NEW Synaptic Amp – Modern advances in consumer recording and live sound have changed guitarist’s expectations for their amps. High-powered stacks may retain their appeal for stadium tours and large outdoor festivals but artists gigging in bar and club venues are increasingly realizing the limitations excessive wattages impose on their tone. With quality low-power amps increasingly in demand many boutique companies have turned to cloning the venerable single-ended designs of the 50′s and 60′s. NEW Synaptic Amp !

The Mystery of Jed Clampett Solved ! – I remember seeing the Beverly Hillbillies when I was home from school sick and that Jed came out playing a double neck guitar. For many years I thought Jed was the original user of the Gibson ES-1295 Double Neck prior to Page in the Zeppelin days. I had always envisioned Jed as the pioneer of the double neck and pure genuis because of this, but I did a search on a youtube and in fact it was a Danelectro double neck. This shoots the Gibson ES-1295 theory but maybe Jed lent Pagey his single neck Dano for Stairway ? Click picture for footage !
