TAYLOR 8-STRING BARITONETweet
Bob Taylor summed up the appeal of the 8-string like this: “The great thing about having those extra strings in the middle is that you can play on them, you can play around them, you can accentuate them, you can de-accentuate them, you can strum them, you can fingerstyle them. And it seems like anybody that plays guitar gets on that and says ‘Oh, I know how to use this! I know just what I want to do!’ When you play it, it sort of comes naturally, how to employ what it can do. And that’s why people are excited about it: because it offers something truly new.”

TASCAM DP-008 PORTASTUDIOTweet
The DP-008 really lives up to its name in a way that its tape-based predecessors couldn’t: it’s really portable (instead of relatively easily movable like my old 4-track), and it packs a lot of the features of an actual studio — and of course it records to CD quality, which is a lot better than recording song sketches onto your mobile phone.

PRS SE NICK CATANESETweet
This is obviously a metal guitar and it’s unlikely to win any fans in the jangilier corners of the music world, but that was always going to be a given. What you get for your metal funbucks is a kickass axe that will hang with you no matter how heavy you get.

NUMARK PHX USB HEADPHONESTweet
Put simply, these are a very well thought out design that offers even more flexibility to a relatively simple device. I couldn’t quite see the need for USB connectivity in a pair of headphones prior to this, but for modern electronic producers and DJs using laptops with their setups it can be quite handy.

The PRS SE ToreroTweet
The minimal/unpronounced heel smoothly blends into the body and the deeper, lower cutaway gives easier and smoother accessibility to the upper frets while the pick-ups provide power, clarity, and definition.
