In honor of the new Wolfmother album Cosmic Egg, I’m doing a cover of their song Dimension found on their self titled debut album. I actually saw Wolfmother live this weekend at Neil Young’s Bridge School Benefit concert. It was an all acoustic set, which is a bit different than you’d expect from Wolfmother (the entire concert is acoustic). I’m also going to be seeing them next month at the amazing Oakland Fox Theater (if you haven’t been there, its a great venue).
As you can see by the lack of posts recently, I’ve been busy with real life (the blog has yet to become the Guitar media powerhouse allowing me to quit my day job… or buy a cup of coffee… just yet). Unfortunately, this has also meant I haven’t been able to add more guitars to the Guitar Print Giveaway. Because of this I’m going to extend the giveaway to November 2nd. Between now and then I will definitely be adding more guitars for the print giveaway.
Since I seem to be posting so often about the Jimi Hendrix Gibson guitar debacle, I thought I’d post another quick update. It appears that even Experience Hendrix have removed all mention of the guitar from their website. Initially it had only been Gibson who seemed to be abandoning anything Jimi Hendrix related on their website. Although, I couldn’t imagine why they would want to get rid of the Jimi Hendrix Piano, that was totally legit.
On the heals of Gibson announcing the Jimi Hendrix Piano, Gibson’s mandolin and banjo departments did not want to be left out. So, available immediately are the Authentic Hendrix Gibson Purple Haze Mandolin and Authentic Hendrix Gibson Wind Cries Mary Banjo. Both are created to the exacting specifications of the Authentic Hendrix corporation, stating “We at the Authentic Hendrix corporation take pride in upholding the integrity of the Jimi Hendrix brand and are proud to put Jimi’s name on the instruments that he helped push in new directions.”

Ok, this is strange, but all of the links to the Gibson Jimi Hendrix guitar have been removed from Gibson’s website. Has Gibson come to their senses and pulled the plug on the guitar that seemed to be wildly hated across the internet? Could my fake Fender Les Paul post have been what made them see how utterly ridiculous it was for them to be making the Jimi Hendrix strat? (don’t worry, I’m not that delusional)
