52 Guitars, week 38—Daisy Rock Bangles Signature Guitar

Let’s get one thing straight. I’m a man.

Now that I’ve got that off my obviously hairy chest, I’d like to add the Daisy Rock Guitars Bangles Signature model to my wishlist of 52 guitars. I’d already stated on Twitter that I was man enough to like Daisy Rock Guitars and I received an awesome response letting me know the necks are thinner and more lightweight. This is ideal for women who want to rock and lazy men like me. The advice I was given actually went like this. … 52 Guitars, week 38—Daisy Rock Bangles Signature Guitar

52 Guitars, week 37—Reverend Manta Ray HB

I love a well designed double cutaway with a three-a-side headstock. It works incredibly well for the Gibson SG and it absolutely works well with the Reverend Manta Ray HB. What I love in particular with this model of Reverend guitar is that it appears symmetrical even though it isn’t as symmetrical as it could be. The headstock is angled at the end and the body has an f-hole on one side of the body. Still with all its other parts laid out, it works a treat.

My obvious favourite finish is the black, but the Tobacco Burst Flame Maple complete with Bigsby bridge is also an amazing looking guitar. … 52 Guitars, week 37—Reverend Manta Ray HB

52 Guitars, week 36—Gittler Guitar

Regular readers of this blog will know I look for a few things in my guitars before I add them to this wishlist. Those things are uniqueness, the ability to purchase the guitar in black or white and that whole cool factor. According to what I’ve read in the Gittler Guitar‘s Press Kit, this guitar ticks all of those boxes. People who follow me on Twitter would also know I’m partial to metal (the musical genre). Well this guitar is almost completely metal (material). The Gittler Guitar keeps on ticking the right boxes! … 52 Guitars, week 36—Gittler Guitar

Lick of the Day collaboration

A few days ago I posted a very quick riff I’d called From Go to Woah! that I’d created using IK Multimedia’s AmpliTube on the iPad. Not long after posting that riff to SoundCloud Dave from the Lick of the Day website asked if he could record a solo over it. I said “Sure” and sent Dave my exported WAV and MP3 files from AmpliTube.

Before I could say “Yngwie Malmsteen is a ferociously fast guitar player who has a fascination with Ferraris and Rolexs” Dave had created his solo, laid it over my backing track and released it as his latest Lick of the Day with video and tab for all to enjoy. Dave’s solo track is entitled Don’t poke the Scarebear. Obviously, I love it. … Lick of the Day collaboration

52 Guitars, week 33—GJ2 Concorde

At the time of writing, the best guitar in my small collection of guitars is my Jackson RR3. It’s my most expensive guitar and it’s the guitar I planned for more than any other. Why? Randy Rhoads. Ever since seeing footage of Randy Rhoads playing his Jackson I wanted one. The GJ2 Concorde looks very similar to the Jackson Randy Rhoads models. It should too. It’s designed and built by Grover Jackson (Hence the GJ name). Grover Jackson designed this guitar shape with Randy Rhoads. How could you not want a piece of that action?! … 52 Guitars, week 33—GJ2 Concorde
