Frank Massucci
"Frank Massucci did a lot of work on his 2011 Baja Tele. The neck was replaced with a Warmoth compound radius fat boy, and he upgraded with Lindy Fralin pickups, new pots, caps and 4-way switch, pickguard, and tuners. ""This was my 11th Tele,"" he says, ""and I finally got it right. All the others have been packed away since this was finished. Sounds and plays amazing."""

Darkglass Anagram Review

Guitar effects pedal with knobs, presets, and footswitches in a sleek silver design.

Darkglass Electronics is a bass player’s company. And like many bass-centric brands, they sometimes seem determined to ensure that guitar players aren’t the only ones having fun when it comes to amps and effects. If that’s true, the DSP-driven Anagram may be their most impressive form of revenge yet.

Fortin Kali Review

Fortin Kali Review

The aptly named Kali distills elements of the Fortin Cali—a Plexi-inspired amp—into a 2-channel pre-amp and distortion pedal. Each channel has three gain modes—vintage, raw, and saturation—which are selectable via a mini toggle. And each mode has a very distinct vibe, which could be loosely categorized as low-end-heavy, midrangey, and high-gain-centric, respectively.
