Eddie's Guitars

Offset-body guitars like the Fender Jaguar and Jazzmaster received very little love until the indie rock scene took off in the late ‘80s and early ‘90s due to their perceived deficiencies — a clunky bridge, heavy strings and less sustain.

However, this unique style of guitar has developed a niche fan-base among enthusiasts over the past few decades as production techniques have improved.

Now, many of these initial problems have now been resolved, and nowhere is this more apparent than with the Collings 360 Series.  Continue Reading

Modern guitars are very different from their vintage counterparts. While some people prefer the playability and punchier sound of contemporary builds, others love the seasoned tones of a vintage acoustic.
