Taylor Guitars is celebrating fall with an exciting array of 2008 Fall Limited Editions, which feature two of the world's most beautiful and sought-after tonewoods, Hawaiian koa and Mexican cocobolo. In a unique touch for Taylor, the 2008 Fall Limited Editions have Adirondack spruce bracing, a sound enhancement that company President Bob Taylor calls "magical."
"All the notes across the spectrum become both more powerful and sweeter with Adirondack," says Taylor. "It has a curious elasticity which is really exploited when we use it for bracing."
The 2008 Fall Limiteds are offered in two distinct koa/cocobolo combinations; for instance, a Koa GS Limited will have exquisite, shimmering Hawaiian koa back and sides, and a mini back-wedge and binding of reddish-orange cocobolo. On a Cocobolo GS Limited, the woods are reversed, with swirling red-figured cocobolo forming the back and sides, and visual accents provided by a koa mini-wedge and koa binding. Non-cutaway Koa GS Limited and Cocobolo GS Limiteds are also available.
Taylor's popular Grand Auditorium body shape is well-represented in the 2008 Fall Limited lineup by the Koa GA Limited and Cocobolo GA Limited, and small-bodied, non-cutaway Grand Concerts, the Koa GC Limited and Cocobolo GC Limited, are also available, with a choice of either Taylor's classic crowned peghead, or an elegant slotted headstock.
All 2008 Fall Limited Editions have a Sitka spruce top, a cocobolo backstrap, delicate pinstripe binding along the fretboard and peghead. Appointments include Gold Gotoh tuners; bone nut and saddle and abalone top. All Taylor 2008 Fall Limiteds come with Taylor's Expression System® pickup, for premium quality amplified acoustic sound.
Taylor is also releasing a 714ce-LTD with upgraded back and sides of Hawaiian koa, a gently sloping Venetian cutaway, and a top of Western Red cedar, for the distinctive "airy" sound and excellent note definition that fingerstylists love. Appointments include dusky Indian rosewood body binding, sparkling abalone fretboard dots, and an abalone soundhole rosette. Gold-plated
tuners complete the feature upgrade for this limited edition version of one of Taylor's most popular deluxe models. The 714ce-LTD comes with a Taylor deluxe hardshell case
The Taylor 2008 Fall Limiteds and 714ce-LTD will ship in late summer.

Squier Introduces Classic Vibe Precision Bass® '50s
June 27, 2008
When it comes to the early '50s Fender® Precision Bass®, the playing experience is unique both in terms of sound and feel.

Open gear tuning machines sit atop a gloss 20 fret maple neck, both solid and stable. Modern refinements such as the flatter 9.5" radius and HiMass 4 saddle bridge make this bass more user friendly in terms of set up and playability. A winner with killer looks and a unqiue voice!

New Guitar Hero Guitar Not So Gibson-Like
MMR Update June 27, 2008
New Guitar Hero Guitar Not So Gibson-Like
Activision, maker of Guitar Hero, has sent pictures showing off its new peripherals for the next game in the Guitar Hero series, World Tour, and it's noticeable that the new guitar accompanying it is not a Gibson, sending a strong signal that the two companies are still at odds with each other. In May Gibson filed a claim in court that the company infringed on a 1999 patent, even though it had worked with the company for years by allowing its Les Paul guitar likeness to be used. Activision quickly filed a countersuit.
In other Guitar Hero news, Beatles representatives are in talks with Activision about creating a Beatles-themed game, according to a report on the Financial Times website. A source has apparently said that should a deal materialize it will be worth millions of dollars and could be reached in a matter of weeks.Industry observers can't help but notice that the speed of this deal stands in stark contrast to how slowly the rights holders of The Beatles' music typically move. For example, Sir Paul McCartney has been saying for years that they are "very close" to a deal with Apple's iTunes to allow The Beatles' music to be purchased through the online vendor, without an arrangment ever materializing.

Randall Offers New Bass Amp Series
Randall Amplifiers proudly introduces the new RB series of heads and speaker cabinets. The new series includes three heads and four cabinets with varying power levels. The three RB amps include the RB750, RB500, and RB300. Designed for the serious working professional, the Tube/MOSFET power circuit pushes authentic power tube tone without the costs and headaches associated with real power tubes. Each model also includes a foot-switchable overdrive circuit for light to heavy distortion and a studio-quality compression circuit that softly squeezes the signal without dropping the volume or revoicing the tone. The XLT bass cabinets are tailor made to pair with the RB series heads. Each XLT cabinet is hand crafted using 3/4" void free birch plywood for tight, solid tone. They are available in 8" x 10", 4" x 10", 4" x 12", and 1" x 15" options. The MSRP is $1,599.

Includes a Rebate:
Mail-In Rebate!
Receive $100 back when you buy either the MC412A or MC412B guitar extension cabinet between June 1, 2008, and September 30, 2008. Buy both and get $200 back!
Marshall's cab for the player on a budget.
The sonic power and iconic presence of a full stack has been the dream of many guitarists. Marshall fulfills those dreams and presents the MC cabinet series. This series of entry level guitar speaker cabinets puts a real Marshall full size 4x12" stack within reach of many for the first time.
Made at the UK factory and loaded with Celestion speakers, Marshall engineers have worked hard to ensure that these are the most affordable full size Marshall guitar speaker cabinets available, while still providing the sonics and build quality that are more than worthy of the badge they wear.
The MC412's 200 Watts of power, combined with the same flexible Mono/Stereo switching of the 1960 cabinets, means it will handle any Marshall guitar head with ease. Marshall recommends using 4 Ohms for getting full power out of the MG and AVT heads, while the 16 Ohms setting is preferable for use with Marshall valve heads.

New Canadian-Made Archtop Acoustics From Godin - Only $519.99
The archtop acoustic of the past, for today's modern musician.
The Godin 5th Avenue brings you back to a time when the archtop acoustic guitar reigned supreme. With the soul of a 1950's archtop, the 5th Avenue is true to the vintage spirit of yesterday with today's level of modern playability. With more projection and volume in the low and mid tones than traditional archtop acoustic guitars, the dynamically rich tone of the 5th Avenue makes this sophisticated guitar a dream to play, but not a nightmare to pay for. The Godin 5th Avenue now makes the affordable North American archtop guitar a reality!
A great deal of time and research went into crafting the 5th Avenue. Revoiced for the music of today, it would not seem unfamiliar for this guitar to be seen in the hands of artists the likes of Jeff Tweedy (Wilco), Ryan Adams, or even Jack White (White Stripes). From Alt-Country, Delta Blues, Slide, Jazz to Rock, the 5th Avenue archtop guitar can really deliver.
Made from Canadian wild cherry, the 5th Avenue guitar's body features a molded arched top and back, as well as an adjustable rosewood bridge, classic f-holes, contoured high-gloss headstock, floating pickguard and cream binding. The rustic beauty of its custom polished finish gives the 5th Avenue archtop a gorgeous satin sheen reminiscent of 19th century French polish.

Product Spotlight: TASCAM MP-GT1
Product Spotlight: TASCAM MP-GT1
By Jeff Laity
Marketing Manager, TASCAM
TASCAM’s MP-GT1 is the first MP3 player designed for musicians. Based on our award-winning CD Trainers, this fun, mobile guitar trainer includes enough memory to store up to 240 songs. Guitar parts can be slowed down, looped, and even eliminated to help you to learn new riffs and play along. Play back MP3s using Variable Speed Audition, which slows down the speed without changing the pitch, and sections can be seamlessly looped while practicing tricky passages. Songs can even be pitched up or down to match the tuning of your guitar, so you don’t have to retune for every song.
Plug in and burn
A great musician is always learning new music, but few pieces of gear have come along to help you play better. TASCAM launched our CD-GT1 more than five years ago, and the CD-GT2 is the latest generation of that trainer. When Leland Sklar needed to learn the Toto catalog for their world tour, he used one of our bass trainers before getting onstage. The MP-GT1 is an even more portable version of our award-winning trainers, storing 240 songs in a package smaller than a stompbox. (240 songs may not sound like much, until you start to learn them all. . .)
TASCAM MP-GT1 Portable MP3 Guitar TrainerOnce you’ve loaded MP3 files into the MP-GT1—using the high-speed USB connection that also charges the unit —take advantage of the Variable Speed Audition features. During playback, press the I/O button before a lick you want to learn, then press it again after the lick ends. That’s all you need to do to loop and start practicing the section of a song. Accessing the Variable Speed Audition features, you can change the playback tempo to half speed without changing the pitch, so you don’t have to retune your guitar. As you learn the part note-by-note, gradually increase the tempo back to full speed, or even up to +16% speed when you’re ready to burn.
If the recording was made at a different tuning than your guitar, like drop-tuned to D or Db, you can change the tuning of the playback to match your guitar without retuning. There’s a Guitar Eliminate feature that removes the original part from the recording for playing the part with the original backup band. A chromatic tuner and metronome are also included—the metronome is helpful for practicing scales and warming up.
We didn’t forget the tone
The guitar input lets you rock along with thick overdrive, amp simulation, and multi-effects like delay, reverb, flange, and tremolo. Just plug into the 1/4" jack and use the balance buttons to control the mix between your guitar and the MP3. There’s a line out if you want to use the MP-GT1 for recording or as a preamp. With the Guitar Cancel feature, you can record your own solo fronting the best bands in the world.
Also available from TASCAM, the MP-BT1 Bass Trainer includes effects tailored for bass-like compression and chorus. The playback section includes a Bass Enhance effect so you can pick out the bass parts on classic albums, and a Bass Cut function so you can play along. There’s also an MP-VT1 trainer for vocals, keyboards, brass, and wind instruments.
The MP-GT1 uses a high-speed USB connection to load up MP3s and charge the built-in battery. Zip through your MP3 collection using a data wheel, dedicated buttons, and a graphical LCD display. A rechargeable nine-hour lithium ion battery is built into the unit and an optional power supply is also available
Put 240 songs in your gig bag with the MP-GT1, the first MP3 Trainer designed for musicians.

Danelectro Dano 63
Danelectro Dano 63 Electric Guitar Black
Retro love: Sound, looks, feel, price.
The Dano 63 is a remake of the original '63 electric guitar that launched a thousand garage bands and more than a few pro careers. The body construction is just like the originals with a hardboard top and bottom laminated to a plywood frame. The hollow inner chamber produces the resonance that is part of Danelectro's unique tone.The '60s era lipstick pickups have been replicated to be hot, sweet, and to sound just right.
