“If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” would be a good summation of the history of guitar design. Whatever axe you choose to play today, won’t be so dissimilar from the ones the Stones, Zeppelin (unless Jimmy Page brought up... continue...
There comes a point in every guy’s life when he contemplates learning guitar. Often it stems from a belief that playing “Stairway to Heaven” will make panties fly off. Those who stick with it past the initial fingertip callouses usually... continue...
Kurt Cobain might have been the harbinger of death for hair metal, but he also did quite a few really awesome things. He made plaid cool again. He sang and strummed in a way that made all of us neurotic teenagers feel normal. He let Dave Grohl play drums.... continue...
Plastic was a fantastic invention. Thousands of things could be mass produced quickly and cheaply which made them readily available to everyone. Odds are though, if you can make it in wood it will probably do its job better and it will definitely look... continue...

You’ve probably already heard us talking about The Pick Punch, you may have even seen it while perusing the virtual aisles of our shop, but now you can see its greatness without having to read a single word (except these). We figured there wasn’t... continue...
Unless you’re Dave Grohl or some other mega-famous guitar player (we’ll assume you aren’t, our apologies to Dave who is no doubt reading this) you may not want to be chucking these bad boys into the crowd after your next gig. The Light... continue...
