Guitar furniture

Posted by Jon in • Guitar Furniture


Designer Rick Metz has created a series of guitar influenced furniture pieces. You can get a sunburst Gibson Les Paul chair or maybe you would prefer a black Strat chair? If you don’t want a guitar chair maybe you would prefer a guitar coffee table although the dimensions and shape look a bit odd?! In which case you may prefer the simplicity of a pick coffee table or pick clock. I wonder if you could get the pick table painted like the Joe Satriani signature picks?

Ibanez Dayz Summer 2007

Posted by Jon

I’m a little late on this one as this has already been running for a month (not that it even applies to me as I don’t live in the US!) but Ibanez are holding “Ibanez Dayz” at various Ibanez dealers throughout the US which is also sponsored by D’Addario. Ibanez techs will be on hand to restring your acoustic or electric guitar with a set of D’Addarios and give it a free set up. More info here.

Win a Fernandes signed by Ozzy

Posted by Jon

Fernandes Guitars are giving away a Ravelle Elite signed by Ozzy Osborne, I didn’t know Ozzy played guitar!?

In other Ozzy news, the prince of darkness is to be the first induction to the Birmingham walk of fame, here is the link to the walk of fame site. Being a Brummie myself, I think this is hilarious.

Air Guitar Pro

Posted by Jon

I personally think that Air Guitar competitions are under serious threat from the potential Guitar Hero gaming competitions that I’m sure will start popping up soon around the globe, and… why not it actually has a point and you can mod real guitars to become GH controllers! But for the hardcore Air Guitar fans this gadget might just add that extra dimension that will help put you in contention for the Air Guitar World Championships!

Or maybe just get them the keychainwhich doubles as a small liquor flask. I mean Ribena flask.

For the budding Luthier!

Posted by Jon

Have you ever wanted to convert your acoustic to have a cutaway? Probably not or chances are you would have bought a cutaway acoustic in the first place, but just in case there are some carpentary masters who fancy it there is an article over at Instructables showing you exactly how to do it!

The first step they list is get a guitar with a link to eBay, so make sure you read “Buying a guitar on eBay” on The Guitar Resource first.
