The launch of Gibson’s Limited Edition Robot Guitar last year proved to be the single most significant and talked-about advancement in electric guitar technology in decades. Not since the introduction of the humbucker pickup and Tune-o-matic bridge in the mid 1950s—of course, also Gibson innovations—had a new technology made such an important improvement to the world’s most beloved instrument.

Carvin announces another new Custom Shop guitar, the SH60 semi-hollow electric. This new model is based on our popular TL60 solid-body electric, but has a chambered, semi-hollow body, which provides lighter weight, and acoustic resonance. Despite it's classic looks, the SH60 is more than just another take on a classic design.

Gibson USA’s new Shred-V Flying V—the Guitar of the Month for August 2008—takes the style and attitude of the fearsome Flying V a step further. Two EMG 85 pickups deliver high-ouput, screaming tone, perfect for aggressive hard rock and metal, and a new Kahler 2215K tremolo system allows stable tuning and dive bombs.

For many years, guitarists have clamored for and indulged in much wishful thinking about one guitar in particular—a David Gilmour signature model Stratocaster® based on Gilmour’s famous “Black Strat.” They’re about to get their wish.

In addition to ultra-high precision tuning with an accuracy of +/-0.1 cents, and True Bypass you can also connect two guitars or basses, tune them differently, and even store your own custom tunings. The pitchblack+ is truly a professional guitar and bass pedal tuner that’s indispensable for recording or live use.

Since the pitchjack has a built-in jack, simply plug it directly into your guitar or bass, turn on the power, and you're ready to tune. It's a must-have item for every guitarist and bassist. You can adjust the viewing angle of the pitchjack's display to compensate for your instrument's body shape or the angle of its output jack.

The new Jerry Douglas Signature Series Aura Imaging pedal, created in collaboration with the artist hailed by the New York Times as "dobro's matchless contemporary master," uses 16 custom Fishman Aura images created and used by Douglas specifically for resophonic guitars. 

New model features solid korina body with black back and sides with cream binding, two Reverend Revtron mini-humbuckers, Pin-Lock tuners and Bass Contour control. The bridge pickup is slightly hotter then the neck pickup for balanced tone. 

2008’s bass lineup starts with a pair of powerful new amplifiers—the TB-1200 and TB-600 heads. The “TB” stands for “tube bass,” and Fender’s TB family provides just that—the thick, natural and balanced tube bass tone that sits perfectly in the mix onstage and in the studio. Both amps are based on Fender’s acclaimed TBP-1 tube bass preamp.

Luna Guitars is pleased to introduce the Paz Lenchantin Signature Bass. Lenchantin is best known for her playing as a member of A Perfect Circle (with Maynard James Keenan of Tool) and in the super-group Zwan (with the Smashing Pumpkins' founder, Billy Corgan). The bass was a collaboration between the artist and Luna's designers, and the result is a stunning instrument — both sonically and aesthetically — that is as vibrant to look at as it is to play.
