  • Episode 349 - Epiphone 1963 Firebird I

    Episode 349 - Epiphone 1963 Firebird I
    Jan 15 2025
    In 1963 Gibson introduced the Firebird series of guitars. It came in multiple variations, with several options. The “lowest” model was the Firebird I, so named because of its single pickup. Now, as part of its “Inspired by Gibson Custom” series, there is an Epiphone 1963 Firebird I. In our humble opinion, its simplicity makes it somehow cooler than the rest. Enjoy! Like the show?

    Episode 348 - Hamer Steve Stevens SS2
    Jan 8 2025
    Hamer had a long history of making great guitars, especially for the metal crowd. It shouldn’t come as a surprise, then, that not only did Steve Stevens have a signature model named after him, but he played it in the Top Gun Anthem video. Double cool. Enjoy! Like the show?

    Episode 347 - Yamaha Samurai SG12A
    Jan 1 2025
    Yamaha was founded in 1887 by Torakusu Yamaha. Dealing primarily in keyboard instruments, it took a while to get around to designing electric guitars. But in the 1960s they did exactly that. One of the most unique shapes they came up with was known as the “Flying Samurai”. Enjoy! Like the show?

    Episode 344 - Dwight Guitars
    Dec 11 2024
    Man, that Dwight guitar sure does look like an Epiphone Coronet, you might be thinking. You’ve got a sharp eye my friends - back in the day, the fine folk from Kalamazoo badged some Coronets for Sunny Shields Music in Illinois. Enjoy! Like the show?

    Episode 343 - Jackson Monarkh Baritone
    Dec 4 2024
    It was Danelectro that brought us the baritone electric guitar, but it’s Jackson that has now released what is perhaps the doomiest version of that instrument. We tried our hand at some death metal this week (glad that’s over). Enjoy! Like the show?
