The addition of the humbucker adds a whole new sonic palette that is available to the Stratocaster, but is that tone right for you? Check out the demos and tell us what you think!

Those chords can come in a few different shapes and sizes, but there are some basics that you really should know, and that's today's video."...Griff.

Blues Soloing Move - House Pattern (Major) To Box 3 Pentatonic Minor To Pentatonic 6 Pattern
This video is one of my favorite "moves" around and through some of my favorite blues soloing scales and sounds.
If you've ever heard me talk about what I call the, "core position," for many blues players... this is it.
"Notice how, with minimal movement, I can go through 3 unique sounds easily and comfortably, with only minor adjustments getting from one scale to the next...
In my opinion, that should be your goal, not moving around the fretboard in large leaps and bounds."....Griff

"We finally have our new American Professional II Jazzmasters in the store and ready to showcase! As a huge fan of the Fender Jazzmaster, Cooper needed to get his hands on all of these to do a proper comparison-- with upgrades from the predecessor American Professional line including a beveled heel carve, V-Mod II pickups, the return of the "rhythm circuit" controls, and new finishing options, these guitars are up to the excellent standard we've seen from the American Pro II line. Take a listen as we compare the new and the old, as well as the big-brother American Ultra line, and discuss the benefits that each line presents."

Epiphone Pre-War SJ-200 Rosewood Reissue – Epiphone Inspired by Gibson
Dinesh demos the new Epiphone Pre-War SJ-200 Rosewood Reissue from the Epiphone Inspired By Gibson Custom collection – new for 2025!

▶ Shop the FULL Inspired by Gibson Custom Collection: https://bit.ly/45kZovB
Watch as Dinesh demos the new Epiphone Pre‑War SJ‑200 Rosewood Reissue acoustic guitar from the Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Custom collection, featuring a thermally aged solid spruce top, solid rosewood back, and a two‑piece maple neck with a rosewood stringer and round‑D profile, presented here in a Vintage Sunburst finish.
After the Gibson SJ-200 was introduced in 1937, it quickly earned the title “The King of the Flat-Tops” thanks to its majestic appearance, superior sound, and exceptional projection. The earliest models featured rosewood back and sides, later replaced by maple in 1947. Due to limited post-Depression demand, very few pre-war SJ-200s were made — making rosewood-bodied originals highly prized by today’s collectors.
Now, Epiphone and Gibson Custom have partnered to create the Epiphone Pre-War SJ-200 Rosewood Reissue, an Inspired by Gibson Custom recreation of this rare vintage icon. It features solid rosewood back and sides, a thermally aged solid spruce top with traditional scalloped X-bracing made from quarter-sawn spruce, and a two-piece maple neck with a rosewood stringer and Round D profile, attached via a glued-in dovetail joint.
The ebony fretboard features mother-of-pearl graduated Crown inlays and 20 standard frets. Additional vintage-style appointments include an SJ-200-style pickguard with traditional graphics and an ebony open two-bar Moustache™ bridge with mother-of-pearl inlays. The nut, saddle, and bridge pins are all bone.
The Gibson “open book” headstock features a vintage Epiphone logo and Gibson Crown in aged mother-of-pearl, along with a stinger and Inspired by Gibson Custom Double Diamond logo etched on the rear.
For modern stage and studio needs, it comes equipped with an L.R. Baggs™ Element Bronze VTC pickup and preamp, with soundhole-mounted controls — all housed in a Red Line-inspired hardshell case featuring Inspired by Gibson Custom graphics.
