Gibson SG Diablo Electric Guitar Red Metallic

Gibson SG Diablo Electric Guitar Red Metallic

Gibson SG Diablo Electric Guitar Red Metallic

The SG was a futuristic design when it was introduced in 1961, and the Diablo adds a unique depth and, if possible, higher class. The carved top on this mahogany axe lends a 3D effect to the look and a slightly different brilliance and punch to the sound as well. Still here are the set-in, rounded mahogany neck with rosewood fretboard, Burstbucker Pro pickups and Nashville Tune-o-matic bridge. Grover tuners and gold hardware seal the deal.A Little SG History In 1961, the Les Paul was redesigned with a thinner body and two sharp cutaway horns that making the upper frets more accessible while lowering production costs. The new guitar was popular, but Les Paul the guitarist did not like it and asked to have his name removed. Gibson renamed the model the "SG" which was short for "solid guitar". Though Les Paul's name was officially removed from the model in 1961, the plastic Les Paul nameplates (positioned between the rhythm pickup and fingerboard) were in abundance in the Gibson factory and SG models having these nameplates were built and sold by Gibson up to end of 1963. SGs have been the choice of world-class artists such as Pete Townsend, Eric Clapton, Tony Iommi, and Angus Young.

ESP LTD H-1001 Electric Guitar with Seymour Duncans

ESP LTD H-1001 Electric Guitar with Seymour Duncans Amber Cherry Sunburst


ESP LTD H-1001 Electric Guitar with Seymour Duncans Amber Cherry Sunburst

The LTD H-1001 guitar features a set-thru 3-piece maple neck, mahogany body with gorgeous quilted maple top, and a rosewood fretboard. The thin U-shaped neck with 24 extra jumbo frets provides comfort and speed. A Seymour Duncan JB humbucking pickup in the bridge and a '59 at the neck position provide plenty of power and note definition. Schaller Locking tuners and an ESP BB-605 bridge keep you tuned and intoned, so you'll sound your best. Volume, tone and a 3-way toggle give you options with simplicity. Black hardware, offset abalone block inlays and white with abalone purfling finish off a great look.Set-thru neck construction is an innovative technique in which the neck is glued to the body (like a set neck), however the traditional bulky heel is carved away (similar to neck-thru-body construction). This makes access to the upper frets and the neck-to-body transition much smoother. Just as on a set neck, you will get a combination of tone from both the neck and body with the set-thru construction. The sound will depend on the types of wood used, but generally will have a fuller, warmer tone when compared to most neck-thru-body guitars.

Gibson Memphis Alex Lifeson ES-355

Gibson Memphis Alex Lifeson ES-355 Semi Hollow Electric Guitar Alpine White


Gibson Memphis Alex Lifeson ES-355 Semi Hollow Electric Guitar Alpine White

The Alex Lifeson ES-355 features a maple body, 3-piece maple neck, '57 Classic pickups with individual volume and tone controls, and a Maestro Long vibrola tailpiece. It would be the consummate prog rock machine even if it weren't the chosen axe of the Rush guitarist, but because it is, you know it's got the goods. The Vibrola is one of the least wood-invasive tremolo options, keeping the belly of this archtop guitar remarkably pristine and preserving its natural resonance. The Alex Lifeson Signature ES-355's individual volume and tone controls for each of the '57 Classic pickups give you full reign over the wide spectrum of tones of which these faithful Alnico II replicas of the 1950s PAF humbuckers are capable.For 33 years, Rush guitarist Alex Lifeson has personified the consummate rock innovator a sonic adventurer capable of producing mind-blowing power chords and dizzying arpeggios alike, ultimately sculpting them into huge, rich melodies and ingenious arrangements. Throughout most of Lifeson's ride to superstardom, a 1976 Gibson ES-355 has been by his side, both in the studio and on stage. With it, he has created many of Rush's breathtaking layered soundscapes, and the very same ES-355 continues to be an indispensable part of his live arsenal. This Gibson electric guitar is a painstaking recreation of the iconic instrument. It's Gibson's heartfelt tribute to a true modern master, and to the guitar he used to expand the definition of popular music.The Custom Shop Difference Passion.

Egnater Products Tourmaster Series 4100 100W All Tube Guitar Amp Head

Egnater Products Tourmaster Series 4100 100W All Tube Guitar Amp Head Black/Beige


Egnater Products Tourmaster Series 4100 100W All Tube Guitar Amp Head Black/Beige

Each of the Tourmaster 4100 amp head's channels has an identical set of controls, but that is where the similarities end.Clean/Vintage 1 is the cleanest of the four. Within this channel lives a range of Classic tones ranging from pristine sparkle with the voicing switch set to MODERN to a punchy, aggressive drive (think clean JTM) in the CLASSIC mode. Pressing the button to activate the CONTOUR control opens an entire new range of beautiful clean, almost acoustic, tones not often found in a tube amplifier.Clean/Vintage 2 has a very similar voicing to the Clean/Vintage 1 channel. This channel has more gain, so it can be pushed into mild overdrive. Sweet blues and classic rock tones are easily coaxed out of this channel. The contour knob adds another level of unique flavors.Overdrive 1: From AC/DC crunch to modern rock, this channel covers a lot of bases all by itself. Dial down the gain and the feel is pure classic rock. Push the gain and enter into more modern, saturated territory. Scoop the mids with the CONTOUR control for monstrous metal or set it for classic British rhythm.Overdrive 2: The Tourmaster s most intense channel, you ll find ferocious gain with a wide range of tones to suit the 80s shredder as well as the heaviest modern metal player. Scoop the mids with the powerful CONTOUR control for massive crunch or push the midrange for a solo tone that cuts through with serious authority.Power Grid: This is a really cool feature you will only find on the Egnater Tourmaster amps. Using a group of 5 slide switches on the rear panel, you can set the power output for each channel individually. There is a 3-position slide switch corresponding to each of the four channels and a single FULL POWER/ HALF POWER slide switch. In FULL POWER mode, you can choose between 100w, 50w or 25w per channel. In the HALF POWER mode, you can between choose 50w, 25w or 10w per channel.With the Tourmaster 4100 amp head, you not only have a wide array of tones available from the preamp channels, but with the Power Grid you can introduce any amount of power tube distortion you wish to each channel: all preset, all automatic.

Gibson Custom Shop Jimmy Page Les Paul Custom VOS Electric Guitar with Bigsby Ebony

Gibson Custom Shop Jimmy Page Les Paul Custom VOS Electric Guitar with Bigsby Ebony


In the early days of Led Zeppelin, Jimmy Page relied heavily on a three-pickup 1960 Les Paul custom "Black Beauty" with a Bigsby tailpiece. Unfortunately, the guitar was stolen in 1970 at an airport and never recovered. Page has always felt that that particular electric guitar was "the one that got away."

Gibson proudly returns Page's cherished lost guitar in the form of the Gibson Custom Shop Jimmy Page Les Paul Custom a painstaking recreating of the iconic instrument with the addition of some of the most innovative electronics to ever grace a Les Paul Custom.

The result is this stunning "Black Beauty" with a slim-profile neck, Page BurstBucker pickups, gold Bigsby vibrato and an innovative six-position toggle that lets you isolate the neck and bridge pickups or add the middle in any combination.

In the normal position, the toggle operates like a standard 2 pickup Les Paul toggle: selecting Neck pickup, Neck and Bridge pickup, or Bridge pickup. Push it to the unique forward position, and now you can choose between Neck & Middle, Neck & Middle & Bridge, or Bridge & Middle. A push-pull treble tone knob splits the rear pickup for the traditional Jimmy Page single coil option.

Handcrafted for comfort and playability, this guitar is period accurate, and has received the VOS (Vintage Original Spec) treatment by the Gibson Custom Shop. A special nitro-cellulose finish treatment gives it the patina of a gently-aged vintage electric guitar. The Bigsby tailpiece and the rest of the gold hardware feature a worn look to match.

Limited to a worldwide edition of just 500 guitars, the Gibson Jimmy Page Les Paul Custom is Gibson's heartfelt tribute to a true legend and to the guitar he loved and lost.

Perhaps no one has had a bigger impact on the style and sound of hard rock guitar than the deservedly legendary Jimmy Page. As the musical mastermind of Led Zeppelin, Page's tone, playing, and phrasing made him one of the most influential musicians of the past 50 years.

The exclusive Les Paul electric guitar that bears Page's name also comes with a special Gibson Custom Shop case with silk-screen JP signature Certificate of Authenticity.

* Body & Hardware:
* Carved mahogany top

Forging a new string from fire and ice
Kerly Strings

Any guitar will sound better with a new set of strings—at first. But after playing awhile are the strings still a good fit? Does the guitar stay in tune? How is the action? How do those strings sound after just a little bit of usage? Generally speaking, electric guitarists want strings that are bright, have good magnetic response with the pickup, stay in tune, bend well, feel good, and resist breaking. To meet these requirements, most musicians prefer nickel-plated roundwound strings for their electric guitars.
A better string is out there

As a guitarist, Sean Kerly became dissatisfied with strings that were available—as he put it, "A new set would sound good for only a couple of hours and the high E-string would break too easily. Like me, most guitarists were using the same strings their older brother used, a kind of hand-me-down brand loyalty. Guitarists want to spend their time being creative, writing songs, practicing, and playing gigs, not taking off broken strings, putting on new ones, winding them, stretching them. Why do they need to be bogged down with changing strings more often than they should have to? Strings aren’t living up to expectations."
The PB&J blend

When Sean was working as a buyer in aerospace technology he began to, as he put it, "reload" his brain and his thinking began to go against the grain—the genesis of an innovator. He wanted strings that uniquely met the sound and performance needs of guitarists. To design new strings, Sean says it was a matter of combining aircraft technology with steel string technology—what he calls a PB&J approach. Just as the blending of peanut butter and jelly makes a great sandwich, the blending of aerospace technology with a working musician’s needs results in guitar strings made with a unique and innovative process: Kerly Kues and Sinister Strings.

Metal tempering has been used for centuries to improve the durability of metals. What Kerly came up with is the patented Cyclecoat process of tempering the steel used for guitar strings. Other string manufacturers use a cryogenic treatment that subjects the steel to extremely cold temperatures to improve the durability and tonal quality. Kerly Music’s Cyclecoat takes that thinking one step further to ensure greater durability and extra wear resistance by seasoning the steel with a fire-and-ice treatment: exposure to extreme heat of +350° Fahrenheit and the extreme cold of -320° Fahrenheit.

Kerly says it’s not merely a matter of putting the steel in an oven and then putting it in a freezer. Cyclecoat involves varying the temperature with multiple hot/cold cycles of carefully controlled temperature peaks between the two extremes for 24 hours. The repetitive expansion and contraction of the metal changes its structure, closing up microcracks in the steel—cracks that let in dirt and perspiration causing corrosion leading to tonal loss and premature breakage. With Cyclecoat-treated steel, strengthened at the molecular level, Kerly strings have added tonal crispness, and increased durability, while dramatically resisting corrosive elements that reduce their life and tone.
Kerly Kues

Kerly Kues Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings are designed for the guitarist who wants nickel-plated steel strings that are bright, crisp sounding, durable, and feel real to the touch—that is, without expensive coatings. Each string comes wrapped in a rust-inhibiting, moisture-free sealed pouch. No fumbling around trying to find the right string. Kerly Kues are available in Light gauge (.009-.042), Medium (.010-.046), and Heavy (.011-.048) as well as other gauges.

Sinister Strings

Sinister Strings Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings are designed for the demanding modern guitarist who wants strings that can stand up to the punishment of hard-driving rock guitar playing that includes extreme bending and whammy bar dive-bombing. For the 6-string guitarslinger, Sinister Strings come in Light (.010-.052), Medium (.011-.050), Heavy (.012-052) and Extra Heavy (.012-.056) for players who want more power from their strings. Typically, a heavy gauge set of strings has a wound D-string. Sinister Strings Extra Heavy includes a plain D-string at a beefy .024. For the ultra-modern sounds of the 7-string guitar, Sinister Strings gauges include Light (.009-.052), Medium (.010-.056), and Heavy (.011-.058).

Gibson Custom Shop Jimmy Page Les Paul Custom V.O.S. Electric Guitar with Bigsby

Gibson Custom Shop Jimmy Page Les Paul Custom V.O.S. Electric Guitar with Bigsby Ebony



In the early days of Led Zeppelin, Jimmy Page relied heavily on a three-pickup 1960 Les Paul custom "Black Beauty" with a Bigsby tailpiece. Unfortunately, the guitar was stolen in 1970 at an airport and never recovered. Page has always felt that that particular guitar was "the one that got away."

Gibson proudly returns Page's cherished lost guitar in the form of the Gibson Custom Shop Jimmy Page Les Paul Custom a painstaking recreating of the iconic instrument with the addition of some of the most innovative electronics to ever grace a Les Paul.

The result is this stunning "Black Beauty" with a slim-profile neck, Page BurstBucker pickups, gold Bigsby vibrato and an innovative six-position toggle that lets you isolate the neck and bridge pickups or add the middle in any combination.

In the normal position, the toggle operates like a standard 2 pickup Les Paul toggle: selecting Neck pickup, Neck and Bridge pickup, or Bridge pickup. Push it to the unique forward position, and now you can choose between Neck & Middle, Neck & Middle & Bridge, or Bridge & Middle. A push-pull treble tone knob splits the rear pickup for the traditional Jimmy Page single coil option.

Handcrafted for comfort and playability, this guitar is period accurate, and has received the VOS (Vintage Original Spec) treatment by the Gibson Custom Shop. A special nitro-cellulose finish treatment gives it the patina of a gently-aged vintage guitar. The Bigsby tailpiece and the rest of the gold hardware feature a worn look to match.

Limited to a worldwide edition of just 500 guitars, the Gibson Custom Shop Jimmy Page Les Paul Custom is Gibson's heartfelt tribute to a true legend and to the guitar he loved and lost. Features a special Gibson Custom Shop case with silk-screen JP signature Certificate of Authenticity.

Perhaps no one has had a bigger impact on the style and sound of hard rock guitar than the deservedly legendary Jimmy page. As the musical mastermind of Led Zeppelin, Page's tone, playing, and phrasing made him one of the most influential musicians of the past 50 years.

Gibson Custom Shop Jimmy Page Les Paul Custom V.O.S. Electric Guitar with Bigsby Features:

* Body & Hardware:
* Carved mahogany top
* Solid, lightweight mahogany back
* Multi-ply white/black binding on top and back
* Gently-aged Ebony finish
