Junior Killer.

1960 #Epiphone#Coronet with extremely rare Bikini logo headstock, no "E" on the pickguard, and inked serial number, on top of a nicely worn (and excellent sounding) tweed 1959 #Fender#Super#amplifier.

Yesterday was the big, annual, @dlott6 / @chriswstringer8#UnionSound#Toronto Guitarpalooza Show & Tell Get-together, and here is the very first pic from the afternoon's festivities!

Though this was the most humble and least pricy of all the guitars that showed up to the event, it was my favourite! I have always had a thing for Coronets, even though I have never actually held one before yesterday (I have literally never seen one for sale around here in 12+ years of near constant guitar shopping!). Oh also, this one was an incredible 5 lbs! FIVE LBS!!!

I love this shot so much, and I'd LOVE to take credit for the art direction on it, but I just pushed the shutter release. The set up was 100% @michaelsegui's concept. Oh and the piano stool (for standing on), was provided by the studio (thanks Chris!). 😉

More photos to come!

Billy Cox: Jimi’s playing was firmly rooted in the blues: “When we first started playing, the only songs we basically jammed on from the very, very beginning were blues songs, because musically we were limited at that particular time as far as repertoire goes. Basically, he was an R&B player—a rhythm and blues player.” Billy recalls that besides Chuck Berry, Jimi’s favorite players to listen to were contemporary bluesmen: “Slim Harpo, especially. Muddy Waters, Lightnin’ Hopkins, Howlin’ Wolf, Albert King, B.B. King. He said they were great bluesmen. A lot of songs we initially started playing were by those guys. That was point A. Then we graduated into the Top-40 rhythm and blues, and then into a lot of pop numbers.” In December, Jimi asked Al to send him his red Danelectro Shorthorn. Billy details, “He used that all through the service, up to a year after we got out. When we were making a little bit more money, I co-signed for him and he traded that in and got an Epiphone.” According to Cox, the “Betty Jean” guitar was subsequently destroyed in a house fire.

Jimi’s unwavering dedication to his instrument had its price, socially speaking: “Around this time people nicknamed Jimi ‘Marbles,’” Billy explained, “because he walked up the street with an electric guitar, playing it. He’d play it in the show, he’d play it coming back from the gig. I saw him put 25 years into the guitar in five years, because it was a constant, everyday occurrence with him. People called him Marbles because they thought he was crazy. They couldn’t understand why a man would basically be playing the guitar all the time. But basically, he knew that he had to make this instrument an extension of his body. It was like how people learn to whistle. He learned to play a guitar like a person would whistle, and you have your lips with you all the time, so you can whistle. I remember mornings waking Jimi up, knocking on his door, and there he was laying on the bed with the same clothes he had on the night before, his guitar laying across his stomach or alongside him. He was practicing all night long.”

Single life Epiphanies 

At some point in your life you come to a realization that you inevitably and will forever be alone. Alone to walk this earth and you better figure out how to love yourself or else it's going to be such a torturous rest of your life now isn't it.  

Looking back at the many relationships , how different they were in their entirety . Some healthy, most not. Somewhere I was stronger as far as knowing who I was and where I stood, but sadly most morphed into an abusive and codependent relationship. Leaving me mentally, emotionally and sometimes physically broken down to a mushy pulp of a person. Forced to get back up , try and bandage up myself as best as possible and just keep going. That was the only option. Just keep going .

Now I don't know if it was my utter stubbornness that kept me in the revolving door of repeating the same mistakes, or straight up denial that even now it's awfully painful to even type out the truth that my abuse began way before dating age . And my brain was hardwired since childhood to repeat this destructive recurring cycle. And I suppose I would have kept repeating this cycle of self-pity, never fighting for more in a significant other nor myself, accepting this mediocre acceptor of life as the man I wanted next to me during battle. But I knew deep down I was meant for more. I just couldn't see what more even looked like.

So after losing everything I held dear to my heart, every single support system turning their backs , every family member forgetting they had a daughter named Alina, or a older sister that would be there for them at the drop of a hat yet , but the act never reciprocated. And then the most abusive, traumatizing relationship, almost bringing me to my grave by his hand, I was able to get out of thank god. I sat in my motel room in mesa arizona, after a night's work at the strip club ( I could no longer work in a salon after my ex and his mother falsely reported me to state board and I had my license revoked) I sat there all alone . Like I did every night. I didn't have parties, or people over, or guys over even. I sat their night after night . Sometimes crying in fetal position about how lonely I was and how bad I had fucked everything up in my life. And after the tears refused to come out, I would lie there and look at the wall. With no light at the end of the tunnel . No sight of my future whatsoever. How could anyone love me right ? I just needed someone next to me, that would make me feel better right? The instant gratification of having someone put their arm over me so I could finally fall asleep. All i can remember is how badly I wanted someone to tell me I was going to be ok.

Until one night.

I was in my motel room once again, and I wish I could tell you exactly how it happened . But the best way I can describe this moment is simply like a smack across the back of my head by my guardian angel and a simple “ WAKE UP “  You're going to be just fine silly girl, in fact you're going to be wonderful. And you aren't lonely, you are awesome and can have a blast ALL BY YOURSELF. As these feelings and words are running threw my noggin I am literally feeling my soul move again for the first time is a long while, this shift , this excitement, like the first day of school , not just any year of school even. Like the first day of kindergarten, or possibly 6th grade where you were the top dogs in the entire school and your friends were all there established in their self made image, always by your side and you knew it would stay that way. You having the coolest backpack, pink jelly chunky heeled sandals that made your feet stink so bad but you didn't care because you knew that you looked PHAT.

That was the excitement I started to feel, welling up in my chest, then stomach and filling up my lower half, and shooting back up to fill the empty chest cavity that my full heart had once occupied and routinely filled with every expand and compressing beat of my heart.Then  up into my skull and behind my eyes this energy began filling my body up with warm comforting energy, so much so that i was practically bursting at the seams with what this epiphone truly meant. It meant that  

I was going to be just fine . That I didn't need an instant anything. I didn't need someone there beside me in that room, besides the room was too small anyway, Nor did I need someone's arm around me so I could fall asleep. Infact! I would be lying to myself, I am fully aware my warm body would have just overheated with that heavy arm flopped over me and I would have hated it.

My truths came to me, quicker than expected even. Truth, I knew that my happiness was in my hands and I was in charge of my world. No one else.

And I would never stop striving everyday to be one step closer to my goals.  

I finally broke down one section of that revolving door, I’ve learned to love myself, live by myself , and my self worth.  Don't get me wrong , I'm still strengthening them daily, and I have lots to learn about life. Since we all know the universe doesn't let us pause for a breath ever. Before kicking us in the butt and telling us to keep going.. Now brings me to my next dilemma .

What happens when you've been single ( for the most part ) for over 2 years, have become so used to not having to answer to anyone or having take others feelings into consideration, or even worry about having any word close to Love come out of your mouth towards the opposite sex.  And the universe puts The One directly in your path, no way to dodge this curveball. That's it, he just introduced himself, and you to him.  The connection has been made.

Now what the hell am I supposed to do?

How To Choose Epiphone Guitars Parts Wisely

One of the most iconic guitars is from Epiphone. Epiphone is a reliable and reputed American instrument manufacturer. Many people purchase their guitars from Epiphone because they make the best quality instruments which work for years.

You may have an Epiphone guitar and use it for your professional music shows as well. However, with everyday use, the need of replacing the parts for Epiphone guitars will be required depending on the use.

Here are some parts of the guitar which also includes the parts of a guitar neck that you can purchase when these wear out, break or need replacement. To choose the guitar parts wisely you need to have knowledge about the guitar parts and how they function. So, let’s check a few of these parts, their function and learn about how and when you can replace them.

Tuning machines:

Tuning machines have a system that comprises of shafts and gears and just like the clutch of your car does after some time, the tuners of guitars also wear out. There is a lot of stress and tension which tuning machines have to go through. That’s the reason these need to be changed. With the help of wooden screws tuning machines are screwed into the headstock of the guitar, so in case the gear is stripped or worn out then you need to replace it. If more than one tuner is giving an issue then you should replace the complete set.

You must check that the replacement machines has its screws in the same place just like the original one because you don’t want to drill new holes in the headstock. So, check the supplier who offers original parts online and if you face any problem matching the holes of your new machine to the existing one then take the guitar to a nearby repair shop.

After bankruptcy, Gibson plots return to basics, and possibly ukuleles

(Reuters) – As Gibson Brands Inc targets an exit from Chapter 11 bankruptcy later this year, the iconic guitar maker plans a return to traditional guitars after an ill-fated attempt at computerizing them and possibly a foray into ukuleles, CEO Henry Juszkiewicz told Reuters on Wednesday.

FILE PHOTO: The Gibson logo is seen on a guitar strap at a store in Singapore April 3, 2018. Picture taken April 3, 2018. REUTERS/Thomas White

Nashville-based Gibson, the maker of guitars played by the likes of B.B. King and Slash, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in May with roughly $500 million in debt and a plan to reorganize its musical instrument business under the new ownership of its lenders.

In an interview with Reuters as Gibson was preparing to show new products at the National Association of Music Merchants trade show in Nashville, Juszkiewicz said he was examining ways Gibson could expand its appeal beyond its pricey guitar models, which include the Les Paul and SG, to entice younger players and female players.

Many of Gibson’s electric guitars sell for over $2,000.

Juszkiewicz is also considering capitalizing on an industry-wide boom in sales of ukuleles, the small-bodied Hawaiian instrument. While the company sells some so-called ukes under its lower-priced Epiphone brand, Gibson has not made one under its flagship brand since the 1930s, and Juszkiewicz said Gibson would “absolutely” consider a return to that business.

“One of the most valuable ukes you can buy today is a Gibson uke made in the ‘30s. We’ve been there,” he said. But Juszkiewicz declined to disclose specific plans, saying the effort remains “a work in progress.”

But with Gibson’s core guitars, Juszkiewicz said the company plans on “getting back to the basics.” That is a reversal from its 2015 decision to fit guitars with computerized tuning machines, a move that did not go over well with some guitar players.

Juszkiewicz is returning his focus to the core guitar business – which grew 10.5 percent to $122 million in the 12 months ended in January – after seeing most of his time consumed by the fallout from the unsuccessful acquisition of a Hong Kong-based consumer electronics arm of Philips in 2014.

As part of Gibson’s restructuring, Juszkiewicz, who along with partners acquired the then-ailing guitar company in the late 1980s, has a two-year consulting agreement with the company’s lenders and soon-to-be owners, which include KKR Credit Advisors.

He said he did not know whether KKR had plans to name a successor as Gibson’s chairman and CEO.

“I’m sure the gears are moving,” he said.

KKR did not immediately return a request for comment.

Squier by Fender Affinity Stratocaster Beginner Electric Guitar Review

I find that I love playing on different guitars because each offers a musician something different. My previous everyday-play instrument was a hollow body electric Ibanez AF55, but I found myself running into a problem with a lack of frets, which reduced my ability to reach the higher notes. This is why I found the Squier by Fender Affinity Stratocaster Beginner Guitar Pack to be an excellent choice; it has 22 frets for high pitch tones.

Things to Consider Before Buying a Beginner Guitar

While my old guitar was a hollow body that allowed me to play with or without an amp, I found myself missing out on the electric feel of plugging in. This is why a kit like the Squier by Fender Affinity Stratocaster Beginner Electric Guitar Pack is useful; it comes with a Fender amp, some picks, and even a guitar case. None of these things were included when I purchased my older guitar from Guitar Center, so there's a lot of advantage to getting a pack.

The Squier by Fender Affinity Stratocaster Beginner Electric Guitar Pack

As mentioned, this product is a complete pack. This means that right in the packaging you'll find everything you need to start shredding. Also, Fender is an iconic brand name, which means that you can expect great note quality, excellent compatibility with later Fender amps, and superb intonation – complete with that clean Fender sound.

Simply put, Fender is one of the market leaders when it comes to electric guitars, which is why this pack is a great buy for a new guitarist or someone looking to get into playing a solid body electric like me. It even comes with straps, cables, and an electric tuner. If you already have these components and a higher end Telecaster or Stratocaster, then this might not be the instrument pack for you.

Pros

This is a great pack to get you started playing.

Since it includes a case, you can take your guitar with you when traveling.

It has 22 frets for higher notes

It's very easy to tune with the electronic tuner

Cons

The guitar isn't as well-built as Fenders' iconic guitars

The amplifier doesn't have effects like echo, distortion, or wahs

The instructional CD isn't very useful

Features and Benefits

Completeness

I can't express enough how useful of a feature this is. When you purchase a pack like this, you get everything that you need. You won't have to purchase a strap, gig bag, or even picks, so effectively; you can start playing almost immediately. In addition to this, you can also take your playing on the road. It's this completeness that makes it a great guitar pack for someone that's just looking for a guitar to play around on at odd times and in different places as well.

Five-Way Pickup

When you're experimenting with tone, a good five-way pickup is very useful. This will let you change the tone of your guitar without having to go to the amplifier itself. Simply flip the switch up and down until you find what you like.

22 Jumbo Frets

With larger frets, there is a better vibrational coupling between the string and the wood, which means that you'll simply have better tonality with this guitar pack. Your strums will be more resonant and you will experience a far rounder tone. All in all, this sound is very gig-friendly, and if you're planning on doing professional recording, then this pack's guitar may be a great choice for you.

Whammy Bar

Every guitarist that's been playing for a few years knows how to execute a vibrato. This is simply the player vibrating the string with a finger in order to create a warbling sound. One of the best features of a whammy bar, which is often called a vibrato bar, is that you can seamlessly achieve a vibrato effect by jiggling and bending the bar inwards. As a result, you can gain access to a rich selection of guitar effects without the need of actually executing a vibrato on the strings or purchasing an external guitar pedal.

Alternatives

B.C. Rich Red Bevel Warlock Guitar Pack

For those that are looking for a more premium experience with some genuine shredability, then the Warlock Guitar Pack is a good alternative to the Fender Strat guitar pack that I have been writing about. It's more than double to price of the Stratocaster pack, but with this pack, you get a 24-fret guitar that has a very metalesque design to it.

Unlike the Affinity Strat pack, it doesn't have a case or extras like picks, but it does come with a red amplifier. Overall, it's a good choice for more advanced players.

Final Thoughts

In my opinion, the Squier by Fender Affinity Stratocaster Beginner Electric Guitar Pack is a great choice for beginners or intermediate players that want a full package experience with classic Fender smooth tones. If you're like me and want to branch out into a amplified experience, this is great. It's also excellent for anyone that wants to play the higher notes, or the so-called "squeedlies".

When you’re experimenting with tone, a good five-way pickup is very useful. This will let you change the tone of your guitar without having to go to the amplifier itself. Simply flip the switch up and down until you find what you like.

22 Jumbo Frets

With larger frets, there is a better vibrational coupling between the string and the wood, which means that you’ll simply have better tonality with this guitar pack. Your strums will be more resonant and you will experience a far rounder tone. All in all, this sound is very gig-friendly, and if you’re planning on doing professional recording, then this pack’s guitar may be a great choice for you.

Whammy Bar

Every guitarist that’s been playing for a few years knows how to execute a vibrato. This is simply the player vibrating the string with a finger in order to create a warbling sound. One of the best features of a whammy bar, which is often called a vibrato bar, is that you can seamlessly achieve a vibrato effect by jiggling and bending the bar inwards. As a result, you can gain access to a rich selection of guitar effects without the need of actually executing a vibrato on the strings or purchasing an external guitar pedal.

B.C. Rich Red Bevel Warlock Guitar Pack

For those that are looking for a more premium experience with some genuine shredability, then the Warlock Guitar Pack is a good alternative to the Fender Strat guitar pack that I have been writing about. It’s more than double to price of the Stratocaster pack, but with this pack, you get a 24-fret guitar that has a very metalesque design to it.

Unlike the Affinity Strat pack, it doesn’t have a case or extras like picks, but it does come with a red amplifier. Overall, it’s a good choice for more advanced players.

Epiphone Les Paul Electric Guitar 

This pack, on the other hand, is actually very similar to the Fender pack that we’ve featured here. It’s a less expensive pack and the guitar that’s included is very bluesy-sounding. For beginners, you can also purchase this pack with Rocksmith, which is a console or PC game that teaches guitar.

Epiphone is another one of those iconic brands, so beginners can get a great start with this pack.

Final Thoughts

In my opinion, the Squier by Fender Affinity Stratocaster Beginner Electric Guitar Pack is a great choice for beginners or intermediate players that want a full package experience with classic Fender smooth tones. If you’re like me and want to branch out into a amplified experience, this is great. It’s also excellent for anyone that wants to play the higher notes, or the so-called “squeedlies”.

Squier by Fender Affinity Stratocaster Beginner Electric Guitar Review

I find that I love playing on different guitars because each offers a musician something different. My previous everyday-play instrument was a hollow body electric Ibanez AF55, but I found myself running into a problem with a lack of frets, which reduced my ability to reach the higher notes. This is why I found the Squier by Fender Affinity Stratocaster Beginner Guitar Pack to be an excellent choice; it has 22 frets for high pitch tones.

Things to Consider Before Buying a Beginner Guitar

While my old guitar was a hollow body that allowed me to play with or without an amp, I found myself missing out on the electric feel of plugging in. This is why a kit like the Squier by Fender Affinity Stratocaster Beginner Electric Guitar Pack is useful; it comes with a Fender amp, some picks, and even a guitar case. None of these things were included when I purchased my older guitar from Guitar Center, so there's a lot of advantage to getting a pack.

The Squier by Fender Affinity Stratocaster Beginner Electric Guitar Pack

As mentioned, this product is a complete pack. This means that right in the packaging you'll find everything you need to start shredding. Also, Fender is an iconic brand name, which means that you can expect great note quality, excellent compatibility with later Fender amps, and superb intonation – complete with that clean Fender sound.

Simply put, Fender is one of the market leaders when it comes to electric guitars, which is why this pack is a great buy for a new guitarist or someone looking to get into playing a solid body electric like me. It even comes with straps, cables, and an electric tuner. If you already have these components and a higher end Telecaster or Stratocaster, then this might not be the instrument pack for you.

Pros

This is a great pack to get you started playing.

Since it includes a case, you can take your guitar with you when traveling.

It has 22 frets for higher notes

It's very easy to tune with the electronic tuner

Cons

The guitar isn't as well-built as Fenders' iconic guitars

The amplifier doesn't have effects like echo, distortion, or wahs

The instructional CD isn't very useful
