		<description><![CDATA[Thanks to Guitar World for posting this piece about guy who made a guitar with a Millennium Falcon shaped body. Bulky, but cool. Working lights and sounds and an R2-D2 headstock. This one is for all the adolescents and adultescents out there who dream of playing funky guitar in that bar in a land far, far away&#8230; And on the subject, this band claims to be from &#8220;Mosh Eisley.&#8221; OMG!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Unless you have lived in a bubble, you&#8217;ve heard of Van Halen&#8217;s reunion. First it was the stealth reunion concert at small club Cafe Wha in New York City, which was the announcement that frontman, singer David Lee Roth was uniting with Eddie Van Halen once again. Then the single relase of Tattoo, and next the album, A Different Kind of Truth released this February 7th. Video clip. Much talked about, much anticipated, and now it is here with reviews and a #2 Billboard slot. A bit controversial, too, likely a good things for sales. Some love it, some hate [...]]]></description>

No computer routers back then, all hand built guitars. As pointed out, every guitar made by hand in that shop then is worth a small fortune today.]]></description>

His brand, Fano Guitars, is part of the Premier Builders Guild group of luthiers. I lust after the Fano Alt De Facto RB6. &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; Fano Guitars has also introduced a new retro modern electric guitar with a lucite body. Intriguing. Unveiled at NAMM 2012. &#160; Ibanez has a new George Benson model hollowbody jazz guitar. Looks nice. Thanks to GuitarSite.com for the post, looks like a good blog site I [...]]]></description>

Rocks, sparkling, etc. And I am hoping that I get a guitar. Maybe even a, wait for it, Steampunk guitar. Huh? That&#8217;s right, we&#8217;re talking playable art. Tony Cochran Guitars This innovative luthier and syndicated cartoonist has touched a nerve with his artistic and playable Steampunk guitars. Each one starts with copies of classic guitars that he has acquired, and each is put together lovingly by Tony, from bits, pieces and oddities that he collects. His guitars are all unique [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I know it is time to review February guitar mags when I buy the first few March titles on the newsstand. I&#8217;m starting to track seven titles: Guitar Player, Guitar &#38; Bass, Guitarist, Guitar World, Guitar Techniques, Total Guitar, Premier Guitar. Month after month they crank out tons of editorial and gobs of glossy ads to salivate over. That being said, not every issue every month is necessarily worth reviewing, so I&#8217;ll pick out the highlights and try to leave out the dross. Here&#8217;s this month&#8217;s roundups of what&#8217;s interesting in the world of electric guitars, acoustic guitars, and gear [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Go Giants! Oh, right, this is a music blog. Kudos to the bloggers at Guitar Noize, who consistently show us great guitars, often unique, and excellent coverage of news from NAMM and the world of guitar music. Today&#8217;s we have a one-of-a-kind 8-string guitar featured. It belongs to Misha Mansoor, of the group Periphery, part of the Djent movement in heavy and prog metal. Wow, this is one unique guitar. Click over to Guitar Noize for the complete story, but check out the pics, it&#8217;s built by Florida based luthier John Dell’Isola and note that the neck is made up of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[More on the PRS Experience event at Rudy&#8217;s Music in Soho, NYC. In addition to seeing the great band with Davy Knowles and David Grissom play two fine blues tunes, we were treated to a 15-minute guitar clinic on tone from great artist and session player David Grissom. Grissom started by turning off his stompboxs. He was using a new PRS amp modded by master amp-maker Doug Sewell. (Doug was also at the event modding amps behind the counter.) Using his sweet signature PRS DGT guitar, he demonstrated how he had a great crunchy rhythm tone and a clear tone without [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last November, several months ago, I went to Rudy&#8217;s Music in Soho to check out the PRS Experience traveling show. They came to the store and took it over for the day. Paul Reed Smith, the designer who turbo charged the electric guitar with his boutique designs and luthier work in the &#8217;70s, came with an entire team of PRS staffers and a demo band with two headliners, Davy Knowles and David Grissom. As well as acoustic maestro Tony McManus. I&#8217;m a fan of Davy&#8217;s music and thought it would be cool to meet him and the man, Paul Reed [...]]]></description>

From Hypebot: Indie label launches new music subscription model. Interesting idea from Stones Throw Records, you pay $10 per month and get all their music, from all their signed artists. Details from the label here. From GuitarNoize: Gibson unveils metal Les Paul Studio at NAMM 2012, even has a Floyd Rose Trem, sacrilegious! From Jason Shadrick, associate editor of Premier Guitar magazine: His fave 2011 picks of the PG gear video rig rundowns, where artists and their techs show their gear and give a rundown of information.
