Epiphone, the leading accessible guitar brand For Every Stage, is proud to release the new Brendon Small GhostHorse Explorer in Galaktikon Burst. The GhostHorse Explorer is created by Brendon Small--musician, writer, showrunner, director, actor, and mastermind behind the massive metal band Dethklok and the Adult Swim animated TV series "Metalocalypse"--and the luthiers at Epiphone in Nashville, TN. The Epiphone Brendon Small GhostHorse Explorer is available worldwide now at epiphone.com.

Designed by metal legend Brendon Small, the Epiphone GhostHorse Explorer electric guitar is a modified Explorer body shape with a deep cutaway, created in a custom Galaktikon Burst gloss finish. The GhostHorse Explorer features a figured maple top, a matte Ebony finished back, sides, and neck, a Floyd Rose tremolo system, and is powered by Gibson USA BurstBucker pickups. The fast-playing SlimTaper neck features a contoured heel joint for outstanding upper fret access, a bound Ebony fretboard with 24 jumbo frets, Grover Mini Rotomatic 18:1 tuners, and an Icarus spaceship medallion is on the back of the headstock, as well as the 12th fret.

The Epiphone Brendon Small GhostHorse Explorer marks Brendon's third collaboration with the luthiers at Epiphone and follows the Thunderhorse Explorer and the Snow Falcon Flying V. "I am so excited to finally put out the GhostHorse," says Brendon Small. "It's my most played guitar and so very expressive. It's just nice having another Horse in the family." Brendan Small wrote, directed, and composed the new song and video titled "GhostHorse," all while performing on his new Epiphone GhostHorse Explorer.

While the pedal builders at Sehat Effectors are in the game for their love of the 6-string, they’ve since begun exploring what effects pedals mean to other kinds of instrumentalists.

This time, I’d like to share my perspective as a pedal builder on how our effects pedals—originally crafted with guitarists in mind—are experiencing an exciting evolution in use. Our customer base spans around the globe, and as it turns out, many of them aren’t guitarists. Instead, our pedals are finding their way into the hands of non-guitarist musicians like DJs, synth players, movie sound directors, and even drummers. Yes, a drummer once used one of my fuzz pedals in a drum miking setup—quite an extreme yet bold experiment! This made me wonder: How did such a phenomenon come about?
