Top 5 reason's why you can not blame Jimmi hendrix for being the best.

Almost everybody knows who Jimmi hendrix is, and thats half the battle won. Jimmi Hendrix or "God" to people that play music, started a revolution. He single handedly created a genre of music and influenced the entire music world. His style of music is blues/rock and he created something called psychadelic rock. When the U.S did not appreciate it he took it to Europe became a guitar god and sent his amazing music vibes through the radio waves and shared with the world. He was an amazing performer there was no one who came close to as much style he had on stage, he not only used his guitar as an instrument but as a prop as well. He had a significant impact on their entire population it was a true movement. Everyone knows Hendrix for his guitar skills and they seem to over look his writing skills. He was very expressive and a lot of his songs had meaning deeper than the surface. Last but not least Hendrix's drug addiction, it sounds crazy but it helped him create the great music that was released. The drinking, pill popping, smokin and etc... helped him create a unique style of music. Unfortunatley it was also the cause of his death. It was more than obvious that he was in drugs when he composed most of his songs, and he even addmitted that it helped.

Gibson SG fade, or fade out?

Gibson, a line of high end guitars has done a horrific job with their new SG fade. This model has been bashed by avid followers of gibson, along with past and present owners. So i took the time to see just how bad the gibson really was. I must agree with everyone, Gibson dissapointed me eventhough I am not a big fan of theirs.

To start off the setup that it comes with feels very unorthadox and uncomfortable. The bridge is extremeley high the neck is weird the frets are rough. To make it simple the guitar just sounds like rubish. This is truly what you would expect from Epiphone.(Epiphone, owned by Gibson. A more affordable version of Gibson they come out with exact models just less expensive). To make it even worst the running price for it is about $1,200. This price quickly changed to a measley $700 after about a month of sales and reviews. Personally I think Gibson should take the loss and pull this sorry excuse of a guitar of the shelves and stop scamming people.

New Fender Strat road worn series

Fender is one of the most nuturios companies for guitar production,and quality.Their recent re-issue of the 70's strat, and telecaster is their way of saying we were the best and stil are. These line of guitars were obviously produced in the 70's, but the question is what made fender bring the 70's back. Its vey simple, the road worn series brings you the feel of old gym sneakers that fit just right, or a well molded baseball glove that hsa been handed down from your father. The strat gives you versatility allowing anything you play to seems flawless. While the telecaster sends chills down your spine with its warm blusy tone. These guitars give you the feeling that everything just feels right weither its the chunky tele neck or the mid size strat neck.If that doesnt float your boat the single coil 5 way switch on the strat and the 2 hummbuckers with the 3 waay switch on the tele should do it for you.
I took time to play both the strat and the tele and i must say that i was very impressed. The strat just felt amazing the sound blew me away. The high and low notes were dead on and it gave the music a sound that you cant get today due to modifications. The telecaster was just as good its a true blues machine every note had a vibe that made me want to play until the store closed.
Fender has done a great job and the reviews and sales speak for themselves. Hopefully this was beneficial for you if you were looking to purchase this guitar or a new guitar period, and for entertainment purposes.
