Schecter C-1 Hellraiser FR Guitar

Schecter is another popular manufacturer of guitars used by metal guitarists. The C-1 model is one of their nicest aesthetically. As of late I have been really thinking about purchasing a second guitar. I currently own an Epiphone Les Paul standard which is a great guitar. However, sometimes I feel limited with its classic design. [...]

Ernie Ball Music Man John Petrucci Signature Guitar

John Petrucci is one guitarist that until lately I haven’t paid much attention to. I knew of him and of Dream Theatre but had never had much exposure to his music.

Fender Stratocaster Yngwie Malmsteen Signature Guitar

Yngwie Malmsteen is sort of in a genre of his own. To call his music metal is sort of a stretch by today’s standards. Regardless, the guy can shred better than 90 percent of the players today, and without him, shredding wouldn’t be the same.
Inspired by to pick up guitar by powerful footage of Jimi [...]
