New ’59 Fender Jim Campilongo Top-Loader Telecaster

Posted on February 1, 2010 (April 3, 2017) by Billy Penn

Fender is releasing the new ’59 Jim Campilongo Top-Loader Telecaster this month. This guitar is a faithful reproduction of Jim’s well-worn ’59 Tele. According to many interviews I’ve read, Jim really prefers the top-loader bridge as compared to the string-through design. I personally love Jim’s playing and I complately think he deserves a signature model. […]

Posted on January 30, 2010 (April 3, 2017) by Billy Penn

I stumbled upon this article about The Edge’s guitar delay because I had to cover a part of a U2 song a while ago. I was sitting with the song “Where the Streets Have No Name” and had to figure out the beginning for an introduction for a corporate event gig. I was really trying […]

New Fender G-DEC 3 Amplifier!

Posted on January 29, 2010 (April 3, 2017) by Billy Penn

Wow folks….this little amp is a really far stretch from the original Fender Woody amps of the late ’40s! It is more than a digital amp in my opinion. It is more like a “computer” amp. Any of you guys following me know that I’m a pretty traditional type guitar player but I’m always curious […]

Posted on January 28, 2010 (April 3, 2017) by Billy Penn

A while back I saw a post on one of the guitar blogs I frequent and the title was “Is Clapton Still Viable”? if I remember correctly. There were many comments left by guitar players and music fans alike. The post struck me kind of funny because so many people know the name Eric Clapton […]
