Yesterday, November 28, 2008, marked the official debut of Fender’s Yngwie Malmsteen Tribute Series Stratocaster. Like the other Tribute Series guitars that Fender has done, this is a limited edition guitar that is based on the guitar that the artist is most known for.

When not playing guitar or working, I can often be found reading, and one of my favorite authors is Jonathan Kellerman. Many of Kellerman’s Alex Delaware series of novels mention the guitar, so it was no surprise to me to find out that Kellerman is an avid guitar collector. And, apparently he has a world-class [...]

Last week, I met some friends at a local movie theater for a showing of David Gilmour’s Live at Gdansk DVD. I’ve been on a bit of a David Gilmour kick over the past few weeks, and I’ve recently watched Gilmour’s Remember That Night - Live at Royal Albert Hall and Pink Floyd’s Pulse. So, [...]
