At the summer NAMM in Nashville, Fender has presented two new Telecaster models that add an extra dimension to the famous Tele sound. Firstly, there's the Deluxe Thinlines that have the hollow sound chamber, and secondly, the Deluxe Nashvilles that have an extra single-coil pickup fitted in the mid position. As these are luxury versions, the word ‘Deluxe’ has been added to the series names.

With the same sense of legendary styling you'd normally find on a classic car, it's no surprise that Gretsch guitars have been extremely popular for a long time. Now, they are introducing the G6122T with a metallic Cadillac Green lacquer.

This summer, Fender is presenting no fewer than twelve new Stratocaster models! The new models include four Deluxe Strats, four Deluxe HSS Strats and four Deluxe Roadhouse Strats.

Right now, the Summer NAMM 2016 convention is happening in Nashville, Tennessee. While it's not as huge as the Winter NAMM in California or Messe in Frankfurt, it's a great place to find out what brands are up to. Take Dave Smith, for example. This experienced synthesizer specialist has just announced the launch of their new OB-6 module, which is the desktop version of the earlier-released OB-6. It's got the same possibilities and the same sound in a compact package!

At the summer NAMM in Nashville, Fender announced the Flea Signature Jazz Bass. This is a reissue of the '61 Jazz Bass in Nitrocellulose Shell Pink (probably the only one in the world!) owned by the Red Hot Chilli Peppers bassist Flea. This special model will be available in a limited number only and Bax Music will definitely be getting their hands on some!

The Squier Affinity Stratocaster is the most affordable Stratocaster in the Fender family. Apart from the standard models, Squier produces Factory Special Runs from time to time.

EVH isn't slowing down, even for the Summer holiday season! Luckily for us, because they've just released two new Wolfgang Special guitars in El Natural and Striped, along with a black and gold EL34 model of the famous 5150IIIS amp head, with a matching speaker cabinet.

The very first pedal by Boss turned the guitar world on its head by changing the way guitars sounded forever. This pedal has become the standard for how chorus effects should sound. In case you haven't guessed already, we're talking about Boss' legendary CE-1 Chorus pedal that got its familiar blue finish in later versions. Now, this pedal is back! In stereo! Forty years on, the Boss CE-2W with the same beautiful baby-blue colour and captivating chorus, can be seen as the rebirth of the CE-1.

Roland have captured the sound of jazz-blues-fusion guitarist Robben Ford in a new Tone Capsule for the Roland Blues Cube guitar amplifier. There's no need to take our word for it though, or even Roland's word for that matter. Robben Ford himself had the following to say: "I've been playing through tube amplifiers all my life. So how close we got to that sound, you know, to me is quite phenomenal. To think that Roland has come up with something that is as convincing as this is pretty impressive."
