I bought a Katana 100 from Steel Guitars of Nashville about a year ago and find the speaker works well. On one occasion I had it turned up fairly loud and noticed some distortion coming from it when I ...

I upgraded from my Fender 400 to a S10 Emmons in 2000 and it has the Day setup. I like it, but my D10 bought in 2013 was standard Emmons and I like it better at this stage.

I've had the extreme pleasure of backing up Marty Haggard at a local county fair in 2015 and 2017. I believe he tours alone and uses whatever local musicians the promoter can put together. We received ...

$40/month? I think it's a bargain at that price. It'll be totally up to me to make it work, and that's where some of the hesitation comes from because I know my shoddy practice habits, but I'm going t ...

I had two of these EB pedals and one weekend in 2014 I had BOTH strings break on consecutive gigs!
