Review : PRS SE Custom 24 with Piezo

Given my expressed love for piezo pickups, you might be inclined to expect harsh words out of the gate with this guitar. Not this time. With a PRS/LR Baggs piezo in the bridge and two PRS 58/15S pickups in a semi-hollow body, this is the best SE guitar that I have ever played, which is saying a lot considering how superb the SE family has been over the last few years.

Review : Fender Player Plus Meteora

The Player Plus Meteora is not your typical Fender guitar. It is a serious rock machine with excellent sounding humbucking pickups, a two post vibrato, independent volume controls and coil splitting. And you can find solid deals on them right now.
