🎸🔥 On this episode of Talking Guitars and Music News, we kick things off with a brand-new show intro! It’s still a work in progress, but I want to know what YOU think. The music is an original track of mine called “Rockin’”—and you can stream it everywhere! (Link below if you’d like to support the channel 🙌).

Expect the intro to evolve over the next few episodes, but tonight we gave it its big debut.
Next, I take you on a trip to one of the Bay Area’s legendary guitar shops—Guitar Showcase! I scored an amazing deal on not one, not two, but three Telecaster pickguards. Toward the end of the show, we experiment and see which guitars they might eventually land on.
From there, the conversation heats up with a deep dive into tone, pickups, and amps. Ron’s Charvel is loaded with DiMarzios, but he’s thinking of swapping them for Seymour Duncans. My take? Not every guitar needs to be identical—sometimes it’s the variety of tones that makes your collection shine, whether you’re gigging, recording, or just rocking at home.
We roll more exclusive Guitar Showcase footage—including their epic new room, the used guitar section, and my treasure hunt through their parts bin (where those pickguards came from). Huge thanks again to Guitar Showcase for the killer deal!
Then Ron gives us a personal studio tour—showing off guitars, gear, his workbench, and even a Schecter project in progress. After that, I hit my own bench and mock up a few different looks with those new pickguards.
To wrap things up, I bring out something really special—my first-ever guitar, a Fender Squier Bullet Strat. Even better, Bay Area Rich surprised me with another one in incredible condition, which we unveil on the show.
That’s the ride for tonight! Don’t forget to like, share, and subscribe—and join the chat next time for more guitars, gear, and good times.
