Every Rose Has it's Thorn

I did another show with this camp Friday night at Medina Ballroom & of course seized the opportunity to snap some back stage shots of a few guitars from the Minneapolis based HAIRBALL show. Guitar tech John Lockner seen here holding a Samick Blackbird solid body acoustic, played by Bobby Jensen as part of their POISON tribute. The Blackbird is a perfect choice when you need great tone & playability along with maximum feedback suppression while delivering over 50,000 watts of clean acoustic love.

Iguana Burst

I hijacked this photo from Cory Lake's American Guitar & Band FACEBOOK page. This new Gibson has been affectionately referred to as the Iguana-burst; Doves in Flight. Shipped out last week to a proud new owner of a one-of-a-kind.You gotta love the green Dove, It's 99.4% pure.

Bedell

I caught this guy performing a show with Jana Anderson last weekend, & then ran into him again on Monday at Mr Marks Music in Anoka. Check out this rare old Bedell acoustic, modified & converted to electric for Sam Kuusisto of the Sam Kuusisto Band. This is one beautiful guitar up close, & you've got to see it to believe it. Thanks for the photo, Sam. Rock on.
