For me, Joe Satriani IS great virtuoso. his albums and style of playing are the inspirations for all guitarist all around the world. nobody can forget “always with me, always with you” as its rhythm intro plays. And the best part of satriani is his personality. you can see how humble he is and always encourage other guitarists to keep their spirit in learning and playing guitar, no matter how hard, with any methods we like.

Old Fernandes Revolver still rocks!
While until now i still keep my saving to get a fine Telecaster, i currently use Fernandes, a 90’s guitar japanese made. Old enough with good treatment. i bought it from my friend’s store about a half year ago.

Fernandes Revolver FR-55T Made in Japan 90’s era

It is a good guitar with stratocaster tone. with a reasonable price, i got a worth maple wood guitar japanese made. the pickup is Fernandes’, the nuts and the bridge are Gotoh. this is Fernandes Revolver FR-55T Made in Japan 90’s era. Sugoi !

hmm.. what can i say more about this guitar? it well-suited on my hands although i prefer my other custom-made guitar which has smaller guitar neck.
```
yes, i'm a little guitar guy with bunch of difficulties in learning guitar and still wondering how to play it in best style i can get.
```
But, indeed it is an old guitar. it has noise as i guess it’s because the circuitry needs to be repaired. renew them with the newest technology. yes, DiMarzio or Seymour Duncan’s stuff would be the best i can get to optimize this guitar performance.
well, i might need to change the bridge, it rusted a little bit. and a lot more i want for enhancements.

but,… on the second thought, i’d like to keep it classic. it would sound like that i have something valuable from the past. i won’t try to make it a “worn-out guitar” by scratching it here and there. i don’t have a heart to do it. when i need a new one, I WILL get one.

here I upload some pictures of it, and what I got form digging information about this guitar is very interesting. Fernandes guitar has been evolving rapidly. they have fine-crafted guitars with good woods and fine materials. Here are some the newest Fernandes products you might be interested in.

nowadays, Fernandes guitar is claimed as rocker’s need while I have the old one with the blues tone. and I think it’s because the pickups evolution. Fernandes Guitars have sustainer system inside them which is likely similar to an E-Bow. I mean the latest ones have them.

I’m still using this guitar because i like the tone its created. that’s enough for now i guess. Another model of fernandes guitar I own goes here >> Fernandes FR55 MTV guitar

and one more model i owned is a Fernandes strat style:

and probably the last thing happened with them is they’re gone for good! please check my article about the Fernandes guitar newest update .

I’ll see you around

Transtube Technology by Peavey on PEAVEY bandit 112 guitar amplifier

for couple days i was wandering around looking for what i want to write, and i think i found something interesting. i was on stage performing music with my band and there was a bandit there. A PEAVEY bandit 112 guitar amplifier with transtube technology. such a good looking amp with clean design. it has wide range of tone options while its size is suitable for small room.

what interested does the Transtube technology have?

i guess peavey want their position back like in the 90’s era when peavey is one of best brand options.

as you can see these knobs are neat and the knobs and switches has “vintage” and “warm” options which are making you easier to get the tone you want. well i couldn’t make any videos about this amp, but you may find good reviews about Peavey Bandit 112 TransTube Amplifier on youtube.
yes, the transtube technology made a significant difference when it comes about this amp
