5 COOL THINGS by Bruce Adolph
C . F . Martin Model J28J DN It was pretty easy to spot Martin ’ s double-neck 12-string and 6-string acoustic guitar . It actually felt lighter to hold than it looks , and it was quite fun to play . It does take a second or two to switch from one neck to another . The price is not for the budget minded however , but it is truly a cool thing to see . $ 7,999.00 MartinGuitar . com
Fullertone Electric Guitars from Eastman The name itself gives you a solid clue to what these guitars are all about . Think Fullerton , CA . What we have here from Eastman guitars is also some well-designed additions to the original “ T ” and “ S ” style gutiars . Two levels of production . One in the U . S . and the other in Korea , give you two price points . I was impressed with the $ 800 price range overseas models and the U . S . made ones are in the $ 4,000 zone . Super cool and we will review them soon for you . www . EastmanGuitars . com
Headrush Flex Prime Guitar Multi-effects / Amp Modeler This new Headrush unit offers quite a lot of processing power in a small footprint . I can see me just grabbing this for my one floor pedal and playing electric guitar for our worship team . I can hear the gasp now from that last statement of mine by my friends with seriously large pedal boards . Ha ! Plus , a mini volume pedal / wahwah . How cool is that ? $ 499 www . Headrushfx . com
L . R . Baggs AEG-1 Acoustic-Electric Guitar We have reviewed this breakthrough guitar designed with the church platform in mind already in our Worship Guitar Player BUYER ’ S GUIDE but it was good to see it displayed at its first NAMM Show . The response so far as been through the roof . I got to tell Lloyd Baggs himself how much I like this guitar for the worship community . $ 1,599 . You can even buy them directly from us here … Worship Musician Shop
