Guitar Center Unveils Premium Vintage Guitars and Basses
Guitar Center Vintage held a special, invitation-only vintage event at the Hollywood store to feature some of the most interesting and valuable guitars they've found over the past few years. We had a chance to pry Guitar Center Vintage Director Jack Hetherington and Nick Conte, one of their more experienced vintage buyers and appraisers, away from the preparations for a brief talk about some of the valuable pieces that would be available at this event.
  • If you've never had the opportunity to visit the Hollywood Vintage Room, prepare to be awestruck at your first glance. If there is a vintage guitar heaven, this may well be it. On this occasion, in addition to many of the guitars being displayed on the iconic wall behind the stage, some of the rarest were displayed around the room in open cases.
  • Three-time Grammy Award-nominated jazz drummer, composer and producer Nate Smith recently visited a full house at Guitar Center Hollywood, playing through original compositions and having an illuminating conversation about his musical influences, style, technique and equipment.
  • Guitarist, singer and songwriter Marcus King recently packed the house at the Nashville Guitar Center's Vintage Room for an intimate workshop and interview about his guitars, his career and his creative process.

Interviews

Harbinger VARI Live 4400 Series Powered Speakers | Maximum Headroom
The new V4412 and V4415 deliver considerable upgrades to their maximum volume specs, making the 4400 system loud enough for almost any non-arena environment, as well as having the signal headroom to maintain clarity and dimension for lower-volume gigs. Harbinger Product Manager Patrick O’Connor is here to explain why the 4400 series represents “our most powerful and capable loudspeakers yet.”
  • We’re excited to have Allen Abbassi, Fender Director of Product Management for electric guitars and basses, onboard to give you a deeper look at the nearly 80 models the company is bringing to the re-energized Player II series.
  • The music business may have a vast bookcase chock full of stories where dreams came true—as well as an entire library devoted to dashed hopes—but few tales are as magical as that of Randy Smith and MESA/Boogie.
