The Australian shredder keeps things simple with signature PRS, Orange, and Gibson gear.

Australian guitarist Orianthi, known for her blistering solo work in addition to her collaborations with superstars like Carlos Santana, Alice Cooper, and Carrie Underwood, stopped through Nashville on her current tour. PG’s John Bohlinger joined Orianthi to get a look at her rig, and it turns out she doesn’t need too many tools to get the job done.

Brought to you by D’Addario.

Flower Power

Orianthi’s signature PRS, based on the Custom 24 and made of Brazilian rosewood, honors the color of her very first Hendrix t-shirt, finished in blooming lotus glow. It’s got custom pickups created by Paul Reed Smith himself, and it’s strung with Ernie Ball .009-gauge strings.

Cherry Bomb

This is Orianthi’s signature, cherry-finish Gibson SJ-200, which she helped create in Montana with her friends Rae Vinton and Robi Johns. They built it with a thinner, ES-345-style neck, and modded the pickup with L.R. Baggs over Zoom.

Orange-ianthi

Orianthi’s signature 50-watt Orange Oriverb was put together with the late designer Pat Foley, a close friend. The main trick is that it’s loaded with plenty of reverb, a taste Orianthi developed early on thanks to her father’s Fender Twins and Music Man amps.

Orianthi’s Pedalboard

Orianthi’s playing does most of the heavy lifting, but this humble board contributes some muscle. There’s a Dunlop Cry Baby EVH wah, Dunlop Authentic Hendrix ’68 Shrine Series Octavio, Dunlop Authentic Hendrix ’68 Shrine Series Uni-Vibe, MXR Analog Chorus, Boss BF-2, Boss DD-3, and a Boss TU-3.

Phish’s Trey Anastasio is back again on this week’s extra-special episode of Wong Notes. The expansive conversation goes from the mundane to the massive: Trey shares the meaningful gift he bought himself for his 60th birthday, reflects on his most meaningful song, dissects boredom and nostalgia in the streaming era, and names the young bands impressing him most these days.

Then, Trey and Cory dig deep into the songwriting process, and Trey reflects on how his songwriting has (and hasn’t) changed over his length career: “Maybe it’s some kind of human nature, that you’re kind of fighting against who you actually, really are,” he offers. He then opens up the files and plays a few unreleased (and vintage) demos! At this stage in his career, what is Trey Anastasio hoping to accomplish, and has his approach to making music changed? Tune in to find out.

When picking a guitar, what matters most to you? It could be electronics, tonewood, or even weight. For Halestorm’s Lzzy Hale, shape is also important, and the pointy lightning bolt zig-zag of the Gibson Explorer makes it her go-to guitar.

Hale is the first female ambassador for Gibson, and has an affinity for pointy, rock ‘n’ roll shapes. She also has a very sharp looking signature Voyager model with Kramer – part of the Gibson family of brands – which is covered in a Black Diamond Holographic Sparkle finish that dances under stage lighting.

In a new video interview with Guitar World off the back of Halestorm’s appearance at Black Sabbath’s final show and following their album launch for Everest, Hale explains why she loves her trusty and worn-in Explorer so much.

“My guitar here is my first signature model that we ended up doing back in 2011/2012. And [it has a] mahogany body, mahogany neck, rosewood fretboard. It used to be Alpine white; I don’t smoke, but it’s definitely got that cigarette yellow thing going on. All of the dark grey is just from all the leather over the years. It’s been loved to death,” she says.

“Originally I was a Les Paul girl and then I fell in love with the Explorer shape while we were making our first album out in California. I ended up getting my first Explorer off of Craigslist. This poor guy, he had to sell it because of medical bills. I went to go see him and he was so incredibly excited that it was gonna actually get played and go out on the road.

“What I love about the Explorer shape is that it doesn’t matter whether you’re front row or in the nosebleed section [at a show]. You see that shape and it’s undeniable. It’s like, ‘okay, this isn’t going to be country, this probably isn’t going to be pop. This has to be rock.’”

Fellow Halestorm guitarist Joe Hottinger adds: “There’s three great shapes for hard rock and heavy metal: it’s the V, the Explorer, and the SG.”

Watch the interview below:

Halestorm’s sixth studio album Everest is out now. The band are currently touring across Europe – you can get tickets via the Halestorm website.

Gibson is proud to announce the launch of two legendary models returning to the spotlight: the Les Paul™ Junior Double Cut, available worldwide at Gibson Garage locations in Nashville and London, and on Gibson.com, and the Les Paul™ Special Double Cut, available in the USA exclusively at Guitar Center and through authorized dealers across the rest of the world. These iconic instruments, each with its own rich history and enduring influence, embody Gibson’s commitment to craftsmanship, tone, and playability. With the Junior celebrated for its stripped‑down simplicity and surprising versatility, and the Special revered for its expanded tonal range and double‑cutaway design, both guitars continue to shape sound across generations and genres of music.

Gibson Les Paul Junior Double Cut (L-R) in Ebony, TV Yellow and Vintage Cherry.

The Les Paul™ Junior Double Cut is a guitar known for being nearly perfect in its simplicity, with everything you need to rock and no frills to get in your way. However, some players underestimate this legendary guitar’s versatility. While this single-pickup solidbody electric guitar was designed initially as a student model, the number of different tones that are available simply by adjusting the position of the volume and tone knobs and the position of your picking hand is nearly unlimited. It has resulted in the enthusiastic embrace of the model by countless professional musicians across genres and generations. The Les Paul Junior Double Cut’s double cutaway body also offers unimpeded access to the entire length of the fretboard, including the upper frets, making it an excellent choice for lead guitarists, too.

The Les Paul Junior Double Cut features a slab, double-cutaway mahogany body, a mahogany neck with a fast-playing SlimTaper™ profile that is topped with a rosewood fretboard with 22 medium jumbo frets and adorned with simple acrylic dot inlays. The wraparound bridge bolts straight into the body for exceptional sustain, while the Graph Tech® nut and Vintage Deluxe tuners with white buttons ensure rock-solid tuning stability. The single Dogear P-90 pickup in the bridge position is renowned for its ability to go from sweet and clean to aggressive and dirty with a twist of the master volume control. A single tone control with an Orange Drop® capacitor provides further tonal flexibility.

Discover the perfect simplicity and surprising versatility of the Les Paul Junior Double Cut today and experience the fun and tonal magic of this legendary guitar. A Gibson hardshell guitar case is also included to help keep your investment safe and secure when you’re not playing it and when you’re traveling to your next gig, whether that’s your first gig at a local club or the next stop on your latest world tour.

The Gibson Les Paul™ Special was first introduced in 1955 as an upgraded version of the Les Paul Junior, a somewhat stripped-down yet high-quality solidbody electric guitar initially intended as a student model and first released the previous year, in 1954. Like those early Juniors, the Les Paul Special originally featured a slab, single-cutaway mahogany body. The Les Paul Special also added a second pickup and additional controls for it, along with a pickup selector switch, binding for the fretboard, and a fancier mother-of-pearl headstock logo. While a bit more ornate and feature-rich, it retained the Les Paul Junior’s simple wraparound bridge and tailpiece and no-nonsense attitude while expanding its wide tonal range even further. It was quickly embraced not only by students but also by numerous professional musicians. In 1958, the Les Paul Special transitioned to a double-cutaway body, offering improved access to the upper frets. The model really hit its stride in 1960 when Gibson repositioned the neck pickup slightly further from the neck, allowing for a more stable neck-to-body joint, and a new SlimTaper™ neck profile made it faster and easier to play than ever before.

Now, Gibson is proud to bring the Les Paul Special Double Cut back to the core Gibson product lineup. It returns to the classic design that made it relevant, played, and loved—shaping sound across generations and genres of music. It features a double-cutaway mahogany body with exceptional balance when worn on a strap and easy access to the entire length of the fretboard. The mahogany neck features a comfortable SlimTaper profile and is capped with a bound rosewood fretboard, adorned with acrylic dot inlays, and outfitted with 22 medium jumbo frets. You’ll find smooth turning and precise Gibson Vintage Deluxe tuners with white buttons on the headstock, which also includes the Gibson logo inlaid in mother-of-pearl. The tuners, along with the Graph Tech® nut, ensure solid tuning stability. The other ends of the strings pass over and anchor to a simple wraparound bridge/tailpiece that is fitted with two intonation adjustment screws and bolted directly into the mahogany body, contributing to the excellent tone and sustain that the Les Paul Special Double Cut is famous for.

A pair of Gibson’s acclaimed P-90 Soapbar pickups, each hand-wired to individual volume and tone controls, power the Les Paul Special Double Cut. The tone circuits use high-quality Orange Drop® capacitors. The Les Paul Special Double Cut is available in three classic colors—Ebony, Vintage Cherry, and TV Yellow. A hardshell case is also included to help keep it safe when you’re on your way to your next gig. Isn’t it time you played something Special? Here it is. Order one today and see for yourself why so many people sing the praises of this legendary guitar.

Taylor Guitars, the leading global builder of premium acoustic guitars, today announces two new special edition acoustic guitars developed in partnership with Guitars 4 Vets (G4V), a nonprofit organization that helps U.S. veterans affected by PTSD and other service-related trauma to heal through the power of music.

Koch Jupiter 45 combo

The Koch Jupiter is a 45 Watt boutique, vintage style combo amp, that is equally at home in live, recording or rehearsal sessions. This unique tone classic features independent volume and gain controls for both the Clean (Cool) and overdrive (Hot) channels. The overdrive (hot) features a Boost which gives the Jupiter three channels.

The Koch Jupiter combo comes with a two button footswitch with another unique feature. The left button switches between the Cool and Hot Channel, and the right button can be set to turn either the Channel 2 Boost on/off, or the Reverb on/off, allowing you full control over your sound…right at your feet!

Further features of the Jupiter include the Dimmer Control which acts as an attenuator to allow you real tube saturated tube tone at any volume, front mounted Reverb control, 4/8/16 Ohm Speaker Outputs and Speaker Emulated Direct Output with Passive Filtering. Finally, there is a buffered effects loop to allow the addition of your favorite pedals or effects units.

The Jupiter was designed as a player’s amp, with as much tonal control and flexibility as possible in a compact, lightweight combo. From the bell-like clean tones to the punchy, yet dynamic overdrive channels, the Jupiter delivers pure vintage tone.

Jack White’s Third Man Hardware has teamed up with JHS Pedals on a new delay pedal, the Troika. It’s not just a guitar pedal, though – it’s also designed to work with “microphones or any instrument you want to use”.

Designed for both desktop use and in professional recording studios – as well as on stage, the Troika is described as a “horse-powered” instrument and microphone delay product “unlike anything else on the market”.

• READ MORE: Eventide Third Man Hardware Knife Drop review – “This Jack White pedal is outrageously great fun”

Available in a standard black colourway and a yellow version exclusive to Reverb, it’s equipped with both XLR and ¼” inputs and outputs. It utilises a hi-grade Lundahl transformer on the mic input, as well as a secondary output transformer, enabling it to work well with other effects.

It’s also been handily designed with sliders so it looks like a mini mixing console, which White opted for to give him greater real-time control of the unit in a live setting. The bypass switch is found above the sliders to keep it out of the way.

“The Troika Delay comes to you from the thundering minds of JHS Pedals and Third Man Hardware like a chariot over the Russian tundra. This is a multi-purpose, studio-grade delay device like you’ve never seen before,” says a message on the Third Man Records website.

“Jack White loves using delay pedals on his voice, but the process can cause lots of problems, including noise, volume drops, and loss of clarity. When Jack brought this idea to Josh, we immediately gave it the same care and attention we gave to the Colour Box and the Pulp N Peel [from JHS]. The Troika is more than a pedal… If you want to use a delay that’s different from everything else on the market, look no further!”

Hear it in action and find out more below:

Both versions of the Troika delay are available now. The standard black version is priced at $349, while the limited-edition yellow comes in at $369.

Shop the standard version of the Troika via Third Man Records, or head over to Reverb to bag the exclusive yellow colour. You can also find out more about JHS Pedals.

As his company’s 50th anniversary approaches, Hoover is still refining his craft and pushing the guitar in both subtle and profound ways.

As guitarist in The Smiths and co-songwriter alongside frontman Morrissey, Johnny Marr lays claim to some of the greatest guitar riffs to come out of English rock music – just listen to This Charming Man and How Soon Is Now? for a taste of his guitar genius.

And in a new interview with MOJO, Marr’s Smiths bandmate, drummer Mike Joyce, reflects on the guitarist’s hot streak of writing killer guitar riffs throughout the band’s five-year tenure between 1982 and 1987.

• READ MORE: Marshall partners with Spinal Tap on the “loudest amp ever made” – with knobs that go to 11 and a master volume that goes to infinity

“Just watching the way that his fingers were moving on the fretboard. The chords were so incredible and so strange,” Joyce remembers. 

“The top end, the picking, it sounded like there was a bass line incorporated within it. It was magical but it looked so natural to him.

“You think of incredible riffs, like Layla, that are just part of music history. Johnny was doing that three times a day for four years. [Rough Trade label owner] Geoff Travis actually said: ‘Stop writing A-sides! Throw in a bit of filler!’

Johnny Marr has long been synonymous with the Fender Jaguar, and just yesterday launched his latest signature model based on his prized 1965 Jaguar.

Spec highlights include an enhanced neck profile inspired by Marr’s own original 1965 Jaguar, a Jaguar bridge with Mustang saddles and a vintage-style floating trem, and custom-wound Johnny Marr-designed single-coil Lipstick pickups in the bridge, middle and neck positions. The guitar also sports a custom gloss nitrocellulose black lacquer finish and 22-fret fingerboard with ivory dot inlays.

“The Jaguar has been central to my sound and style for nearly 15 years,” Marr said. “With this new model, I wanted to create an instrument that feels classic but also pushes players to explore new tones and possibilities.”

“Johnny Marr’s legacy as one of the most inventive guitarists of the last four decades is undeniable,” added Max Gutnik, Chief Product Officer at Fender.

Jacob Collier‘s playing style is anything but conventional, so it should come as no surprise that he champions unconventional instruments. The multi-instrumentalist and all-round music whizz has played five-string guitars for some time now, and even released a number of signatures, including headless models with Strandberg, and a signature five-string with Taylor last year.

Now, Collier’s five-string repertoire is expanding, with the addition of two new acoustics in collaboration with Taylor.

• READ MORE: “Exploring the guitar more fully than ever before”: Jacob Collier’s forthcoming album is all about the acoustic guitar

Collier’s new Academy 22e and GS Mini acoustic guitars are just as unique as the star himself. Binning off a sixth string, the guitars are tuned to Collier’s preferred DAEAD set up – and the result is a pair of guitars straight from his “dreams”.

“I dreamed of this guitar tuning for many, many years before it existed,” he explains. “I asked Taylor, ‘how would you feel about putting five-strings on a six-string neck, tuned in a very strange way, with exactly the same range as a normal guitar, but with a different set of intervals?’ They said yes, which changed my whole life.”

In a 2024 interview with Guitar.com, Collier explained his love of a five-string over a six-string. “Back in 2016, I figured out a way for guitar to make sense to me – it was by ripping one of the strings off a six-string guitar and leaving only five,” he recalled. “And I tuned it in a very unusual way. I did this for the first time on the day of a gig, and then I played it on the gig, which was a very funny experience.”

View this post on Instagram

“I sat there and found this language in front of all these people,” he continued. “It felt like they were holding me to it. It was like, ‘Okay, Jacob. If you’re going to do that, do it right.’ But it was actually an amazing experience.”

The Academy 22e boasts a walnut Grand Concert body, as well as a comfortable bevelled armrest to take off some pressure. The bridge and fretboard adopt a smoked eucalyptus bridge and fretboard, and it comes with Academy Series bracing and Fishman Presys VT electronics. This one serves as the pricier of the pair, sitting at £1,099.

On the flip side, the GS Mini boasts a more colourful design. It feels like the essence of Collier is trapped within the spruce top, with its vibrant, geometric rosette. This model boasts a mahogany and West African ebony neck and fretboard, with no electronics for a truly natural sound and a lower price point of £749. Each guitar comes fitted with a custom Jacob Collier label.

Of course, both models sit at a far more accessible price than Collier’s original Taylor Signature, which costs £2,799.

“Each guitar is so distinct in [its] own right,” Collier notes in a press release. “For them to be accessible to more people, while maintaining the same spirit that inspired the original designs, is a wonder. I’m so looking forward to more folks having the opportunity to discover this 5-string world and make their own magic with it.”

The introduction of these new Jacob Collier 5-strings is also notable in that they now make up what’s a pretty small signature guitar lineup from Taylor, only with other models from Taylor Swift and Jason Mraz.

When choosing a looper, your first decision is how complicated you want it to be. Fancy something ultra-simple that you can operate with one foot? Get the original TC Electronic Ditto, a modern classic that has one knob and doesn’t even need that. Feeling more ambitious? That’s where your options get interesting… and where the Walrus Audio Xero Polylooper comes in.

• READ MORE: TC Electronic Ditto 2 review: “The most easy to use looper on the market just got even better”

Walrus has thrown itself into the looping market with a device that offers three minutes of recording time and goes big on bonus features – including two separate recording channels with stereo panning, double/half speed and reverse modes, MIDI control (including clock sync) and more. On paper at least, this is a super-looper.

Image: Press

Walrus Audio Xero Polylooper – is it easy to use?

Here’s the basic principle of operation: hit the left footswitch once to start recording, then again to define the end of the loop, then again to overdub; hold the same switch to delete the last layer, then again to delete the whole loop. If you can’t get your head around that, you’re probably a bassist.

Pressing both footswitches moves you to the other channel, and each has a slider for level and a knob for panning. So far, so approachable… and if you want to change the speed (and octave) or go into reverse mode, you just have to tap the relevant button then hold the right footswitch.

It’s only when you start building up loops and effects on both channels that things can start to get confusing, so Walrus has added colour-coded LEDs to help you keep track. How useful that is will depend on how quickly you can learn the meanings of seven different colours. Regardless, it’s probably a good idea to start slowly and get the hang of one channel before you double up the potential for disorientation.

Image: Press

Walrus Audio Xero Polylooper – what does it sound like?

Each channel has an extra 3dB available above unity gain to provide some wiggle room as you layer up your loops, and I certainly have nothing negative to say about the audio quality. Unfortunately, that doesn’t mean the Xero is a good looper – not in its current state anyway.

The main problem is that all-important transition at the end of each cycle, where a short crossfade is required to prevent waveforms being chopped off abruptly. Good-quality loopers – even cheap ones like the Ditto – do not have a problem with this. The Xero does. All of my loops had an audible dip or bump, which showed up on recorded waveforms as a gap of around 3 milliseconds.

Clearly that’s some kind of mistake, but the other issue I have with this pedal is apparently a deliberate design choice: when you’re overdubbing, the recording automatically stops after one cycle. Feeling inspired and want to lay down a bunch of quick harmonies? The Xero will only let you do one at a time, followed by a thumb-twiddling cycle of listening back before you can move on to the next. It’s a real inspiration-strangler, and there’s no option to change it.

The other features work fine – messing around with sped-up and reversed loops on two separate channels is a lot of fun – but when the fundamentals are this flawed, all that hardly seems to matter.

Image: Press

Walrus Audio Xero Polylooper – should I buy it?

Right now, no, you probably shouldn’t – but here’s the good news: as far as I can see, there’s nothing going on here that a good firmware update couldn’t fix. So let’s hope Walrus is willing to take its problematic progeny back home and turn it into the all-powerful stereo looping machine that it surely has the potential to be. If that happens, I’ll be sure to update this review.

Walrus Audio Xero Polylooper alternatives

I reviewed the Pigtronix Infinity 2 ($199/£179) back in 2020, and it did most of what the Xero does without any issues. See also the stereo TC Electronic Ditto X2 (€111/£98), or really go for it with the Boss RC-600 Loop Station ($660/£499), which is feature-packed but still fairly easy to use.

Bad Cat Amplifiers has released a pair of dual-overdrive pedals: the Burmese Drive and Siamese Drive are both hand-crafted in Southern California and feature two independent, identical overdrive circuits.

Merging vintage soul with modern versatility, the Burmese Drive is rooted in the legendary BB-style overdrive circuit and takes that classic transparent grit and injects it with Bad Cat’s unmistakable growl and harmonic depth. Each channel features its own Gain, Tone, and Output controls, plus a Bright/Warm toggle to tailor the feel and response for rhythm or lead tones. Players can run the channels separately or stack them for lush, saturated drive and increased harmonic complexity.

“We wanted to build a pedal that’s more than just another drive box—it’s two musical personalities that can be subtle, gritty, or feral depending on how you stack them,” said John Thompson, Owner of Bad Cat Amplifiers. “The Burmese Drive gives players that old-school warmth and openness with the precision and build quality we’re known for.”

Housed in a rugged black sparkle powder-coated chassis with custom Bad Cat tiger print graphics, the Burmese Drive delivers transparent response, articulate gain structure, and wide tonal sweep, making it equally at home pushing a clean amp, shaping rhythm tones, or stacking into lead saturation.

Burmese Drive features include:

• Dual overdrive circuits in one enclosure
• Based on the iconic BB-style circuit
• Independent Gain, Tone, Output, and Bright/Warm controls per channel
• True bypass operation
• 9V–12V DC center-negative power

The Siamese Drive brings the legendary tone and feel of the K-style circuit into a flexible format. Designed for players who demand musical precision, touch sensitivity, and harmonic complexity, the Siamese Drive delivers pure inspiration—times two.

At its heart, the Siamese Drive captures the unmistakable mid-forward punch, clarity, and bloom that made the original K-style circuit a modern classic. Each channel features its own Gain, Tone, and Output controls, allowing players to dial in rhythm and lead tones independently or stack both channels for rich, cascading overdrive textures. The result is tone that feels alive under your fingers—organic, articulate, and deeply responsive.

“The Siamese Drive is all about control and connection,” said John Thompson, Owner of Bad Cat Amplifiers. “We took one of the most musically revered overdrive circuits ever made and expanded it into a dual-channel format that gives players the freedom to blend, shape, and stack their sound in entirely new ways.”

The Siamese Drive is housed in a durable pearl white powder-coated enclosure with royal blue silk-screened graphics and Bad Cat’s signature tiger print design. Each pedal is designed to deliver tour-grade reliability, musical transparency, and a tactile feel that responds to every nuance of the player’s technique.

Key Siamese Drive features include:

• Dual K-style overdrive circuits
• Independent Gain, Tone, and Output per channel
• Stackable or standalone operation
• True bypass switching
• 9V–12V DC center-negative power

The Bad Cat Burmese Drive and Siamese Drive each carry a $269.99 street price and are available now through authorized Bad Cat dealers and at www.badcatamps.com.

PG contributor ‪@TomButwin‬ dives into the latest evolution of the green-box legacy: the TWA Source Code SC‑01 Overdrive. Designed by the legendary Susumu Tamura (yes—the original mind behind the TS808), this pedal combines vintage tone and handmade USA craftsmanship with serious modern enhancements: internal 18v voltage-boosting circuitry for extra headroom, a multi-transistor input buffer to preserve your guitar’s core tone, and a unique “Bite” control for dialing in even-order harmonics and amp-style saturation.

Ace Frehley’s cause of death has been revealed as blunt trauma injuries to his head sustained following a fall.

According to a report obtained by TMZ [via Blabbermouth], a CT scan of Frehley’s head revealed “multiple contusions, bone fractures to the back of his skull, haemorrhages and a subdural hematoma”, all linked to head trauma suffered during the guitarist’s fall. The report also indicated bruises were found on Frehley’s hip, thigh and abdomen, and that he had suffered a stroke.

According to TMZ, the 74-year-old musician spent nearly two weeks in hospital following the fall, and was placed on life support following a brain bleed.

Last month, Frehley’s longtime manager John Ostrosky told the New York Post that the musician had been laid to rest at Woodlawn Cemetery in Bronx, New York on 22 October, following a private memorial on 21 October at Sinatra Memorial Home in Yonkers.

Frehley’s death last month prompted an outpouring of tributes from the guitar community, from the likes of Tom Morello, Nuno Bettencourt, Opeth, John 5, Rush’s Alex Lifeson and Geddy Lee and many others.

“We are devastated by the passing of Ace Frehley,” Kiss wrote in their own post. “He was an essential and irreplaceable rock soldier during some of the most formative foundational chapters of the band and its history. He is and will always be a part of Kiss’s legacy. Our thoughts are with Jeanette, Monique and all those who loved him, including our fans around the world.”

Ace Frehley was a founding member of Kiss in 1973 alongside Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons and Peter Criss. He left the band nearly 10 years later to pursue a solo career, amid rising tensions within the band over creative direction. Frehley later rejoined the band from 1996 until 2002.

During his tenure with the band, Frehley – affectionately known as the Spaceman – helped write hits including I Was Made For Lovin’ You, Rock and Roll All Nite, Love Gun and Detroit Rock City.

Taylor Guitars, the leading global builder of premium acoustic guitars, today announces the expansion of its collaboration with Jacob Collier with two new 5-string models designed to make the acclaimed artist's innovative DAEAD tuning accessible to a broader range of players.

Following the success of the October 2024 launch of the Jacob Collier Signature Model 5-String, featuring a Grand Concert body crafted with solid, Select-grade Hawaiian koa, Taylor is now introducing the Jacob Collier Academy 22e 5-String and the Jacob Collier GS Mini 5-String. Both new models feature Jacob's preferred DAEAD tuning along with fresh aesthetics and are designed within Taylor's Academy Series and GS Mini frameworks, giving players more accessibly priced options to explore Collier's unique musical approach.

The unveiling of these new models follows the October 10 release of Collier's critically acclaimed album, The Light For Days, which recently earned him his 16th GRAMMY® nomination in the Best Arrangement, Instruments & Vocals category for his reimagining of the Beach Boys classic “Keep An Eye On Summer” — fittingly arranged for his bespoke 5-string guitars.

"These new 5-string models are a total dream come true for me," says Jacob. "Each is so distinct in their own right. For them to be accessible to more people, while maintaining the same spirit that inspired the original designs, is a wonder. I'm so looking forward to more folks having the opportunity to discover this 5-string world and make their own magic with it."

The collaboration began when Collier approached Taylor about creating a custom 5-string acoustic guitar featuring his preferred DAEAD tuning — where the lower strings are tuned by fourths while the higher strings are tuned by fifths. That custom instrument, built by Andy Powers, Taylor's Chief Guitar Designer, President and CEO, became a staple of Collier's performances. The tuning makes common chord shapes easier for beginners to form with their fingers, while for experienced players, it unlocks a new tonal landscape ripe for musical exploration.

JACOB COLLIER ACADEMY 22E 5-STRING

Great for new and experienced players alike, Taylor's Academy Series guitars deliver rich acoustic tone and an accessible, comfort-enhanced playing experience. The Jacob Collier Academy 22e 5-String features a solid walnut top paired with layered walnut back and sides in a Grand Concert body, producing crisp highs, a warm midrange and satisfying low-end depth.

A built-in walnut beveled armrest softens the contact point on the strumming arm, reducing pressure and allowing for more fluid motion. Incorporating visual details selected for the original Jacob Collier model, this guitar features a smoked eucalyptus fretboard and bridge. The model includes a slender, easy-playing Taylor neck, matte-finish body, understated 4mm Dot fretboard inlays, standard chrome tuners, and Fishman Presys VT electronics.

Key Specifications:

• Back/Side Wood: Layered Walnut
• Top Wood: Solid Walnut
• Neck: Mahogany or Maple
• Fretboard: Smoked Eucalyptus
• Nut Width: 1-11/16"
• Scale Length: 24-7/8"
• Bracing: Academy Series Bracing
• Electronics: Fishman Presys VT

JACOB COLLIER GS MINI 5-STRING

Inspired by the GS Mini's bold voice, fun-size proportions and up-for-anything personality, Jacob put his signature aesthetic spin on Taylor's popular compact model. Jacob worked with Taylor designers to create a custom asymmetric rosette design marked by vibrant colors and geometric abstraction — a visual flourish that makes this guitar pop on any wall.

The guitar features a torrefied Sitka spruce top paired with layered sapele back and sides, producing a clear, balanced acoustic voice with played-in character. Perfect for travel, writing sessions, and intimate performances, the GS Mini 5-String maintains the tonal clarity essential to Collier's musical approach in a portable format. Known for creating music everywhere from green rooms to hotel rooms during his extensive touring schedule, Collier collaborated closely on this model to ensure it could capture musical ideas anywhere inspiration strikes.

Key Specifications:

• Back/Side Wood: Layered Sapele
• Top Wood: Torrefied Sitka Spruce
• Neck: Mahogany
• Fretboard: West African Ebony
• Nut Width: 1-11/16"
• Scale Length: 23-1/2"
• Bracing: X Bracing

JACOB COLLIER SIGNATURE MODEL 5-STRING [ORIGINAL MODEL]

Jacob Collier's original 5-string signature Taylor guitar is a Taylor Grand Concert body style featuring a natural, wood-centric aesthetic with richly variegated Select-grade koa and marbled West African ebony, giving each instrument a unique visual personality. Signature details include a customized Hawaiian koa truss rod cover with Jacob's laser-etched logo, a custom interior label, a branded guitar strap, antique chrome Gotoh 510 tuners, and onboard LR Baggs Element VTC electronics with soundhole-mounted controls, all shipping in a Taylor AeroCase.

Key Specifications:

• Top, Back & Sides: Solid, Select-grade Hawaiian Koa
• Neck: Mahogany
• Fretboard & Bridge: West African Ebony
• Nut Width: 1-11/16" (4.28 cm)

"Jacob is so gifted — a one-of-a-kind musician," says Andy Powers. "After hearing him write and perform music on these instruments since their creation, we're excited to expand this collaboration with models that make the acoustic guitar accessible for entry-level players while offering an inspiring new sonic palette for experienced players to explore."

“These go to 11.” Some of the most immortal words uttered in rock music’s history. So iconic even, that they’ve inspired a new amp from Marshall to celebrate the recent release of Spinal Tap II.

Billed as the “loudest amp ever made” – we would hope so – the Spinal Tap JVM410H Limited Edition is built on the DNA of the 100-watt JVM410H, with a few tweaks celebrating the sequel to the cult rockumentary film.

• READ MORE: AFI guitarist ditched tube amps because they made him feel “constrained” sonically – does he have a point?

Those classic words appeared in the original This Is Spinal Tap movie, when Nigel Tufnel – portrayed by Christopher Guest – shows Rob Reiner his modded Marshall, on which all its knobs go to 11, rather than the conventional 10.

Truth be told, guitarists have been trying to get more than the 10 units of volume available to them for decades (let’s not talk about how it’s relative). So now, with the launch of the Marshall Spinal Tap JVM410H Limited Edition, that myth finally becomes a reality.

“Marshall has always been part of Spinal Tap’s DNA, quite literally,” says Hugh Gilmartin, Artist Relations & Marketing Manager at Marshall.

“It’s poetic to finllay make the amp that fans have talked about for forty years. It’s a celebration of sound, satire and everything that makes rock both ridiculous and great.”

Only 20 of these amps exist worldwide – with 11 being sold exclusively via the Sweetwater Gear Exchange. Pricing hasn’t been announced quite yet, but we do know that all profits will be donated to charities chosen by Spinal Tap.

At its core, the amp is a JVM410H, but this limited-edition version has a number of visual tweaks, including custom panel artwork, renamed channels, all knobs going to 11, and a master volume knob which goes beyond, to infinity, specifically. There’s also a bold Spinal Tap logo on the back.

You might remember when Nigel Tufnel spoke about this amp back in September, marvelling at the fact its master volume knob goes not just to 11, but all the way to infinity.

“Marshall has made for me an amplifier, the head, and if you look at the dials, it now goes to Infinity. Just think about that for a moment. Think about infinity – oh, my God, that’s literally infinity,” he said.

“There’s a beautiful madness in this project,” continues Hugh Gilmartin. “It’s not about nostalgia, it’s about honouring a moment that defined how we all see rock, volume and humour.”

You can learn more at Marshall. Spinal Tap II is out now.

Fender has partnered with The Smiths legend Johnny Marr on a new signature Jaguar model.

Built on the classic Jaguar blueprint but with a number of modern appointments and Marr-chosen specs, the Johnny Marr Signature Special Jaguar is the latest in a line of signature model collaborations between the Smiths man and the Big F.

“The Jaguar has been central to my sound and style for nearly 15 years,” says Johnny Marr. “With this new model, I wanted to create an instrument that feels classic but also pushes players to explore new tones and possibilities.

“Fender has once again brought that vision to life in a way that I didn’t think could be possible until now. From my work with The Cribs playing gritty in your face indie, to the cinematic soundscapes I crafted with Hans Zimmer, the Jaguar has been an incredible asset in helping me expand my sound, no matter the genre or the occasion.”

Key specs include an enhanced neck profile inspired by Marr’s own original 1965 Jaguar, a Jaguar bridge with Mustang saddles and a vintage-style floating trem, and custom-wound, Johnny Marr-designed single-coil Lipstick pickups in the bridge, middle and neck positions. There’s also a custom gloss nitrocellulose black lacquer finish and 22-fret fingerboard with ivory dot inlays.

These are controlled by an all-new pickup selection system: a unique four-position blade switching system, as well as three slide-switch options for “maximum tonal versatility”.

“Johnny Marr’s legacy as one of the most inventive guitarists of the last four decades is undeniable,” says Max Gutnik, Chief Product Officer at Fender. “His distinctive style and tone has inspired generations of players over the years. The new Signature Special Jaguar is a versatile, performance-ready twist on his classic instrument that delivers a captivating tone with great feel. We’re thrilled to share it with guitarists everywhere.”

The new Johnny Marr Signature Special Jaguar follows in the footsteps of his first signature Fender Jaguar in 2012, which was designed by the Fender Custom Shop to reflect his personal modded 1965 Jaguar model.

The Johnny Marr Signature Special Jaguar is available now, priced at $2,999/£2,949.

What with all the dynamic ticket pricing drama, many were sceptical as to whether Oasis’ reunion shows would deliver enough bang for your buck. However, if you ask Jon Bon Jovi, the tour was worth every penny.

Speaking to Virgin Radio UK, Bon Jovi praises the Gallagher brothers for delivering a tour packed with true, bona fide “rock ‘n’ roll” for the masses. Specifically, Oasis haven’t forgotten what matters most: killer guitar tone. “I’m telling you, the guitar tones alone were worth the price of admission!” he insists.

Bon Jovi notes that he enjoyed the show “immensely,” claiming that it was a reminder of rock’s heyday. “I needed to go and smell a rock ‘n’ roll band, you know?” he says. “I needed to be out there and see what a rock band looked like on a stage again.”

• READ MORE: “I had no idea what the guitar was intended to be used for”: The inside story on Noel Gallagher’s Oasis reunion Les Paul

The star notes that the show will undoubtedly stir up more hunger for old school rock bands – the kind that don’t rely on stage production, solely letting their music do the talking. “People really want a rock band again!” he said. “No dancers, no tricks, no loops, no recorded stuff. They wanted to hear a rock band!”

“The audiences ate it up,” he added. “They loved it… this was a much bigger venue than they’ve ever played in America. [It was also the] first time I’ve seen them live, and they were really good.”

This isn’t the first time Bon Jovi has voiced his appreciation of Oasis’ recent tour. At a recent press conference announcing his first world tour since having vocal surgery, the singer reflected on how Oasis’ reunion has reignited excitement around rock ‘n’ roll.

“I think post-Covid people wanted that kind of experiential thing,” he explained back in September [via The London Standard]. “They wanted to get together again and feel that joy. So [Oasis’ show felt] bigger than ever.”

“There was a time, 10, 12 years ago that I used to hear people say, ‘rock is dead’,” he continues. “I think rock is alive and well again, so the promise of what Oasis brought is going to give a lot of young rock bands an opportunity to shine again.”

Bon Jovi is set to embark on his Forever Tour with his band next year, and it will their first tour in eight years. The tour will kick off next July at Madison Square Garden, running up til September with a triumphant finale at London’s Wembley Stadium.

For more information on Bon Jovi’s tour, head to his website.
