Moniker Guitars: We've Designed A Guitar For You To Design

April 5th - via: truthinshredding.com
"Whenever I see a new name or logo on a guitar headstock I (naturally) meet it with a certain level of skepticism . It's rare and refreshing to pick up one of those guitars and be genuinely blown away by its playability, tone, and feel. Moniker guitars not only look incredibly vintage cool - they sound amazing. This is sure to catch on in a big way" - Matt Noveskey, Blue October (Read More)

Moniker Guitars Kickstarter campaign

April 4th - via: scarebear.org
I know I've written more than once about the next guitar I'll get. I've received confirmation from my boss (wife) that this will happen in October. That's good for me to know. It's also good for me to know that as indecisive as I am, I already know who will build my next guitar. I've written about them (Moniker Guitars) at least once before as well. Because of their slightly addictive online guitar builder, choosing what that guitar will look like will probably take me months anyhow. In the meantime however, Moniker Guitars has given me an opportunity to add to me guitar pedal collection. (Read More)
