Gibson Rolls Out New Semi-Hollowbody
The experts at the Gibson Custom Shop have made what many guitarists have been longing for an ES-335-type semi-hollowbody guitar with a much smaller, almost solidbody-sized profile. The new ES-339 is just that -- a smaller semi-hollow guitar that still sounds big as a 335 or a 330

How to Make Plastic Guitar Picks
I was surprised to see this article.I have been doing this for a while now.And,you can also create your own unique pick...material/shape and thickness.Also,the edges can be shaped differently at each corner,for a more personal touch.You may want to start off by using a "store-bought"pick(s)and just experimenting with them until you discover a shape that "feels-good" in your fingers,then file the edges down smooth,so they glide across the strings smoothly.Also the material and thickness chosen will affect the tone.

And The Band Played On
Baghdad Symphony Plays On Despite Threats Amazingly, as an increasingly brutal civil war decimates Iraq's capital city, the Baghdad Symphony is still performing regularly. But even the orchestra, which has been held up many times as a symbol of hope for a broken country, has been sustaining losses. One musician has been killed in sectarian violence, and many others "have received death threats, must practice in semi-secrecy and don't dare show their faces to our television cameras." And just to add insult to injury, American and Iraqi soldiers recently raided the home of one of the BSO's violinists, and smashed his 19th-century violin to pieces. ABC World News 05/20/07
The fight for Cuban music Cuba's music is at the core of its national identity and for the past seven years, it has also been at the heart of an international legal battle.
