The Big Three

      Every musician has a certain something that makes them unique. It starts with your brain and flows through your body to your instrument.  Whether its guitar, bass, drums, keyboard, sax or vocals. It doesn’t matter how technically proficient you are or are not.
     Now for guitarists, your tone truly is flowing through your brain’s thought process and to your fingers. You’ve heard it all before, BB King can hit one note and you know it’s him.  Same with all of the iconic players we love from Jimi, Eric (choose one Clapton or Johnson), Slash, Eddie, Beck, Brad Paisley, Joe B (not me Bonamassa).
     They all at one point or another have reached for the big three.  Which three guitars am I talking about?  The Tele, Strat & Les Paul.  These are the big three because they all have a certain tone any player can get if they know how to work them for all they’re worth!

    Each overall design from the start has had relatively small changes over the years. They are iconic. What is it about these guitars that have made it so difficult for most manufactures to improve upon? Which guitars would you consider to be the big three? 

    Let us know what you think of these three iconic models.  Check out other Fender Guitars at GoDpsMusic.com

Beautiful PRS Guitars from NAMM 2013

    So, who doesn’t dream, if only for a moment, that you could pick out any guitar or other gear from a catalog or store display and it was yours? I know I do and secretly you know you do too. This past week the incredibly focused and determined staff here at GoDpsMusic.com invaded the NAMM 2013 show with laser guided precision and marched through each brand until our mission was complete. It wasn’t always pretty and we may have lost some along the way, but we got the goods!

We paid a visit to our good friends at the Paul Reed Smith guitars booth and as you all know they make incredible works of art. The SE import lines of guitars are by far some of the best guitars out there for the $500.00-$700.00 street price tag. Most models are crafted using mahogany bodies with a maple cap and PRS designed pickups.  Take a peek at these beauties. To see other PRS Guitars click: GoDpsMusic.com
