2 weeks ago | musicradar.com | Rob Laing

On the face of it, electric guitar strings don’t seem like they should be that engaging a subject, but we guitarists are a very particular bunch, and debating the benefits of one set vs another often inspires fairly impassioned discussion. Preferences are many and varied, but luckily, so is the array of choices. One proprietor of such options is Ernie Ball.

Can you fix your guitar's frets yourself? We try three innovative approaches from MusicNomad to investigate how they might conquer a major cause of fret buzz

4 weeks ago | musicradar.com | Rob Laing

Finding the causes of fret buzz on your guitar or bass is often a process of elimination – nut slots, neck relief, bridge saddle snags and even troublesome strings can all play their part. I focus on some of these in my guitar setup tutorial but uneven frets can often be another culprit – and that's not such a straightforward issue to tackle at home. Or is it? Wood and metal move, especially over time and under the tension of playing and strings.

I bought the cheapest bass Fender makes from Amazon and it genuinely surprised me: Squier Debut Series Precision Bass review

1 month ago | guitarworld.com | Rob Laing

Fender teaming up with the world's biggest online retailer makes a lot of obvious sense, especially when it comes to reaching brand-new electric guitar and bass players. So an exclusive Squier series is hardly a curveball. The aggressively low prices are more surprising. Fender is clearly very keen to gets its iconic Tele, Strat and P-Bass body shapes and C-shape necks in the hands of as many players as possible with its lowest Squier price points right now.

"Fender has stripped back the price - but has it gone too far here paring back the sounds too?": Fender Standard Acoustasonic Telecaster review

1 month ago | guitarworld.com | Rob Laing

Fender's Acoustasonics have been around long enough for the message to be clear; these guitars are not the best of both worlds. But they are a unique meeting of them that blurs some lines between electric and acoustic guitar sounds. It won't ever replace your Tele or Taylor, but for some players it'll be a more practical performance solution and unlock different kinds of inspiration at home. But it was always for a price some of us were simply unwilling to pay.

"This seems like the missing link for anyone who uses an amp modeler at home": Headrush FRFR-Go speaker cab review

It's no secret that multi-effects and amp modelers are becoming increasingly diverse and popular. And most of us play guitar and bass at home. So why has nobody done the logical thing to connect the two and made a small desktop FRFR powered speaker specifically for using with modelers?
