NOVA TWINS ARE the most exciting young band in the U.K. Combining rap, punk, R&B, and metal, they also have the filthiest synth sounds a stringed instrument has ever produced. They're the first band since Muse to have tones on their album that we genuinely don't know how to make. They're influenced by music many guitar bands don't even consider. And most importantly, their current album, Supernova, is stuffed with great songs.
The Twins, guitarist/vocalist Amy Love and bassist Georgia South, have been a band since 2014 and are finally catching a buzz, thanks to the support of Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello. Georgia says Rage's support has been invaluable. "With them being a diverse band, they can kind of understand some of our experiences being women of color. The success they've had was really encouraging because there's so many times we'd hit a wall with people not getting it. Seeing a band like Rage Against the Machine, one of the biggest bands in the world, being fully diverse - it's inspiring."
In 2019 Nova Twins supported Prophets of Rage, Morello's rap-metal supergroup with members of Cypress Hill and Public Enemy, and were booked to open RATM's sadly canceled 2022 U.K. dates. "People wouldn't know about us if we didn't have big bands helping us," Georgia says, "because the industry at first weren't getting it. It was two girls playing heavy music looking the way we do, and it was a bit like, 'We don't know where to put you.'"

Caparison Dellinger-JSM V2
WAY BACK IN the dark ages (a.k.a. the Eighties), there were two distinct types of guitar shredders who occupied opposite sides of the spectrum: the hard rock player whose weapon of choice was a super Strat versus the country picker who inevitably opted for a Telecaster.
The Ultimate Guitar Shop

In this exclusive excerpt from Dreaming Japanese, Marty Friedman's new autobiography (co-written by frequent GW contributor Jon Wiederhorn), the ace guitarist details his auditions with Ozzy, Megadeth and - what's this about Madonna?
MAGNIFICENT
Tearing up the blueprint with an octave G string, Johnny Marr's new seven-string Martin signature model is a distillation of all the British icon's most rebellious opinions on acoustic (and yes, there's also a six-string version)
Xotic XSS Super S-Style electric guitar
AS FUNNY AS this sounds, when a brand sends me a new guitar model outfitted with only one pickup, I say to myself, “That’s bold.” Releasing a spartan guitar like the Xotic XSS Super S-Style seems like such a throwback to a time when a guy with the initials EVH changed the entire guitar-world landscape by playing guitar with a solitary humbucker and making every guitarist around the globe realize that might be all we need.

TC Electronic Plethora X1 TonePrint Loader
JUDGING BY THE abundance of effects that the TC Electronic Plethora X1 TonePrint Loader makes available to guitarists, it is obvious that TC knows what it means to have a plethora. Just the same, if having too much of a good thing brings you joy, then TC Electronic's Plethora will bring much delight with its many desirable and stellar-sounding effects - each offering a wealth of options.
1950-69, 1986-PRESENT FENDER ESQUIRE
IT’S PRETTY DAMN cool that the very first commercially produced solidbody electric guitar, the Fender Esquire, can still kick serious butt today; you can’t say that about too many 75-year-olds. Many guitarists often forget that the Esquire came before the Telecaster and that a two-pickup version of the Esquire, which came a few months after the single-pickup version, was essentially the first Broadcaster/Nocaster/ Telecaster. But here I’m just going to focus on the single-pickup version.
Tallon Electric "The Noise"
UNLESS YOU’VE BEEN living under a rock, you’ll know that collaborative pedals between artists and manufacturers are all the rage now.
