Modern Guitars columnist John Page continues his photo chronicle of the creation of a new piece of electric guitar functional art in The Story of 016, Part Two. Page, who co-founded the Fender Custom Shop and who has been a leading proponent of how and why the contemporary electric guitar can serve a dual role as both working instrument (functional) and the source of visual pleasure (art), has pursued a career in fine art after leaving Fender, creating a number of successful art gallery-level wood-based sculptures. After a hiatus from guitar building, Page re-entered the field in 2006 with his completely hand-built custom line, the P-1. The Story of 016 discusses how Page’s new twist on the P-1 incorporates his love of both finely built custom guitars and fine art. The client who commissioned the 016 asked Page if it could somehow serve as both a high-end guitar and a piece of art. “For me,” says Page, “this is the best of all worlds, mix my two great passions, guitars and visual art!” More »

Four instruments sit at the head table in the pantheon of solidbody electric guitars that defined and continue to define the sound of rock ‘n’ roll and related genres: the Fender Stratocaster; the Fender Telecaster; the Gibson Les Paul; and the Gibson SG. Saiichi Sugiyama, in his Modern Guitars column, Vintage, chronicles his relationship with the Gibson SG: “The SG Sound.” Says Sugiyama: “Someone told me that Carlos Santana played “Samba Pa Ti” on his early ’60s SG Special. The harmonics on my SG sounded, to my ears, not dissimilar despite the obvious P-90 colouring of that tone. Eric Clapton said, when we were doing the research for the Christie’s 2004 catalogue, that the March 1968 “Crossroads” on Wheels of Fire was played on his cherry-red 335 – but, to be honest, I am not convinced. To my ears, it sounds like a mahogany guitar – his Firebird or more likely the painted SG known as The Fool.”

Andrew Wasson of Creative Guitar Studio answers a viewers question…

Q: Could you do a lesson about two-Beat Country progressions and in it, discuss your rhythm technique, particularly the hybrid plucking approach and I’d like to know some of the fancy plucking like you did in that older Country guitar video where you covered Albert lee & Steve Travato styles. Thanks!
- Todd, Lubbock TX.

A: Two-beat country feel has to do with feeling the beat in Cut-Time. Cut-time is a division where the beat moves quite fast. In this meter we feel each measure in two instead of the more common meter of 4.

The complete lesson article for this video will be available on the Creative Guitar Studio website shortly. Follow me on Twitter for lesson posting announcements:

Taylor Guitars of El Cajon, California, has announced the introduction of limited edition models in celebration of its 35th anniversary. Founded in 1974 by Bob Taylor (who at the time had not yet turned 20), Kurt Listug and Steve Schemmer and originally named Westland Music Company, by the end of its inaugural year the company could boast three employees, the production of six instruments, and having overcome several hurdles, including its original facility.

“That place was so bad,” says Listug. “The roof leaked like crazy, and whenever it rained, the place flooded. It rained hard the night before we opened [October 15, 1974], so we spent the entire morning of our first day in business trying to get as much water out of there as we could.” Bob Taylor recalls the spirit of the company’s early days: “When it flooded, we’d take all the sawdust that we’d already swept up, and sprinkle it around the floor to soak up the water. It made the place even more of a pig sty. But it was fun. What did we know? We were just kids. Somehow, we’d skirted having to get real jobs. We didn’t have a boss, we were making guitars. What could be better?” More »
