    Unheralded guitar players

    One of my favorites of the more recent generation is Alex Hutchings. The man has talent to spare, and REALLY understands melody -- instead of being constantly flashy like so many guitarists these days, he reserves it for just the right moments:

    Thanks everyone, I'm glad y'all enjoyed the demo. I hope it helps anyone who might be on the fence about getting one of these stellar guitars!

    NGD: Epiphone Casino Cherry Red

    I finally got around to doing a proper YouTube demo of my Epiphone Casino! I'm still loving this guitar!

    Got bit by "Want a Guitar", but need some advice.

    Nope, it adjusts just like any Strat-style hardtail bridge. Totally easy to intonate!

    Got bit by "Want a Guitar", but need some advice.

    I can vouch for the Squier '51. It's a fun, versatile, and surprisingly well-made axe for the money. I love the stock pickups as well, I really didn't expect the hot ceramic single coil and humbucker to sound all that good, but they have some magic in 'em...especially with the coil-split wiring...

    How's Your Weather Today?

    70°F...3 weeks solid of downpouring rain in Kentucky, USA. It's starting to drive me a bit crazy. Good thing I've got music to play.

    Tube Amp and Cab advice needed

    You can't go wrong with a Fender Blues Jr. for the genres you describe, they're plentiful on the used market and dirt cheap. Even better, try and find an FSR (Fender Special Run) version with a Cannabis Rex speaker like this one -- it's one of the best speaker options to pair with a Blues Jr...

    Awesome looking axe...looks like you did a KILLER job on the refin as well! Congrats on a beautiful guitar!

    Some older Rivieras being played...

    Great tone and playing by all of those fellas. Phil X and Gregor Hilden always sound great....but I have a feeling those axes are adding some serious mojo.

    My new custom shop Agile 3000+

    Man that's a total stunner! My only Les Paul style guitar is an Oceanburst Agile Al-3010se and it will NEVER leave the stable, they're phenomenal guitars not just for the price! Enjoy that beauty in good health!

    Mine's a MIC Casino. That's interesting that some are still being made in Korea!

    NGD: Epiphone Casino Cherry Red

    Hey good folks at EpiTalk, I'm a huge fan of Epiphone archtops. I've always been impressed by their playability, sound and style since I started playing guitar in 2000 at age 15. I got my first Epiphone (a Sheraton II) in 2012 after reaching the semifinals of the Guitar Center King of the...

    What is the most you've paid for....

    $1000 USD for my Martin D-15M: And $849 total for my Blackstar HT Studio 20 head and Avatar 2x12 with V30's.

    No lining ????

    I just checked my Sheraton and Casino...both have kerfing inside of them. I wonder how it affects the overall acoustic tone of your Joe Pass by not having any? Must not affect the stability of the top and back much without it, seeing as yours is 25 years old and still kickin'!

    Wiki article on the Sheraton...

    Absolutely adore my Sheraton. I won it in the 2012 Guitar Center King of the Blues competition and I'll never part with it. Has some kind of non-quantifiable mojo to it that can't be denied.

    Thanks Paruwi! I'm a member of quite a few guitar forums, but I definitely plan on sticking around here...Epi's are my favorite guitars by FAR!

    What pickups are you using in your Epi's?

    I've got GFS Pro Series Alnico 2's in my Epiphone Sheraton...might sound crazy, but they are honestly my favorite pickups of all time (and I've owned Duncans, Dimarzios, etc.) There's just something magical about the set I received from GFS. My Wildkat and Casino both have the stock P90's. I...

    Epiphone Casino Coupe in Black!!

    Cool! This is the first I've seen of these colors....if I didn't have a full sized Casino already I'd be on that green one like there's no tomorrow!
