Ernie Ball:
One of the most popular Ernie Ball Music Man models, the John Petrucci Majesty, is being welcomed with 4 brand-new, striking finishes.
Now offered in Pink Sand, Red Phoenix, Smoked Pearl, and Ember Glow, the 2020 Majesty features a lightweight okoume body, signature DiMarzio Rainmaker and Dreamcatcher pickups, and an onboard piezo bridge system that gives the guitar a focused and highly versatile palette of tones.
Check them out here.
Nobels:
Speak to a lot of Nashville session greats about their favourite overdrive pedal, and plenty will point to one box, the ODR-1 from Nobels.
This legendary drive pedal now includes a built in bass cut allowing the player to tame some of the that wild low end whilst Single coils users can still access the harmonically rich full range of the ODR-1.
There really has never been a better time to own this absolute cult classic transparent overdrive pedal to deliver creamy, natural overdrive – Everything from pushed clean amp tones to gain filled stacks!

Reverend Guitars:

Check out the Bob Balch and Robin Finck signature model based on the Reverend Sensei standard model these double cut, set neck Korina body classics are set apart by some wonderful subtle differences.
