Robin guitars have been around since the early 80’s and were manufactured until 2010. I remember seeing ads for Robin guitars in both Guitar Player and Guitar World in the 80’s, but hadn’t remembered them until recently when I saw one for sale on...

The image shown is that of the Joe Bonamassa Epiphone Flying V (1958). Everyone who’s read my blog knows of my distaste for Epiphone guitars. Back in the 90’s and 2000’s the quality was so bad that you had to set them up one you bought one and...

There’s not much more classic than an Epiphone Casino Guitar. You’ll probably immediately think of the Beatles. You’ll love the light weight and comfortable neck of the Epiphone Elitist 1965 Casino. The Elite series are instruments that approach...

Have you ever heard of Ovation UKII electric guitars from the late 70’s or early 80’s? You have probably only ever thought of Ovation as an acoustic guitar manufacturer. But there was a time when they made electric guitars too. And the electric guitars...

In the Led Zeppelin Earls Court performance in 1975 video you’ll see that Jimmy Page plays a 1959 Danelectro on the song “In My Time of Dying”. This is kind of rare because Page is known for his love of Gibson guitars and particularly the Les Paul....

You may not have heard of DiPinto guitars before, but the Belevdere is a throwback to old school guitars of the 60’s with lots of pizazz and flair. Talk about sparkle and plastic! Think about the days of the old Airline guitars, but with a Les Paul shape and...

Gibson released ES-339 custom in 2007. They released the ES-335 in 1958, and everyone knows that distinctive semi-hollow body guitar for it’s fat resonant tone. That’s a very versatile guitar that can work equally as well for jazz, rock, country, or...

I wanted to write this page of Guitar Player gifts – because people often ask me what to get a guitarist for Christmas. Not just for me, but people I know as well! I got the Guitar Center catalog the other day, and a lot of times I don’t see much, but they...
Feb 1, 2016 | Guitar Reviews, Washburn
This is my review of the Washburn X50 and X50 Pro FE guitars with the Buzz Feiten tuning system. Another manufacturer that I think is highly underrated is Washburn Guitars. For 100 years they have been making quality instruments, but since the 80’s Washburn has...

This isn’t a review as much as it is they story of how I came to own my favorite and probably most played guitar of all time. My white EVH Wolfgang special. This is what it looked like the day it arrived in the mail. I had seen pictures of it online, but I had...
