  • it’s Halloween, and it is Frankentele

    you know what time it is and there’s nothing more interesting than a Frankentele. as you knew that telecaster gained incredible fans all over the world because its sound and its simplicity. there are lots of people want to have their own telecaster based on their personal ideas. simply taking telecasters into new genre without disrespecting its history. it’s an amazing story, seeing what telecasters had been through. and i really want to start with the famous one, Steve Morse’s  Frankenstein telecaster. we know who Frankenstein is as well as we know what a telecaster is.

    from what i got from musicradar’s article about frankentele, it is really a constant revision and improvement guitar. Stratocaster neck attached into a Fender Telecaster body, installed Gibson Tune-o-matic bridge, a set of Gibson frets and a 12-string tailpiece, also a group of pickups were Steve Morse’s ideas on how to build a frankentele. you can also get info from Steve Morse’s site about his frankenstein telecaster.

    well, are frankenteles scary enough for your Halloween? you should have one actually. telecaster inspires lots of musicians and i think I’ll build one of my own frankentele, although my spalted maple tele is a branded franken tele, too with great sound and craftsmanship. there are best guitar parts around and i REALLY want to put them on telecaster model and see what happen.. is an annoying curiosity though..

  • Marshall MS-2, cute little hard rock served on your desk

    Marshall MS-2, cute little hard rock served on your desk

    This Marshall MS-2 sounds louder than you think. yes, it’s a mini-amps product by +Marshall Amplification and you can have much fun with this. I bought this new and it’s made by Marshall manufacture in Vietnam. Marshall Amplification is a British company, well-known as one of the best guitar amps builders. You may have the big ones, but for this Marshall MS2 Micro Amp, I’d say this is my good stuff.one thing i like about Marshall Amps is that they are being honest about the guitar tones. they will amplify anything that came out from any kind of guitar honestly. if your guitar has ugly sound (like my lovely first electric guitar), then Marshall amps will take that ugly tone into the loudest sound you’ve ever heard.  Actually it’s a real good thing, if you want to buy a new guitar, please consider to hear it through Marshall Amps. (hear check sound: marshall ms-2 here)

    here few pictures i made:

    what can make you relax sittin’ on your back while you were singing your favorite songs? it’s an acoustic guitar. yes, indeed. the …yes, this is the sound check via video camera. I’m pretty sure you’ve seen my post above about my Yamaha C40 Full Size Nylon-String Classical Guitar previously. it sounds good, while you’ll see that my finger can’t adapt to the fretboard. big fretboard, big nylon strings. it’s too hard for me actually (good excuse for ugly playing,huh? haha)

  • Les Paul Gibson, got any words of it?

    Gibson Guitar is a worldwide guitar brand and i guess that every human in this world has met with its design. an American maker of guitars which successfully put their products into every guitarists’ dream in tasting the great sound and experiencing its magnificent craftsmanship through guitar playing. and other instruments, now based in Nashville, Tennessee. in Kalamazoo, Michigan, Orville Gibson founded The Gibson Mandolin-Guitar Mfg. Co., Ltd. in 1902 as mandolin-family instruments company. best part of Gibson invention is arch-top guitars model by constructing violin-like guitar models. their flattop acoustic guitars is a legendary legacy through time known as hollow-body electric guitars.And Yes, Gibson has it. one of the world’s most collectible and iconic guitars, the Gibson Les Paul. And since then, Gibson built famous guitar models which are imitated by lot of guitar brands, I’ll say it,”Gibson guitar is an inspiration”. Gibson company has legal copies of its famous guitar models which are cheaper than guitars with Gibson name on them. For example, the Les Paul model is sold under the Epiphone brand, while they have their own model such like the Sheraton and Casino, and i have a Les Paul style guitar, the gorgeous Gretsch Electromatic Pro Jet. there are so many variant in designs for Les Paul model itself. too many? i guess it’s not, since these models built modern music through time. here are few pictures of them:
