If anyone's interested, I'm updating my blog as I go with all the guitar p0rn pics that I've taken so far!! http://sixstringsamurai.co.nz/2014/01/25/namm-2014-prs-rainbow-archon-dean-sigs-schecter-girls-bogner-helios/ And... other pics.

Yay! I'm finally here, and it was an exhausting, but thoroughly enjoyable first day, even though I woke up at 5.45am and was on my feet until about 4pm. Here's the first installment of "things that I thought were cool" at NAMM '14 - first post contains H&K, Randall, Tech 21, 65 Amps content and...

http://sixstringsamurai.co.nz/2014/01/11/namm-2014-esp-usa-e-ii-and-ltd-new-model-preview/ And many, many more, just check out the blog post where I've laid them all out. I dunno about that pink/blue Warbird though. Hahaha.

Pics, details and vid in here! http://sixstringsamurai.co.nz/2013/12/18/high-gain-prs-guitars-introduces-the-archon-amplifier/ It'll be interesting to see if this gets some momentum with some big name players adopting it, since the rest of the PRS amp line has kinda fallen flat as far as I...

Re: NAD!! Mesa Boogie content Oh man, don't I know it. I won't be buying any amps for the foreseeable future - which, luckily, is fine by me considering how much ass this kicks! I took a better photo :)

Mesa Mark V!!! Hastily taken shot at the store which I battled to in rush hour traffic to get the amp before a band practice... Loving it so far. First impressions from about 45 mins playing it at home and then rushing to a band practice where I only used clean/medium gain tones: - Clean...

Reverb + new aesthetic options, + combo form! Mesa stepping it up as per usual. http://sixstringsamurai.co.nz/2013/11/12/the-mesa-mini-rectifier-gets-a-brother-the-recto-verb-25/

cPjOmIi14VI Something I cooked up for an upcoming article :) Let me know what you guys think!!

There's a bit of a story behind this one. As some of you may know, I run a review site here in NZ, so I have some good friends among the local retailers who support my website by lending me gear to review. This guitar was stolen from a store, though eventually it was recovered when the idiots...

Re: Post your current board Just rearranged my board this morning, here's what it looks like: I have the Line 6 M5 there as a Swiss Army Knife type deal for whatever random effects I occasionally use... but I'm finding I don't actually use whacky effects that often, so I'm thinking of...

Re: Have you guys seen all of these Mooer peadals?! The previous distributor of these in NZ gave me a whole bunch! They're pretty cool! Obviously as with most clone pedals, the component values differ from the real thing, but the tones are maybe on the level of 80% there, at 50% of the...

Re: The Little Handwired Vox Is Pretty Cool The Vox AC4HW1 is an AMAZING little unit! I had one for a few weeks from the local distributor, and was pretty tempted to buy it by the time I'd finished doing all the clips. Definitely not going to be the same with Greenbacks and a small closed back...

:) :) :) :) :) :) Picked up this '74 SG Special for an absolute bargain. It's in ridiculous condition for something this age - frets aren't even significantly worn. I've never been one for SGs in the past but I'm just loving this one.

Had the privilege of reviewing this guitar recently. What a great, well balanced guitar, and a world away from the standard Ibanez shred stick image. I did a cover of AT's brilliant Electric Gypsy to go with the review... check it out! :) zV3NwUBT9fw If you liked it please check out the full...
