No NAMM, no problem? In Episode 20 of the Guitar Stories Podcast we dive deep into a controversial discussion on whether the time for trade shows like NAMM or Guitar Summit is over or not. We also discuss how Covid-19 might act as a catalyst for a stronger digitalization of the gear industry, and why adaptability is key, especially for smaller companies. Dan also shows us his new/old Ibanez AS100 from 1981 (Andy’s birthyear!) while Andy is trying to sort out which pedal got famous by which artist according to his newly acquired coffee table book “Stompbox”. We also excite from the latest Mando episode and drool over a beautiful painting that Dan had commissioned from one of his favorite illustrators, Danny Beck. Plus: Win a Bulldog Music Gear wallhanger at the end of the month. Enjoy! (*Episode sponsored by Bulldog Music Gear*)
Handle with care, Episode 19 of the Guitar Stories Podcast might cause severe G.A.S. attacks! This week we welcome Anthony Garone from MakeWeirdMusic.com who was handed Steve Vai‘s main Ibanez guitars several years ago to get them „new lungs“ and who is now Steve’s go-to-guy for creating some unique guitars with local painter Renee King. We also debate what the fuzz is all about on the new Boss TB-2W Tonebender and why the reissue of the Ibanez RG565 this week was long overdue. There is plenty of great guitar stories in this episode. Plus: Win a Bulldog Music Gear wallhanger at the end of the month. Enjoy! (*Episode sponsored by Bulldog Music Gear*)
With a slight delay we bring you Episode 18 of the Guitar Stories Podcast. This time we welcome Jen Majura and Alen Brentini from guitar duo Something On 11. We discuss their latest self-titled album, learn why rockstars arrive 25 minutes ahead of time these days, how Alen once repaired his VW Golf with a guitar cable, and what noises Jen’s bird Cookie can make (a treat for all ASMR lovers!). We also learn why Andy’s latest acquisition is NOT a guitar and why Dan had to unbox more than 100 guitars last week. Enjoy this beast of a podcast episode!
Gear beats Gold! If you think you need a stock portfolio or a chest full of gold for financial security, you might be mistaken. In Episode 17 we talk about how to make 100% and more profit by buying and selling gear in a smart way. Dan also gives some pro tips on how to avoid being scammed online and Andy discusses which items are currently skyrocketing in price. We conclude with some wild card predictions about what the next Klon Centaur could be investment-wise. Do we have your attention now? Fine, enjoy the episode!
In Episode 2 of the new season we deal with some technical difficulties (PG we salute you!) at first and then chat about how Andy’s new Shure podcast mic is working. We also discuss the ramifications that the divorce of Martin Guitars and their German distributor AMI will bring about for the acoustic community. Andy tells us about his ambient ambitions with KMA Audio Machine’s new Cirrus Delay, and Dan tries to find an answer to the question: How many knobs are enough on a live pedal? We also give away an Ibanez Hoodie during the livestream and conclude with a quick recap of the second Mando episode (nah, let’s just cover that up in silence). Enjoy!
Season 2 of the Guitar Stories Podcast starts with a bang! We're recording live now and you can choose whether you want to listen to the show in the classic way as a podcast or watch as a liveshow on Youtube (Rated R: May contain sexy dudes *g*). In the premiere of Season Two, we sweep up the gear news of the week, digress a bit over the latest Mandalorian episode, discuss the new H&K Nano amps that are small ... I mean ... really small, and welcome Lari Basilio in the Ibanez roster. Oh yes, and we spontaneously give away a Drop Guitar Strap Adjuster to the live audience. What a great way to re-start the show. This is the way!
Episode 14 is the grand finale of season one! We welcome a bunch of awesome guests (and Henning) discussing whether lefthand guitars are just a marketing gag for lazy lefties or if there is some added value to having a guitar for southpaws. Enjoy the chaos!
In Episode 13 we're revealing the full story behind Andy's new DC Junior in Ferris Blue - full disclosure on a paint job gone wrong. We also discuss the brand new Jared Dines signature model and why only a fraction of his fans will be able to get it. Lastly, Dan is serenading in Open G to celebrate Andy's New Guitar Day. Enjoy!
In Episode 12 we discuss with Andy Crowley, aka Andy Guitar, what it takes to create one of the largest guitar tuition channels on YouTube. We also learn how a broken headstock on his old Crafter acoustic lead into releasing a signature acoustic guitar, why Dan traded his Marshall Bluesbreaker pedal against a Danelectro Pastrami Overdrive when he was a dumb teen, and why Andy is 0.0001 per cent Duo Sonic. Enjoy!
