Looking for a truely portable guitar. How about one that actually comes apart so yuo can carry it around in a small bag? Welcome to the Adirondack Aria Sinsonido Travel Guitar.
Basically a neck attached to a slim body, it has rubber coated aluminum frame that you connect to get the "feel" of a guitar whilst playing.
Having no body as such, it does need to be plugged into some sort of output device so you can hear it, but it sounds suprising good. The guitar features a 9 volt battery, preamp and two stereo condenser microphones built into the unit to provide the require sound source for amplification. PLug in your headphones, or plug into a little boom box and your on your way. Adirondack offers three models of this latest version: steel string, nylon string, and nylon string with a cutaway design.
I really love the look of these Reverend guitars. I just wish I could find some down under to get my hands on. Or maybe Reverend would like to send me one of each model so I can review them... that would be nice.
Anyway, the new Double Agent from Reverend features olid korina body, maple neck, medium oval neck profile, rosewood fingerboard, 22 medium jumbo frets, 25.5″ scale length, Tune-o-matic bridge with stopbar tailpiece, Reverend humbucker (bridge) and Reverend P-90 (neck) pickups, 3-way pickup switch and volume, tone and bass contour control mounted where a Les Paul would normally have the pickup switch.
i really like the idea of the humbucker and P90 combination. This sounds stupid but I always thought visually that mixing the pickup types really degades the aesthetic of a guitar. But reverned have got the P90 surrounded by a matching pickguard, so you almost don't notice it there.
It's finally here. I've been working on this for a while, and although there are a few features I am still developing (with a vies of making them available to everyone down the track), my new website for my personal music projects is up and running.
The ACC is the part of this site where you guys and gals are in control.You pick the songs, I record them acoustically and share them here for your pleasure. It will just be audio to start with until I get the hang of recording the video and audio at the same time.
How does it work?
When I announce I'm taking requests, you reply to the post. Then I pick my favourites from the suggestions and make a shortlist. This then gets turned into a poll and you vote on it. The winning song gets recorded. Hopefull there will be a new song every fortnight.
Why are you doing it?
I'm trying to piece together a set list for solo gigs, and I need some help choosing songs. What better way to find songs that people like then to get them to request the songs here.
So head on over to the site, leave a suggestion, sign up to the newsletter and lets get this ball rolling.
Ahh... Marshall. Although my love of amps is constantly evolving and going through phases, i always come back to Marshall. To my ears, they have just the right amount of clarity, the right amount of dirt, the right amount frequency spread.... I just love them. I may have flirted with Orange, followed ZZ Top with Crate, dabbled with Vox, but my heart lies with Marshall.
To those reading on the RSS feed, sorry for those last 10 posts. I was trying a little experiment and it has not worked. If you follow those entires you'll end up at a 404 on the website. Again, sorry about that, it should be fixed for the future (I hope).
