Gretsch Electromatic guitars have always been a staple for the budget conscious worship guitarist, but to be honest I never liked them sonically. Cosmetically they nailed it, but tone wise they always sounded to fat and had too much gain to the pickups, when compared to their Japanese made pro-line counterparts. There were tons of…
You may have recognized on our social media channels and on our website that we are huge fans of Martin Guitars. Both the attention to detail they put into their guitars as well has how they conduct business, the company oozes pure class. Martin has been partnering with Worship Guitar Magazine for the past two years…
I rarely make impulse decisions to buy guitars. Normally I spend hours, days, weeks researching and deciding which direction I want to go then I go on the hunt to find what I am looking for. In the case of this Gretsch G6609TFM, I made the decision to buy it before I even played it.…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrAdbH28gIg I must admit, I didn't see this live on Easter. One of the Worship leaders I play with told me to look it up. He raved about it so much, that I almost didn't believe him. Elevation has killed their last three singles, joining forces with the likes of Brandon Lake, Kari Jobe and…
The is my second time around with a Temple Board. The first time around was a disaster. This time has been absolutely fantastic and I wanted to share my story and what I have learned about these great boards. My First Temple Board I bought my first Temple board about 3 years ago and it…
Fuzz often times gets left in the wake of overdrive and lower gain distortion pedals in the world of Church music. Much of today's popular worship songs don't have spots where the effect can be showcased, and if they do have spots where fuzz can be used, many of the tones can somewhat be faked…
Those of you that know me, know that when it comes to guitars I have to see them in person, play them and bond with them before I buy them. I have bought a few guitars online but the process just leaves me un-inspired. There is just something about walking into a store, playing a…
This review is very overdue. In fact I am ashamed that it has taken me so long to buy and write up a review of this pedal. To be honest I am not a compression guy. I have never been an EQ guy and I already had their Prism Boost pedal. So this pedal didnt…
Okay. I have held off from letting my opinions fly in this highly controversial bit of news centering around Gibson and the lawsuits and destruction of counterfeit guitars. I have found that if I immediately start throwing my opinion and feelings around, I usually miss a piece of the big picture. Sure enough as I…
Everyone has probably heard of the Cusack Tap-A-Whirl Tremolo pedal with tap tempo. Guys like Jeffrey Kunde, James Duke and a whole slew of other guys have been using the Tap-A-Whirl for upwards of a decade. Every so often something new will come out but in the end they always seem to go back to…
My love of the D-28 from Martin has always been strong, but past models have always felt a bit closed and flat sounding for use with a full band. That has always pushed me towards the HD-28 with scalloped bracing and herringbone purfling. The HD-28 has, to my ears, always been more open sounding, with…
