 1970s Brown was too hard to resist. The designers over at Fender must of had some fun coming up with this one I reckon! 😃😜🎸

With 5 years of buying, selling, and trading guitars to keep this YouTube channel alive I've seen quite few guitars come and go so this week I take stock of some of those that I've resisted parting with as I curate part of a 'collection' that has quite a specific leaning... 🎸😋

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' 😁🎸👌

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? 🤔

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! 🎸😛

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! 🎸

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? 😳

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! 😆🎸👌
