What You Need To Know

1 What’s going on? Has Guitarist gone shred? Like many, we’ve been relistening to plenty of the ridiculous skills of Eddie Van Halen these past weeks, but you don’t need us to tell you how the world of shred and all its sub-cultures is a fine place to discover some seriously incendiary guitar chops.

2 You mean, like Henrik Danhage? That’s about the size of it. Henrik is a key member of Swedish progressive metal band Evergrey. He’s a very amiable chap and clearly has fine taste in guitars judging by his beat-up signature.

3 It looks like just like the sort of thing Eddie played before he went proper… Exactly. This signature looks like Eddie screwed it together for Henrik back in the day. But Eddie moved on via tie-ups with Kramer, Music Man, and Peavey then finally with Fender where the EVH brand formed in 2007. The limited-edition model shows off a very considered, player-centric design.

PABLO VAN DE POEL

When a band from The Netherlands describes themselves as 'raw, psychedelic Southern rock', it may take a little cognitive processing to work out what that might mean. One listen to DeWolff, however, and you will be duly transported to the 60s for some fuzzed-out rock 'n' roll
