Tell Me About Your New Wah-Wah

One of the major problems with writing about (and being interested in) guitars and amplifiers is that it’s none too easy to find out what’s going on. I’m constantly telling guitar and amp manufacturers that if they let me know what they’re selling and send me a picture then it’ll be easy to keep all my devoted readers up to date on how to spend their money. Sometimes I even call them up and plead. More often than not I don’t get too far with all this subservience — I just get bitchy letters forwarded to me from CREEM’s advertising department signed by vice fhesidents who want to know why I didn’t mention their company’s products in the latest CREEM supplement.

So I was delighted that the bhone rang the other day and a representative from Chicago Musical Instruments (they have Bigson, AKG, Epiphone, Yamaha, Maestro and other fine lines) introduced himself and proceeded to teM ifie in' excited tones about their new SG amplifier series. We talked for about a half hour and then I went to Manny’s (NYC’s musical instrument headquarters) to see the SG amps for myself. I hope you’ll give a listen to the SG serie^, because you’ll find that they are one of the important amp lines to consider when outfitting a. band. And I also hope that Chicago Musical Instrument will call again and send me more info on some of their other stuff. v
