At the Guitar Armoire booth in Nashville at Summer NAMM, Premier Guitar gets the scoop on Hart Productions new stands, racks, their new Shadowbox, and the Guitar Armoire.
The band's guitar-star captain details BBS' sustained success marking their silver anniversary, remembers the honor and privligede he had playing Gary Rossington's "Free Bird" SG, explains the reason for lusting after under-the-radar vintage workhorse Gibsons, and shares the joy he has celebrating the music of Marshall Tucker Band and Toy Caldwell. Plus, host John Bohlinger and Charlie Starr share a pair of groovy, greasy jams!
Early Thunderbird models were built with a nine-ply neck-through-body design with mahogany wings, marking the first use of neck-through construction on a Gibson bass. It was also the first Gibson bass to feature a long 34” scale length, departing from the shorter 30.5” scale used previously. Today, Gibson honors that heritage with a new Thunderbird Bass that blends the spirit of the original with modern craftsmanship and performance.
Back in May, PG’s John Bohlinger headed to Nashville Municipal Auditorium to film a Rig Rundown with one of blues-rock’s hottest new commodities: Marcus King.
Ahead of their show at the Auditorium, Bohlinger spoke with King and bandmate Drew Smithers about the Marshall-Gibson connection that fuels their high-powered rock ’n’ roll. King’s father, Marvin, also makes a special cameo! Tune in for a steamy slice of Southern rock. Brought to you by D’Addario.
The Tokai brand has returned to the US, and PG contributor Tom Butwin got his hands on the Breezysound, a vintage-inspired T-style built in Japan with clean fretwork and tight tolerances throughout.
Some pedal circuits are equals parts history and mystery, as is the inspiration for the EHX Percolator. A unique design from a Milwaukee audio repair shop in the 1970s, the original is rare, gooped, and has gained a cult-classic status. The EHX Percolator expands on this original by adding modern control to a seriously wild sounding pedal.
