Ah man have a peek at the new PRS guitar called the SE singlecut Korina, its super light weight and its the very first solid korina se model that PRS has put out.

"Musicians looking for all Korina guitars now have a new option within the PRS family that is unmatched in the market in terms of price, aesthetics and quality."

The body is completely solid, it has a 3 piece neck, with the fretboard made out of rosewood and up to 22 frets. Moon inlays and two humbuckers. The knobs on this beauty are master volume, tone and a 3 way toggle. It comes in a Vintage amber color.

November 13th, 2009

Seems Yamaha has come out with a new model of Jumbo acoustic guitar called the FJ Jumbo. Originally in 1960 they came out with the FG acoustic, now they have

FJX730SC - rosewood back and sides
FJX720SC - mahogany back and sides
Both have Piezo  based system 55T pickups

All of which were highlighted at summer namm 2009

This is what they had to say " "Our customers have been asking for a jumbo body offering for a long time," said Dennis Webster, marketing manager, Yamaha Guitars. "Not only have we designed a great jumbo shape, but we've also added the A.R.T. system so that they will sound great out of the gate. Acoustic-electric gigging guitarists have something really great to sing about."

Look to pay around $899.99 for the FJX730SC and FG730SC with ART pickup and around $789.99 for the FJX720sc

Vesica Lead Guitar – New

September 15th, 2009

Not sure if you have heard of the brand called Vesica Guitars but I thought it would be worth mentioning as they have a new guitar that is available called the Vesica Lead and its always cool to come across different types of guitars and this one is definately that. Check out the Neck on this beast :)

It has what they call a patent pending VL neck, which gives the guitarist super bending capability by allowing the person to bend them away from the guitar and reach higher notes. This is very innovative and it should be interesting to see if it catches on

What do you think about it?

Features:

    * Mahogany body and maple VL Neckā„¢ with ebony fingerboard
    * EMG-707TW and EMG-81TW active pickups
    * Hipshot Baby Grand Bridge
    * 3-way pickup selector
    * Schaller M-6 Tuners and Graph Tech nut

Cost for this will be $2,299.00 in the USA and $2499 in Canada
