A recent encounter with a re-fret opened up a whole new world with regard to the fretboard radius. We’ve all done it.  It’s a cool guitar with a bit of a story behind it that fills a gap in your stable of shred sticks.  So you pull the trigger.  Alright.  To be fair, some of us may purchase something like...

The Sledgehammer bridge humbucker pickup is another home run for Mojotone. It’s definitely one that I wish I’d tried a lot sooner! Why not? Well, I have to say that the official product description really threw me off. My guitar goals don’t really factor in a low end that is “big” and “round”, or a high end with “warmth”. That...

Seymour’s 59 Model Set (more recently known as the Vintage Blues Set) is one of his earlier humbuckers.  Right up there after the JB and the Jazz, yet prior to the Pearly Gates and the Custom. If you’ve known me any length of time, you’d know that I’ve not really been all about the 59 Model in the neck.  Sure,...

Looking at Buzz Cason’s material on Discogs or AllMusic.com and hearing his new Passion album one gets the sense that the music industry has an obligation to artists creating something as driving, catchy and meaningful as this essential release.  An obligation to get this music into as many ears as possible.  Perfectly sequenced, be it track 6, “Like a...

Whether we are toasting a friend's engagement, tossing one back at a party, or just relaxing at home with a drink at dinner or while watching TV, Americans rarely run out of excuses to partake in alcohol. With so many reasons to sip, chug, or shoot, it should come as no surprise that nearly 7 in 10 Americans aged...

Videogame Roundtable Episode 292: This Week and Last. So, thanks to an untimely computer breakdown, last week's episode could not be run in a timely manner. So, this double-length episode features an off-the-cuff discussion of videogames with no notes, with last week's episode tacked on. There's not much editing in the episode, due to the fact Jonah has to...

New Hampshire has seen a craft beer boom in the past decade. The landscape is dotted with microbreweries, craft beer stores and ale houses serving the finest New Hampshire has to offer.

Let me begin this beef manifesto by stating the obvious: I love steak. When you love something, you can either hide it or share it. I'm going to share it as much as I can. For the last week, I've been cutting and slinging meat like dope at work for 9 hours a day. Each night, I'd come home from work,...
