Genista shells are available in the classic 100% American birch and now 100% American maple. The shells are 5.6mm 7-ply thick and like all professional Premier drums, the toms and floor toms are 3mm undersized for easier, more-positive tuning and clearer sound quality. The shell finish is impeccable with a choice of stunning sparkle lacquers, high gloss lacquers or classic wraps and all internally lacquered.

 

What makes the Genista truly iconic is the distinctive lug design, finished in Diamond Chrome and perfectly complimented by the legendary 'P' badge. American maple shells are fitted with a new die-cast ISO mount in Diamond Chrome whilst the American birch feature the more traditional mounting upon the shell to enhance the quality of the birch shell.

Eminence Speakers - Speaker break in

Speaker Break-in

TECH TALK WITH BIG TONY

Tech Talk With Big Tony
Speaker break-in is no myth and something significant really does happen. All speakers are built to meet certain specifications, and we work diligently through QC efforts during and after production to ensure that happens. Every component used in a speaker has tolerances, which can relate to small variances in initial performance. The mechanical properties of a speaker are slightly modified once a speaker is put into service, and the tone is affected by these changes. Speaker break-in is a natural process that is influenced by how much you use the speaker and how loud you play it. Think of a new pair of shoes. They are not most comfortable right out of the box. They feel best after you have worn them for a while, softened up, and formed to your feet. Much like your new pair of shoes, new speakers need time to “break in”, and will not sound best until they do........Read the rest of the article here

Updated www.lonephantom.com review of The FGN (Fujigen) NCLS10RP, now with video

Untitled-1_copy

Fugijen (FGN) Guitars are a Japanese guitar manufacturer that are probably not that well known to most, although they have built guitars for other well-known brands such as Ibanez and Fender, and Epiphone. FGN Guitars are now branching out with their own line of guitars, and distributing them around the world. FGN have a wide range of models, with some paying homage to some famous designs, and others being unique to FGN Guitars.

Thanks to Music Connection, FGN Guitars Australian distributor I have a FGN Guitars Neo Classic NCLS10RP to review. This particular Les Paul style guitar has a beautiful antique gold finish, and is loaded with P90 pickups.

Without looking at the headstock this guitar looks very much like a classic gold-top Les Paul, and is built much in the same way. With a two piece mahogany body with maple cap,  set one piece mahogany neck, and rosewood fretboard everything about it seems very much like a traditional Les Paul. It definitely sounds much like a traditional Les Paul, but other than the headstock...read the rest of lonephantom.com's review here.
