The all American guitars made from tonewood.

When my son noticed an odd sound coming from his guitar, he asked me if I can detect it. I concurred with him and told him it is called the Fret Buzz. It happens to stringed instruments that are not stored in the right humid conditions. Any guitar repair shop will isolate the string and the fret that is causing the buzz and rectify it.

My son looked befuddled. How can I know so much when I could not even beat a string! I told him I remember reading a tweet by the Bedell Guitars regarding the Fret Buzz  Just like we take care of ourselves according to the changes in the climate, our guitars also need the same kind of care.

I also threw in a few tidbits about all American Bedell Guitars and the tonewood from which it is made. Tonewood is the most suitable wood to make stringed instruments.

Bedell Guitar

If he is contemplating to switch to Bedell guitar, I told him that the Guitar Center has, bedell guitars at a great price! I also warned him of the price range which seems to be a bit expensive than his other guitars. However, I think the Bedell guitars are worth their price considering the excellent craftsmanship of them.

Pink Guitar-an ideal gift to your daughter.

The moment you look at the pink guitar below, you would assume it is for kids and you are right! It is for kids as well as guitar learners. Somehow we associate the pink color with kids, young girls, and innocence-right? I believe it applies to other gadgets as well; I once bought a pink mobile phone. I was 40 then!  My son liked his ceiling fan in pink when he was a kid.

Oh well, getting back to the pink guitar meant for learners and kids, this is from the shelves of Rogue acoustic guitar.

Keeping the kids in mind, this pink guitar has a small body frame. While the fretboard is made of Rosewood, the neck is made from Maple!

Available now at the lowest price, you can gift your daughter with a shining new pink guitar along with amp and strap case as essential accessories.

Music beyond vision.

It is said that musicians in general are sentimental. They usually do not have the courage to try new brands of music instruments even with advanced features. They prefer to stick to their brand. For example, try to convince a guitarist to turn away from Fender Paramount Series acoustic guitars and you are likely to fail. Across the years, Fender series have created staunch loyalists.

As they say, Paramount is for passionate guitar players because I have watched a couple of videos and the way the guitar players held their Fender guitar indicated pure passion.

Made of solid wood, it may not match the style of metal guitars but the music it delivers is heard beyond visions.

The guitar that even a non-musician would love to buy.

One look at the epiphone 335 pro limited and even a non-musician would go flat. Imagine the reaction of a guitar player when he saw this piece on a website while he was shopping online for a guitar stand.

I am speaking about my son who loves to play guitar and already bought two. It was for the second guitar that he wanted a stand.

I was sitting beside him in front of the computer when he was searching for a guitar stand. When we stumbled onto the above image, there was an audible gasp, not from my son but from me. This sleek and stylish looking guitar belongs to the famous ES series since 1950! Surely a vintage piece!

My son prefers jumbo frets and the epiphone 335 pro limited is fitted with jumbo frets. That’s it. He immediately bought it, quickly looked at me, sensed something and told me he would sell his other two guitars!

Very considerate indeed!

What is that latest news at the guitar centre?

My son who is an amateur guitar player, used to tell me that when someone is buying an electric guitar, he should checkup the pickup first. It should be so good that the electric guitar should not fully depend on the amplifiers’ capabilities to deliver the desired sound.

Late yesterday night, he took me to guitar centre and showed the features of American Special HSS Stratocaster Electric guitar. He pointed out to me the ‘pickup’ area and also asked me to read a few of the feedback that the guitar received wherein the buyer of the Fender guitar expressed his extreme satisfaction over the pickup and the final sound.

My son also pointed to the jumbo frets that are welcome by big men with large hands.

I wish he is not planning to buy that guitar immediately but may be after a few months as I have other expenses coming by in the next few weeks.

Get your full guitar set including amplifier at throw away price now.

When I saw him coming in lugging a large bag, I thought he was carrying his cricket gears. He is my son’s friend, a Norwegian. I casually asked him what his favorite brand of cricket bat. He blinked for a few seconds before replying that he doesn’t play cricket but guitar.

Ah, I then realized what he was carrying in a bag that looked similar to the ones carried by cricketers. Before I talked again, he opened his bag to take out a guitar that looked real sleek and guitar cable that connects his guitar to an amplifier.

He informed me that these days, a professional guitar player buy a full set of equipments that consist of all the above and the amplifier. Of course the guitar picks are also included in the rogue rocketeer electric guitar pack redburst that costs only $120.

Yes, you read it right, the $120 is for all the above accessories and the sleek guitar.

Pick me up please and play on me.

This strikingly beautiful guitar belongs to Fender Stratocaster series of electric guitars that are the most widely used guitars in the world.

Probably, no other guitar has been ever so popular than the Fender Stratocaster mainly because of its sleek design. Even a total novice could not take his eyes off  it; in fact, it would entice anyone  to pick it up and try it. 

I have a feeling that you would try to click on the image of the guitar to know about it detail. I urge you to visit fender custom shop where you will see several options to customize the Eric Clapton series of electric guitars apart from knowing the technical features of them.

Yes, they are pricey but you have to pay for the quality-is it not?

If you are a guitarist...

My surprise was played down by my son. He just brushed away my pat on his shoulder for his knowledge about various models of guitar and which brands of guitar is the favorite of top guitarists in the country.  He said the youth these days are more thorough in learning than people of my age.

I knew I was cornered. When I showed him the image of gretsch electromatic guitar (see below), he started describing about the legendary German immigrant Friedrich Gretsch and his success story of making musical instruments since 1883. This is the first time that I have seen a white guitar. It looks magnificent.

 It was obvious that he is keeping track of the various models of guitars, their features and the preferences of guitars of famous guitar players. He keeps exchanging his guitars for every new guitar that he reads about in music related forums.

However, I think he is devoting more of his time in gathering knowledge about guitars than playing them to improve his skill.

Gibson’s new electric guitar is widely acclaimed.

Gibson SG guitar was my son’s choice as he considers it as one of the first-rate guitars. He thinks it is ideal for both beginners and experiences guitar players. 

My son has a habit of frequently changing his guitar based on users’ ratings and reviews.  Whenever he decides to sell his guitar on the market to buy a new one, I always wondered what is wrong with the old guitar which he bought after reading reviews in music related forums and Facebook pages.

He explained to me the features of his latest find, the Gibson SG special electric guitar. While I was able to appreciate to note that it is made of mahogany, none of the other things such as Tune-O-Matic bridge and magnet humbuckers made any sense to me, though I am pretty sure passionate guitar players would admire them.

When he played his favorite song on his new guitar, I could sense an enhanced resonance. I knew his choice of guitar was right.
