Tim Mullally
For nearly 20 years Mullally has been performing his own style of alternative pop, rock and blues in the Tampa Bay region. Whether fronting psychedelic rock trio Tommy Tye Dye, lead guitarist for Multi-Color-House or collaborator with Robert Wegmann; Tim has been inspired both in the studio and on stage. Witness his solo release Mountain Hike, the Mullally/Wegmann release The Mayfly Glimmer, or the recently released Tommy Tye Dye retrospective for solid evidence.

February 2013
1962 Gibson ES-350T
Instead of a more common tobacco sunburst, this gorgeous ES-350T sports a cherry sunburst finish that still pops a half-century later. With its laminated maple top, back, and sides, the ES-350T was meant to be a more affordable version of the Byrdland. (The Byrdland originally cost $550, while the ES-350T was $395.) The rosewood fretboard with split parallelogram inlays and crown headstock inlay were carried over from the original full-sized ES-350.


Original price: $485 in 1962, plus $56 for hardshell case
Current estimated market value: $6,500

Fender Mark Speer Stratocaster Review

Fender Mark Speer Stratocaster Review

Khruangbin is a band that moves freely in negative space. They don’t deal in negative vibes, mind you, but the spaces in between objects—or in music, between notes and tones. In Khruangbin’s case, negative space isn’t quite as empty as it seems. In fact, a lot of it is colored with reverberated overtones, which is an aesthetic well suited to Mark Speer’s instrument of choice. Because if you want to color negative space without being a space hog, there are few better means than a Stratocaster.

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.
