For most of us here at Wildwood—myself included—the concept of guitar monogamy is hard to grasp. It almost seems heretical!

When the band signed to Capital Records, they arrived at their first recording session to find that the record company had … Continued
I doubt that I’ll ever buy a relic’d guitar. I have nothing against them, of course—in fact, I drool over the heavy-relic guitars that the Fender Custom Shop sends us every day after I unload them off the truck. I fantasize about taking a relic’d guitar home with me just about every day, but … Continued
When I was twelve, a friend of mine slipped me a copy of Guns & Roses’ Greatest Hits on a church trip. Every night that summer, I would tell my parents that I was going to go to bed to do my summer reading assignment (that year, it was Great Expectations), grab my portable CD … Continued
