http://bit.ly/qdH4W4 Schecter Guitars adds a Single Cut to the minimalists metal machine line of Blackjack ATX series. For no-frills, reckless abandon, Schecter's Blackjack ATX Solo-6 addition rounds out an already small grouping of reclusive siblings packing serious aggression.
The heavy metal purist will find the pair of Seymour Duncan Active Blackouts as the prominent standout on this heavily subdued Mahogany body at 25.5" scale. A 3-piece Mahogany neck is set in with Schecter's Ultra Access for nailing the 24X jumbo frets on ebony.
You won't find any fame-seeking inlays other than an electric active symbol placed at the 12th fret with an understated Aged Multi-Ply binding. Straight-up features continue with a TonePros TOM w/ Thru-Body bridge system and easy to utilize Volume / Volume / Tone controls give the modern player the freedom to concentrate on playing. Hardware follows suit in Black Chrome and it's all locked up with Schecter Locking Tuners.
Available in Aged Black Satin (ABSN) or Aged White (AWHT). Check for prices.

AXL Fireax And Jacknife Available In Black Matte Finishes
The matte-finish Jacknife guitar has a solid alder body and comes with 2 EMG-designed Alnico P-90 pickups. The thin maple neck is excellent for lightning-fast runs, and the string-through-body design gives the guitar great sustain. The comfortable rosewood fretboard is finished with Abalone dot position markers.
The Fireax with matte finish is also built from solid alder, and features 2 EMG-designed Alnico humbuckers and an EMG-designed single-coil pickup. The bridge is a classic floating tremolo design, perfect for whammy bar dive-bombs, but still keeps the Fireax in perfect tune. The ultra-thin maple neck is finished with a rosewood fretboard and exclusive Arrowhead fretboard inlay.
Both guitars feature black hardware, black truss rod covers and an AXL Skull headstock plate logo. The matte-finish Jacknife has a stylish brushed aluminum pickguard that really sets off the finish. Both of these guitars look and sound amazing.
The Jacknife in matte finish has a MAP of $224.99 and the matte finish Fireax has a MAP of $299.99. AXL Guitars is the builder of the best-selling Badwater electric guitars and basses, and the Mayhem and Marquee Series of electric guitars. Check for hot buys.

Vox announces new electric guitars
http://bit.ly/oFQQKC Vox Guitars--NAMM 2010 sees Vox launch a range of new electric guitar models including single-cutaway solidbody, double-cutaway solidbody and semi-hollow designs.
SSC/SDC-55 solidbody guitars
Both the Single Cutaway (SSC) and Double Cutaway (SDC) solidbody guitars embody the same design philosophy as the original Vox Virage. Combining advanced production methods with hands-on craftsmanship results in a superior instrument that is remarkably playable, yet versatile enough to provide you with your own personal voice.
3D body contouring
State-of-the-art carving methods provide the 55 solidbody instruments with a contoured body that fits naturally and comfortably, whether you prefer to play sitting or standing.
The top surface is also perfectly carved, resulting in additional playing comfort and a distinguished look. The set neck features an inverse heel design and deep cut that offers unobstructed access to the upper frets. The distinctive headstock and the bound fingerboard are inlaid with the winged 'S' shape mother-of-pearl.
Superior string handling
The advanced MaxConnect aluminium bridge features extended saddle travel for flawless intonation with any gauge string. The full contact shape and light weight combine to deliver thick, rich tone with clear, singing harmonics.
Rich, refined tone
Each of the three pickup elements in our new CoAxe pickups delivers a unique and sophisticated tone, yet each one remains whisper-quiet.
By combining different pickups with different settings, the 55 solidbody guitars offer a deep range of tonal choices. The passive analogue tone circuitry offers both a Master Volume and a Master Tone control to refine your individual sound. The controls are easy to use and logically laid out, allowing fast changes during performance.
SSC-55 (Single Cutaway) available finishes: Teaburst (ash top/mahogany body), Vintage Cream (ash top/mahogany body), Black (maple top/mahogany body), Goldtop (maple top/mahogany body).
SDC-55 (Double Cutaway) available finishes: Teaburst (solid ash), Trans Red (solid ash), Black (maple top/mahogany body), Goldtop (maple top/mahogany body).
Specifications
Scale length: 638mm/25.125-inch, Frets: 22, Nut width: 43mm, Pickups: 2 x CoAxe, Case: Semi-rigid hardshell.
SSC/SDC-33 solidbody guitars
Cosmetically similar to the 55 solidbody guitars, and employing many of the same distinguished components, the 33 instruments represent a dramatic breakthrough in price for a guitar of this quality. The Vox 33 solidbody guitars are available in both Single Cutaway (SSC) and Double Cutaway (SDC) styles.
Carved construction
The signature Vox 3D contoured body ensures impeccable comfort and fatigue-free playing, offering a natural fit either seated or standing. Elegantly carved top surfaces result in a distinguished look and a comfortable playing position.
Easy access to the upper frets is provided by the deeply cut inverse heel joint. Position dot markers are placed both on the fingerboard and on the side of the neck for fast reference.
Quality components
The 33 guitars use the same MaxConnect aluminium bridge as the Virage, offering extended saddle travel for flawless intonation with any gauge string. Strings slide in from under the back edge of the bridge to make changing strings a snap.
The full contact shape and light weight combine to deliver thick, rich tone with clear, singing harmonics. Our Vox Super Smooth tuners offer the 33 guitars enhanced tuning stability, so you can play with confidence. The mahogany necks are topped with rosewood fingerboards.
Uncompromisable tone
33 guitars offer a deep range of tonal choices. Our new CoAxe pickups feature two pickup elements; each delivers a unique and sophisticated tone, yet each one remains whisper-quiet. The passive analogue tone circuitry offers both a Master Volume and a Master Tone control to refine your individual sound. Logically laid out and easy to use, the controls allow fast changes during performance.
SSC-33 (Single Cutaway) available finishes: Teaburst (ash top/mahogany body), Vintage Cream (ash top/mahogany body), Black (solid mahogany), Goldtop (solid mahogany).

Specifications

HDC-77 semi-hollowbody guitar
Featuring many of the same design cues and distinguished components as the esteemed Vox Virage, the sharp-horned HDC-77 offers an outstanding value for a quality instrument well worthy of the Vox name.
Beautiful to look at, the HDC-77 is available in solid classic colors, or outfitted in a variety of semi-transparent finishes, set off by figured tops and backs.
Proud pedigree
In addition to the unique body sculpting and design, the HDC-77 features the same inverse heel joint, deeply cut for free access to the upper frets, as the original Virage series guitars.
The MaxConnect aluminium bridge and Vox Super Smooth tuners offer superior string handling, and offer tuning stability as well as a thick, rich tone with clear, singing harmonics.
Large rectangular position markers adorn the fingerboard; dot position markers grace the side of the neck for fast reference. The rosewood fingerboard provides a comfortable playing surface; the mahogany neck is rock-stable.
Wide sonic palette
Our whisper-quiet CoAxe pickups feature three distinct tones, each derived from a different pickup element. The result is a versatile assortment of unique and sophisticated tones.
The passive analogue tone circuitry offers extended control using the Master Volume and Master Tone knobs. Logically laid out and easy to use, the controls allow fast changes during performance. The HDC-77 offers a deep range of tonal choices to satisfy your tonal cravings.
HDC-77 (Double Cutaway) available finishes:
Siennaburst (figured maple-ply top and back/mahogany sides), Blackburst (figured maple-ply top and back/mahogany sides), Trans Red (maple-ply top and back/mahogany sides), Solid Ivory (maple-ply top and back/mahogany sides). Check for prices. @pingfm @plerb

9 year old guitarist rocks on guitar
http://bit.ly/
Young Tallan Nobel Latz is a name to remember. After you watch the video below you'll know why.
A 9-year-old who plays blues guitar? Sounds like perfect fodder for a talent show. With an interest in "rocky blues," this little soul man wows the audience with his technical prowess. As host Nick Cannon exclaims, "Tallan got talent!" The boy has class, too -- he says he'd like to win the prize money so his mom can quit her job and they can spend more time together.
