Alternatives

Season 6, Ep. 15
•

Hello dear listener,


Welcome to another episode of Guitar Nerds. This week, we're discussing alternatives to the big two! We previously asked you, over on Discord and Facebook, what your favourite Fender and Gibson alternatives are. AND further to that, whether Fender and Gibson are still making the best versions of their own gear.


We'll also be unboxing a little gift from DMI Guitar Labs!


Don't forget, you can join us for a whole bunch of nerdy chatter over on Discord: https://discord.gg/mVC3wK6UtS


AND, get 30% off Neural DSP's excellent range of amplifier and effects plugins with discount code: GUITARNERDS
