Just When You Thought It Was Safe... the New Jackson® Js Series Now with Double-Locking Tremolo Systems! FRESH BLOOD II JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT IT WAS SAFE... THE NEW JACKSON® JS SERIES NOW WITH DOUBLE-LOCKING TREMOLO SYSTEMS! JS32 King V™, Black Experts consider the shark to be evolutionary perfection – the ultimate killing machine. The new Jackson JS Series is the affordable axe equivalent; each JS instrument is swift, sleek and deadly. Built with more than 30 years of Jackson expertise, JS series guitars are the ultimate shredding machines. Jackson JS models are armed with high-output pickups, jumbo frets and a tilt-back headstock – a feature normally found on more expensive instruments. This design negates the use of string-trees, which often cause tuning issues due to the unnecessary friction they create. JS Series guitars also feature compound radius fingerboards – a stunning design innovation unique to Jackson that rises above the competition in terms of shredability. The fingerboard radius is roundest near the nut – perfect for fretting deadly riffs and crushing chords. As players climb the neck, the fingerboard’s curvature gradually flattens out – perfect JS32R Dinky™, Snow White for warp-speed shredding and effortless string-bending. The foundation of the JS Series is the original JS1: an incredibly-pop- ular, no-nonsense axe. Building on that, JS2 and JS3 models feature custom-voiced high-output Jackson pickups, 24 frets, trademark shark fin inlays and a Jackson gig bag. Five new JS3 models now come armed with double-locking tremolo systems, licensed by Floyd Rose®. Visit your nearest Jackson dealer and grab a new JS Series instrument by the neck. Your fingers will thank you. PICK WISELY. PLAY BETTER.

Yes, they sell every one they make for prices that would cover two or three of your mortgage payments. And, of course, they’ll make you your very own model if your name happens to be Jimmy Page or Slash. But the most impressive thing about theS folks at Gibson USA and the leg- endary Les Paul guitar they produce is that they have somehow mastered the art and science of making a handmade, custom guitar in a mass-production setting. Think of it: Even as you’re note reading this, dozens of musicians are purchasing an instrument that bears all the hallmarks of a customized product, from its electronics to its high-gloss finish, an instrument that emits a sound as unique and desired by Les Paul afi- cionados as the characteristic “potato- potato” sound is by Harley-Davidson fanatics.

  • The Standard Gibson Les Paul Electric Guitar the Guitar Is a Musical Instrument That Has Been Around for Many Centuries. Music C
    The Standard Gibson Les Paul Electric Guitar The guitar is a musical instrument that has been around for many centuries. Music composition and sound evolved quite drastically over time. Therefore, the guitar transformed and evolved as well. Since the beginning of the rock and roll era, guitarists, such as Slash, Randy Rhoads, and Jimmy Page favored the Standard Gibson Les Paul electric guitar for its smooth playability as well as crisp and piercing tones. Amazingly the Gibson Les Paul consists of simple mechanisms. These simple mechanisms are found on the three main components of the Gibson Les Paul guitar: the headstock, the neck, and the body. The Headstock The Neck The Body The Headstock The first component, the headstock, has its own subcomponent: the tuners. The headstock is one of the most significant parts of the guitar because it houses six tuners which tune the guitar strings as well as hold the strings in place. It is made out of mahogany wood and angled at fourteen degrees with respect to the neck. Tuners The Gibson Les Paul’s headstock houses six tuners with three on each side of the headstock that separately hold guitar strings E, A, D, G, B, and e in place. Depending on which side of the headstock the user turns the tuner knobs, the guitar produces lower or higher pitched tones when the string(s) are plucked. Lower pitch results from the tuner knob turned in the direction that decreases the string tension, whereas the higher pitch results from the tuner knob turned in the direction that increases string tension.

  • James Tyler Variax JTV-59 (Korea) - the 48 Hour Review
    James Tyler Variax JTV-59 (Korea) - The 48 Hour Review L6 Expert Review by Nick Mattocks Manufacturer: Line 6 Model: James Tyler Variax – JTV-59 Finish: Cherry Sunburst Country of Origin: Korea Current street price (UK): £1099 GBP Date Received: 17 June 2011 Packaging The guitar arrived in a strong cardboard box inside which there were two foam end-caps supporting the same reasonably robust Line 6 Variax gig-bag that was supplied with earlier model Variax 700 guitars and in the same light grey colour. Having ordered and paid for the guitar over ten months ago – I have to say I was somewhat excited to say the least to see it actually in a big cardboard box in my front room after so long But hopefully I kept my excitement under control well enough to appreciate what I have actually got and to write a balanced review of my findings after owning and playing the guitar during the first 48 hours or so of ownership. The first thing that should be visible when opening the box correctly at the top end is an A4 sheet detailing what should be contained in the packaging and where it is located. The end cap at the top of the box contained: the battery, battery charger, battery charger cable/PSU, various clip-on mains adapters, USB Variax WorkBench interface and VDI cable. The gig bag pockets contained a small tool kit comprising several Allen wrenches of different sizes for truss rod adjustment, bridge height adjustment and intonation adjustment. With my guitar everything was exactly where it should be and the packaging was more than robust enough to have withstood the journey from the factory in Korea to Line 6’s warehousing facility in Holland and then by couriers to the UK and finally on to me via a local supplier.
