How are Gibson's Made?

This link was put up by Gibson's Twitter account. I hate the way they make their guitars now but it's still a really interesting read regardless.

Another good deal. Timmy Overdrive Pedal

Google "Timmy Paul Cochrane" and do your research on the Timmy overdrive pedal. You will find that they are highly coveted and that prices can get pretty high on them in the secondhand market. Once you decide you need to own one FAST, here's a pretty solid deal on the Timmy overdrive by Paul Cochrane.

DEAL OF THE CENTURY!

So the Electro-Harmonix Deluxe Memory Man is arguably the best delay ever made. Electro-Harmonix continues to use new-old-stock (NOS) chips made in Japan (MN3005 and MN3008) in these pedals which have been out of production for years. Once these chips are all used up, the pedal is done. EHX stopped making the original version of the pedal and have made a smaller version that is more pedalboard friendly. Both go for big prices but the older version goes for BIG money.

In my usual ebay searches, I found this deal and thought I would try and help someone find it.

Overdue Update - Keith Richards video

Well it has been a long time since I've posted. TOO LONG! Anyway, I thought I would throw up this Keith Richards video I saw on Youtube the other day. This is why guitars are such great objects. They are so versatile and useful in so many ways.

A Little Fun - Jake Shimabukuro

So, this is closely related to guitar...ok, it's just a fun couple of videos. An experienced genius of a pro and a rising star.





EDIT: I added this video too because it's a better, cleaner version of Jake Shimabukuro doing "While My Guitar Gently Weeps." It's a lot longer but it's amazing and better sound quality.

Bass Equipment

This blog has a huge gaping void (some may think many) and I believe that to be information related to the bass guitar. I feel like this blog needs to cover this side of "guitar world" to really fulfill its purpose but unfortunately I don't know much about bass gear. I would love for someone to help me out with this. Please email me at billsguitarblog@gmail.com if you want to help out.
