| The SpeakerMate Combo Amp Expander |
June 29, 2006 |
The SpeakerMate Combo Amp Expander by Sherlock Audio Canada was designed in response to requests for a SpeakerMate specifically designed to address the shortcomings of many combo amps. The majority of combo amps either don't feature an external speaker jack or don't allow the use of the combo's internal speaker along with any additional, external speaker cabinet, at the same time. The SpeakerMate CX offers combo amp owners several possible setups.
The new multi-function SpeakerMate CX will now allow any typical combo amp to either power an external speaker cabinet separately, or in tandem with the combo's speaker. A separate function of the SpeakerMate CX also allows a number of different speaker impedance combinations to be ... |

Michael Angelo Batio, a world-renowned progressive rock guitarist, is set to release his new signature Dean model during the 2007 Winter NAMM show in Anaheim, CA. The guitar will be available sometime during fall of 2006.

| New Innovative Guitar: The Handle |

What are we talking about? THE HANDLE, the most revolutionary electric guitar of our times, produced by Jim Reed and recently presented in a ‘sneak preview’ during the Salone del Mobile in Milan in April 2006.
Mono-chassis guitar completely in carbon fiber, THE HANDLE, signed by the award winning designer Peter Solomon who innovated every detail of this instrument by combining a striking formal identity with cutting edge technology.

| Latest Forum Thread - Stringing over the tail piece |
Anyone know if stringing over the tail piece makes any difference to the sound of the guitar?
I figured it wouldn't effect the action of the guitar because the strings are still hitting the saddle (which controls the height of the strings to the fret board). Anyone ever tried it out? Did it make any difference at all?
The only thing I can think of as to why to do this would be more area of the string hitting the tail piece (which is screwed into the body) so possibly more resonance into the body wood. But that's about it. |
