Ibanez guitars have carved themselves a good history.

This was setted out of court with Gibson. They also worked in innovative designs whilst keeping up to date with [...]

The bridge is a part found on an acoustic guitar, the purpose of which is to act as a way of transferring the vibrations from the strings as they are plucked or strummed, to the soundboard itself. The soundboard then vibrates the air that is inside the hollow body of an acoustic guitar, and this [...]
Acoustic guitars use the hollow resonating chamber of the body of the guitar to amplify and resonate the sound of the strings being plucked, but on an electric guitar, this isn’t the case. The body of an electric guitar is usually entirely solid, and the sound of the strings being struck is picked up by [...]

Leave it to Beverly Graham. She's so into nature, organics, and new-age spiritualism, it makes perfect sense that she'd have the least natural, most mechanical, highest-tech guitars we've ever seen.
First up is her matte black Ovation. She likes the matte black finish because it doesn't reflect the stage lighting into the audience. This way, she avoids lighting up random people in the audience with a bright flash, only seeing their grimacing faces!
Next up is her graphite Rain Song 12-string. This one has an amazing sound -- no doubt because it's perfectly engineered. The inlay is beautiful -- I particularly like the sharks!
Beautiful, wonderful, and perfectly matched instruments for a pure professional. Thanks for sharing these great instruments, Beverly.

Jewbilee & Midnight Hour played last night, and there were some neat guitars in the group.
First up is Shirel's '61 Gibson, clearly a working guitar. Check out the mic placement. It's either a luthiers dream, or nightmare, depending on one's outlook. Still, the guitar sounds great, and the real attraction is Shirel's powerful voice.
Next we have two guitars from the guitarist for both bands. This one is a nice Sparrow guitar, with hand-painted pinstripes. What a beauty!
Below is the Fender Stratocaster he plays for Midnight Hour. It's a reproduction of the big-head 70's style strats.

The Bards of the Koad brought a selection of neat instruments. First up is a unique one, Michael Brown's Cittern. His cittern is a celtic version of an Irish double mandolin, based upon the Greek Bouzouki, but made in Mexico. It's a small, oval-body ten-string instrument, with a strong unique sound and flexible tuning. Michael uses the cittern for a few songs in the Bards of the Koad video we captured.

In a strange move in the corporate world, but the right move for your consumers, Harmonix is acknowledging a flaw in the first wave of guitar controllers packaged with Rock Band and are offering replacements.
Evidently the strum bar (the “string” area) of some of the controllers was breaking rendering the guitar controller useless.
Harmonix has issued a statement saying that those who have a broken controller can contact them through their website (http://support.ea.com/rockband) for an immediate replacement.
It took weeks for Microsoft to address the X-Box 360 red ring of death issue. It sad that that is almost the norm now for most companies. Kudos to Harmonix for stepping up to the plate and dealing with the issue immediately.

Guitar Hero III wireless controller are going to be available early next year for all platforms. Rock Band has wireless controllers on the way in a similar time frame for both the 360 and PS3, but for some reason the 360 version costs an extra $20, so hopefully Guitar Hero guitars keep some better price parity.
Those looking forward to a Christmas of co-op fake guitar action will be disappointed to hear that standalone Guitar Hero 3 wireless guitars will not be in the shops until early next year.

From Fender to Gibson and all the other million guitar makers, there has to be any model you like. Maybe not? Then you are one of those with a really strange taste and this is the post for you. Some of them can not even be played or, at least, are not comfortable enough to do it. With others, you have to be a genius to play. Anyways, all of them have some singularity which makes them special. Let’s enjoy this bizarre tour.

Are you a guitarist who practices a lot, but is not able to make the proper sound from the strings? If this is the case then the problem might be that you are not strumming the strings properly.

Seagull S6 - Slightly higher price. Can be considered an investment.
Yamaha Acoustic Guitar Natural - Solid instrument and a good value.
Takamine G Series G340 - Good bang for the buck.
Fender DG - Low craftsmanship
Epiphone DR-100 - Strictly a beginner guitar. No upside.
Washburn D10S - One of the best-selling guitars in the world.
Blueridge BR-40 - Focus on craftsmanship.
Ibanez AC100NT - Noted for bottom-end tone.
Taylor Baby Taylorl - Liked for its size for young guitarists or small handed players.
Martin LX1 - Another good one for small handed players.

By Michael Russell In the world of guitars, Yamaha isn't exactly the first company that you think of. Known more for keyboards, digital pianos and synthesizers, Yamaha still makes some decent guitars which are more than reasonably priced. We're going to go over some of the guitars that this 40 year old company makes.Yamaha started in 1966 long before the first synthesizer came out. But by the mid 80s they were making some of the best synthesizers on the market, including the classic Dx-7. But in spite of their reputation as a keyboard giant, the land of guitars was not very far away.Yamaha guitars are not the fanciest looking models around but they do have a decent sound. The AES series includes the AES 420 through 920 series numbers, with the exception of the 820 which doesn't exist. No explanation is given for the missing number.The Pacifica series, which has a somewhat sleeker look than the AES series, includes the PAC 012 through 812, again missing a couple of series numbers inc
By Michael Russell Alongside guitar names like Gibson and Fender, you can't mention the best of the best without adding the name of Rickenbacker. This company has been around since 1931, but it wasn't until 1956, on its 25th anniversary, when Rickenbacker began to make a name for itself in the world of guitars.That year, Rickenbacker introduced the Combo 400. Guitar collectors call it the guitar with the butterfly style body. But Rickenbacker didn't stop there. That same year they added a solid body electric bass guitar. The one thing about these guitars that made them different from any other guitar was that they had necks that extended from the head to the bass of the body. Today they call this neck through body construction. Rickenbacker was the first company to make guitars like this and soon came to be a trademark of the company.During the 1950s, Rickenbacker had many popular models. Probably the most popular were the hollow body six string Capri models. This guitar was first u
