That Was The Year... 1994 Dams, Cyclones and Screams
BRIAN MOORE CUSTOM GUITARS
are finally making an appearance in the Uk although the stunning Mc-1 has actually been around for a couple of years. Brian worked previously with Ned steinberger so it’s hardly surprising that this guitar has a graphite body with a thru-neck configuration. its super-s-style appearance is enhanced by a quilted maple top and matching reverse headstock with a 2/4 sperzel tuner placement.
TAKING THEIR VERY FIRST BREATHS
are harry styles and Justin Bieber but as they pop into existence a few others take a final bow including kurt cobain, Danny Gatton, harry Nilsson, Nicky hopkins, Dinah shore, henry Mancini, Roy castle and Fred ‘sonic’ smith (guitarist with Mc5).
CARVIN’S AC175 IS A SLIM BODIED ELECTRO
