road.worn

roadworn : a heavily worn object that bears the wear and tear of years on the road. it is often said that the damage to a roadworn guitar can improve its tone and character. this blog is dedicated to the way a guitar can tell its history through its tone. follow road.worn for old guitars, new guitars, music news, gig reviews and, of course, tele tuesdays. if you'd like to check out my soundcloud, head to the following link: https://soundcloud.com/lawrence-court

Here's an interesting article for all y'all who like to think outside the box when it comes to the big day of buying a new guitar. Maybe some of these guys have some awesome hidden gems that could be worth a demo before you make that crucial decision? The quest for that perfect tone continues...

It takes some incredible talent to so seamlessly transition from beautiful Flamenco tones straight into Woke up Dreaming. All hail Joe Bonamassa!

But then again, Fender UK & ROI's candidate for this week's Tele Tuesday is also pretty smokin'...

[roadwornguitars]

This week's Tele Tuesday isn't a Tele at all, but Billy Gibbons' signature Broadcaster by John Bolin definitely makes the cool cut and slides into this week's hot spot. The no-nonsense single humbucker circuit cuts out any wiring issues to give one clear, hot rod tone and it sounds awesome. If you want proof of how hot it sounds follow the link to 'I Gotsta Get Paid' and see for yourself.... http://youtu.be/kaIZWjItReI

Joe Bonamassa's Guitar of the Week #4 "This is a 1971 Fender Jaguar in candy apple red finish with a matching headstock. A cool surf guitar. I recommend ample amounts of reverb from your twin with this guitar. Surfs up ladies and gents!"

Awesome performance from The Temperance Movement at the O2 Forum, London. The British-based Southern Rockers opened with a cool, classy tribute to David Bowie - a cover of 'Ziggy Stardust', which got the ball rolling on the right note. The rest of the setlist was a perfect mix of heavy hits from their second album 'White Bear' and the thoughtful classics of their eponymous first album. Both the band and the crowd were amped up for this gig and the result was a high-intensity performance fuelled by audience excitement and participation. I loved it and I'll be first in line to get tickets to their next!

Found this awesome guitar centre in Antigua, Guatemala whilst backpacking through Central America last year. 

I chatted with the local owner for a while and told him how much I was missing my guitars back home in the UK so he let me sit and jam for a while on his balcony while a small crowd gathered to hear me play. 

The guitars here weren't roadworn but after six months on the road, i was one roadworn backpacker! Great guitar memories from Antigua!
