Washburn Guitars adds a new line of Resonator guitars to their Folk and Bluegrass instruments.

Washburn recognizes the important role played by the Resonator guitar in the history of bluegrass music and has decided to honor the instrument with a new line of Resonator guitars. The current line up of Resonator guitars include the acoustic resonators R15R and R15S, and their acoustic electric brothers the R15RCE and the R45RCE.

The single cone resonator and spider-bridge design is a common denominator among the four Resonator guitars. This adds to the series' classic sound and vibe which resonator players tend to look for.

Washburn resonator series guitars also features chrome die-cast tuners and a 19 fret Rosewood neck with dot inlays.

R45RCE sports an eye candy flame maple top, back and sides, while the rest of the Resonator series guitars have mahogany tops, backs and sides.

The R15S model with S standing for "Slide" was designed for slide players, it has a square neck profile which is great for playing lap/horizontal slides.

The acoustic electric versions sports a cutaway body design for reaching into those high notes and adds in a single coil neck pickup with a volume and tone knob.

These resonators were designed to give the classic resonator feel with modern quality refinements at an affordable price range. You will soon be able to get your very own Washburn Resonator series guitar for a minimum of $712.90 to $890.90 MSRP. @evernote @facebook @hi5 @jaiku @myspace @orkut @picasa @plerb @smugmug @soundcloud @sugarsync @tinypic @wordpress @zooomr Acoustic Guitars washburn guitars

“The SE Acoustic line is a major moment for PRS guitars. I think it will be very well received.” – Paul Smith

The PRS SE Angelus strives to provide the finest instrument in its price point. Made with high quality components, including a solid back and solid spruce top, a bone nut and saddle, and PRS designed SE tuners, this model has a rich, resonant, and responsive tone. The SE Angelus shares the same proprietary bracing pattern and several distinct construction features as our acclaimed Maryland-made acoustics, and the trademark bird inlays and traditional PRS headstock design clearly portray PRS quality. The SE Angelus will be offered in both a “Standard” and “Custom” package. The Angelus Standard model will include mahogany sides, a solid mahogany back, and a rosewood fretboard and bridge. The Angelus Custom acoustic guitar model will include rosewood sides, a solid rosewood back, and an ebony fretboard and bridge.

The SE Angelus will be available in very limited quantities in late 2011 and will be a purely acoustic instrument. The product line will expand to include models with built-in pickup systems in early 2012. This is a great guitar play guitar songs on. I know I enjoy it! @evernote @facebook @hi5 @jaiku @myspace @orkut @picasa @plerb @smugmug @soundcloud @sugarsync @tinypic @wordpress @zooomr

Magna Carta Records is rocking two guitar gear giveaways right now.

First up, enter to win a Dean MLX electric guitar plus some D’Addario strings & accessories (US & Canada only). They are also running a worldwide giveaway, where you can score a whole pack of gear from D’Addario and Planet Waves.

The Dean ML guitar was created by Dean Zelinsky in 1977 to be the guitar with ultimate sustain and tone. Created with the Dean concept of spreading the mass of the body over a large area, the MLX electric guitar has something more. Dean believes radical string angles add to the resonance that helps a guitar become more alive. The distinctive headstock creates extra long string length, giving the ML a sound like no other guitar! Played by many of rock's elite over the past two decades, the ML has appeared in award winning videos, on stage and album covers, and more importantly, on some of rock's finest recordings.

EHX Stereo Talking Machine Guitar Effects Pedal Review

http://bit.ly/qwW0U3 The programmable Stereo Talking Machine Vocal Formant Filter produces creative vowel-shaping that is controlled by the player's dynamics. Nine selectable Voices deliver vowel sounds such as AH-OO and OW-EE, as well as Bassballs and wah-type dynamic filters. The Voices can be shaped with individual Attack and Decay controls while Sensitivity adjusts the envelope response. The resulting effects mimic characteristics of human speech and create sounds that are both organic and harmonically rich.

As its name implies, the Electro-Harmonix EHX Stereo Talking Machine possesses true stereo outputs as well as an effects loop. When I plugged it into my Fender Stratocaster. An expression pedal Input provides realtime control over filter sweeps, while nine preset locations let you store and instantly recall favorite programs. The Stereo Talking Machine delivers compelling sound-shaping capability with advanced control. @evernote @facebook @hi5 @jaiku @myspace @orkut @picasa @plerb @smugmug @soundcloud @sugarsync @tinypic @wordpress @zooomr Effects Pedals ehx
