John Bohlinger gets his hands on the Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition Seymour Duncan 50th Anniversary Telecaster, a faithful recreation of the personal guitar Seymour Duncan has played for over 50 years. The design traces back to the iconic guitar Seymour originally built for Jeff Beck, but features custom elements to Seymour's exact specifications. It's got a Gibson Tune-o-matic bridge, aged nitro finish, and a pair of exclusive hand-wound pickups that aren't available anywhere else.

PG contributor ‪@TomButwin‬ dives into the latest evolution of the green-box legacy: the TWA Source Code SC‑01 Overdrive. Designed by the legendary Susumu Tamura (yes—the original mind behind the TS808), this pedal combines vintage tone and handmade USA craftsmanship with serious modern enhancements: internal 18v voltage-boosting circuitry for extra headroom, a multi-transistor input buffer to preserve your guitar’s core tone, and a unique “Bite” control for dialing in even-order harmonics and amp-style saturation.
