Reverend Guitars is known for working with some great musicians, including Pete Anderson and Unknown Hinson, the man who calls himself the King of Country Western Troubadours. In addition to producing guitars based on the designs and desires of these players, Reverend also has a number of limited edition instruments. The Six Gun Limited Edition was created in 2010, and once all of them are sold out, no more will be made.
The Six Gun Limited Edition takes the standard Six Gun guitar and modifies it so that it’s truly a one-of-a-kind instrument. It features a reverse headstock, a white pickguard and white neck and middle pickups, a Wilkinson V50 tremolo, and a limited edition logo found on the back of the headstock.
This relic guitar has a korina solidbody with a reverse bolt-on neck that is made of maple. The fingerboard is also maple and has a 12” radius. The pickups are Reverend T-style single-coil (bridge) and S-style (the middle and neck). You’ll find 22 medium jumbo frets on the instrument as well as Reverend pin-lock tuners, volume and tone controls, and a 5-way switch. This guitar retails for $1079 and, as mentioned above, supplies are extremely limited.
The VM-10 is one of two models that are made in China (the other is the VPB-30). All other Venture style guitars are crafted in Korea. The Wilson Brothers Venture VM-10 is a strat-style guitar that looks amazingly retro and sounds even better. This electric guitar features an agates, flat top body and has a neck made from maple that is bolted on using a smooth joint. It features 22F frets and a rosewood fingerboard.
As far as the rest of the hardware goes, everything on the VM-10 is top quality. It features three single coil pickups and chrome hardware. The guitar has one volume control and two tone controls, plus a five way selector switch. For finishes, you can get the Venture VM-10 in five different styles: black, red, white, sunburst, or wine red. This is one of the first Venture guitars to be made, and while it may lack some of the extra features that other models have, it’s certainly a classic. You just can’t go wrong with a Wilson Brothers Venture VM-10.

what is the Best amp for my 72 thinline fender telecaster. at the moment i am using a peavey valve king 112
For how much money? For not much, the Vox AD Valvetronix range is good, for a bit more I'd fancy a Fender Blues Junior, if you've just won the lottery, a Mesa Boogie or Cornford Hurricane.
The '72 Tele® Deluxe sports an alder body, famous '70s headstock and two Fender® "Wide Range" humbucking pickups with a traditional three-way switch and four skirted amp knobs (a "must have" for all Tele® guitar players).

'72 Telecaster DeluxeVintage buffs, retro freaks, style hounds, collectors and Tele enthusiasts take note! The long wait for the '72 Telecaster deluxe is over. It's not just the oversized headstock. It's not just the dual Fender "wide range" pickups and the 70's one piece "C" maple neck. It's a feel, sound and vibe that hasn't ever been recreated - until now. No need to break out the bell-bottoms and muscle cars - come get some 70's before they pass you by again.
I have a Fender '72 telecaster deluxe (reissue) that I bought second hand about 6 months ago. It plays great, except the action is quite high and hurts my fingers to play. I'm an intermediate standard guitarist, but I like guitars with low action.
I was recently told that the action can be adjusted via the truss rod. Is it safe for me to tighten the truss rod to pull the action down, and if so by how much is usual? On this guitar the truss rod protrudes near the headstock and is easily accessible. So I want to know if it is safe to adjust this myself?
Guitarists out there...any help appreciated!
Don't start making adjustments until you know what needs fixing. The truss rod is only part of the equation. The truss rod adjusts "neck relief" or the bow of the neck. Ideally, the neck should be very close to straight, with a teeny forward bow. You can check this with a straightedge....eyeballing down the neck isn't accurate enough. Alternately, you can put a capo on the first fret and press any string on one of the highest frets. This turns your string into a straightedge. At the midpoint on the neck, there should be a small gap between your string and the top of a fret.....the gap should be about the thickness of your high E string.....009 or so. As you know, this is adjusted by turning the truss rod. Be gentle. Do it in 1/4 turn increments and let the neck adjust.
Once the neck relief is adjusted, you can raise or lower the string height at the bridge. You can also check the top nut to be sure it is as low as possible. Think of it as a zero fret. The strings should pass over it at the same height as any other fret. When you're all done, don't forget to adjust the intonation. Chances are that all the adjustments will have thrown it off. Check the open strings against the 12th fret harmonic on a tuner. Move the bridge forward or back until the notes are the same. A lot of info here: http://www.projectguitar.com/tut/action.htm
Danelectro has a number of great guitars available on their website, and one of their newest relic guitars is the Danelectro 2009 DC-12. This new guitar is very affordable, which is one of the things Danelectro is known for. Their relic guitars don’t cost thousands of dollars, so even amateur players can often afford one of these beautiful instruments. Read more

The Gibson Les Paul guitar is one of the most iconic instruments in popular music. A number of variations of the base model have been introduced over the years, including the Gibson Les Paul Custom guitar. This is one of the pricier and highest quality guitars that Gibson makes. The LesPaul was designed by guitarist LesPaul in collaboration with Gibson in 1952.
The base LesPaul guitar was a response to the Fender Telecaster, which had pioneered the single body electric guitar design that was sweeping the rock, country and blues music scenes. The LesPaul had some differences, such as the strings being attached differently than other guitars. The Les Paul also differentiated itself by coming in many boldly colored designs.
The Les Paul Custom guitar was designed from the start to be a more high quality and stately guitar. It was nicknamed the Black Beauty for its slick black design. LesPaul stated that the design was meant to be reminiscent of a tux. The guitar's surface was made from solid mahogany, instead of maple like the standard model. Starting in 1957, the Custom was outfitted with the humbucker style pickup, giving it its defining bulky and warm sound.
The Custom of today has a sharper tone due to its ebony fretboard. The frets are also somewhat lower than those on your standard guitar, which has led to some calling the Custom the fretless wonder.
Many notable popular musicians have used the Gibson Les Paul custom guitar as their instrument of choice at one point or another. Artists from Carlos Santana to Peter Frampton to Eric Clapton have used Customs.
A brand new Custom today is worth several thousand dollars. They are no longer limited to just being Black Beauties; Customs have since produced with different finished including Antique White and Silverburst.
will a blank fender replacment neck fit my squire affinity stratocaster?
i got a new two piece maple neck for my squire affinity strat. im wondering if it will fit? will it be too big? do i have to sand the back of the neck down to make it not as tall?
it should fit since squire is just a branch of fender. i don't know for sure, but it seems right for it to fit since they are basically the same.

Which should I buy...Hot Rod '52 Telecaster or American Deluxe Ash Telecaster?
This is my first Telecaster and first Fender guitar all my other guitars are Gibson. So, I don't know much about telecasters. If you guys could help me decide on which to go that would be awesome! I have two in mind. What I am mainly looking for is the one with the best quality and the one with the twangier sound.
1. Vintage Hot Rod '52 Telecaster
or
2. American Deluxe Series Ash Telecaster
Thanks so much in advance!
Both are great guitars, but for twangier sound you should go with a Vintage Hot Rod '52 Telecaster

'72 Telecaster DeluxeVintage buffs, retro freaks, style hounds, collectors and Tele enthusiasts take note! The long wait for the '72 Telecaster deluxe is over. It's not just the oversized headstock. It's not just the dual Fender "wide range" pickups and the 70's one piece "C" maple neck. It's a feel, sound and vibe that hasn't ever been recreated - until now. No need to break out the bell-bottoms and muscle cars - come get some 70's before they pass you by again.
The Fender '72 Telecaster Custom Electric Guitar is a versatile tone machine. 1972 was a magical year for the Telecaster, as the venerable design spawned options and new designs left and right. The Custom took a classic alder body and added a C-shaped maple neck, bullet truss rod, vintage string-thru Tele bridge and 3-bolt neckplate brought to life by a Wide Range humbucking neck pickup and a traditional single-coil bridge pickup. Controls include 2 volume and 2 tone knobs plus a 3-way toggle switch. Black/white/black pickguard.
One of the most well known guitar legends is undoubtedly Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top. If you don't know who he is, you've really missed out on a large portion of rock history & need to get on YouTube or Napster and give ZZ Top & Gibbons a listen. One of the things that's most asked about Gibbons is how he gets his unique sound. His guitar has a very dry tone that is unique & helps create ZZ Top's unique sound.
While his tone is stuff of legends, and may remain his secret forever, Billy has used a bevy of amps, effects & guitars to produce this unique sound. Back in the day, Gibbons was most well known for playing his '59 Les Paul Standard, named Pearly Gates. You can hear him playing it on songs such as "La Grange", "Tush", "Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers", as well as many others. He uses a heavy set of strings on this guitar (.011-.052) & actually uses a quarter as his pick of choice. In addition to his Paul, he is also well known for using Dean guitars, most notably the furry ones that he's known for spinning around in his music videos. You can hear him play a Dean Z on tracks from the '80s like "Gimmie All Your Lovin'" and "Sharp Dressed Man".
In more recent years, Gibbons has been known for playing a wider range of guitars. He's been seen playing a '55 Les Paul, with a P-90 in the neck, as well as a '60 Gretsch Bo Diddley on ZZ Top's album "Rhythmeen". Gibbons is also no stranger to Fender's axes. He's been seen playing the classic Stratocaster, Telecaster, Esquire, Teisco Del Ray, Chiquita travel guitar and Jaguar, just to name a few. Also, he's been playing a Mark Erlewine custom guitar since the '80s.
As for effects, Gibbons is well known for using a variety of strange effects. He's been seen with vintage wahs, flangers, harmonizier, MXR Pitch Transposer and a Roland chorus, just to name a few. One effect that I've seen him use and think he's used to an amazing end is the Bixonic Expandora fuzzbox.
Billy's choice of amps is also well rounded and includes a custom Rio Grande 125-watt tube amp, a '66 Marshall Plexi, Scholz Rockman, various Fender amps, and a Marshall JMP-1 tube preamp with Peavey's TubeFex. Onstage, Gibbons runs his sound through Orange 4x12 cabinets to create his stage sound. In the mid-'80s, however, this was not his preferred onstage setup. He is most famous for his use of the "Amp Cabin", of his own design, which were walls of Marshall and Fender amps, facing inward on each other, with a mic in the center. He roofed his cabin and used the setup to create a sound that's truly unique.
While Gibbons continues to create a unique and one of a kind sound through his setups, he's been no stranger to experimentation and variety in his setups. I don't know exactly how he gets his tone, and may never for that matter, but one thing I do know is that he's used his expertise to create some of the most unique sounds in the history of Rock and Roll.
