Dinosaur Jr. Release “I Bet On Sky”

by

Today Dinosaur Jr. drop their newest fuzz bomb “I Bet On Sky,” via Jajaguwar. This is their tenth studio album and the third since reforming in 2005. For anyone who craves Jazzmaster and Big Muff blistering guitar solos in their earhole this should be a no-brainer. Stream it over at The Independent, buy it on vinyl or CD from the DinoStore if you’re too lazy to go support your local record shop, or digitally online everywhere.

The video below is for the first single “Watch the Corners” starring Tim Heidecker of Tim & Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!

Electrical Guitars

by

Coincidentally, Electrical Guitar Company uploaded this pic shortly after I mentioned them in an earlier post regarding a steel Jazzmaster. This one is made from shiny aluminum and looks incredible.

Electrical Guitar Co. takes its cues from luthier Travis Bean, crafting aluminum guitars (and some wood/aluminum hybrids) with neck through designs and hand wound alnico pickups. They’ve done custom models for some of my favorite guitarists like King Buzzo of the Melvins, Brent Hinds of Mastodon, and Duane Denison of the Jesus Lizard, and are played by other metal heavyweights like Isis and Torche. Their product roster also includes baritones, basses, and a 12 string bass!

If you are interested in seeing more of their beautiful aluminum creations you should definitely check out Electrical Guitar Co.’s Facebook page, where they have posted pictures of many custom jobs not found on their website. I would love to try this 9 stringer, where the top 3 strings are doubled.

Metal Guitarlust!

This hollow body Steel Jazzmaster loaded with TV Jones pickups is giving me major tone boners!

I don’t know how long this guy has been around exactly but I just came across the French luthier Loïc Le Pape, who works exclusively in steel to create some seriously gorgeous guitars. Maybe I’m just a sucker for rusty distressed textures but I haven’t gotten this excited about boutique guitars since discovering Electrical Guitar Co., which uses aluminum to craft their masterpieces.
