Fender American Special and Standard Strat Review

It was 55 years ago that Leo Fender and his Fender Electric Instrument Manufacturing company brought to the market the groundbreaking Fender Stratocaster, the solid body, three-coil wonder that would help re-shape the course of popular music. Never content to rest on its laurels, Fender has continually looked for ways to improve upon the successful Strat formula.

Vox Virage SC Guitar Review

Guitarists are always on the lookout for high quality guitars that are built to rock, but are still comfortable to play. Very few of us like to lug around that 15 lb.
