The New Ax Attic Site To Go Live Soon!

With the recent purchase (finally) of the domain and hosting, I am now moving forward to shutting down this free page and moving into an arena where I can really make a difference.

The home page is live but no real content yet and most of the links are 404. But my first task once the home page has some stuff on it will be to finish the 404 page.

the ax attic dot com

After that it’s on to seeing how to redesign the way the page is built to create the main landing pages, then I’ll go wild from there.

Even looking to add a penny auction page to the site as things progress. How would you like to pick up a $3500 Les Paul for a few hundred? That’s how the penny sites work, but I have to purchase the script and then the stuff to put on the auction… Gotta help me out to make more money folks! heheh

Thanks to who ever might be watching for this! I know it has been a long time coming, but hopefully this first hurdle was the hardest.

Here she is!

The Daisy Rock Pixie Acoustic Guitar

Tired of the endless sea of boring brown acoustic guitars, Daisy Rock proudly spices it up with the Pixie Acoustic-Electric guitar. Available in four colors, two of which are offered in left handed design. Featuring Daisy Rock’s trademark lightweight body and slimmer, easy-to-hold necks, the Pixie highlights innate femininity and uncompromised quality.

Top-of-the-line features include a rounded composite back like the Ovation guitars, mahogany neck with rosewood fingerboard, pearloid Daisy inlays, and D’Addario strings. Other quality features include Grover tuners for rock-solid tuning, a custom Piezo pickup system, 2-band active EQ for a beautiful plugged-in sound, and even a built-in electronic tuner for total convenience!

Be sure to drop buy and take a closer look!

The Daisy Rock Siren

At first glance this small scale guitar was a bit toyish to me… until I plugged it in.

Now I know this was built for girls, but for a guy who has worked hard enough to have arthritis in his fingers before 40, this scale is a godsend! Of course, I might have to paint it… heh or not!

Anyway, this guitar has some serious tone. I ran it through a Peavey Bandit, one of the older ones with a Sheffield 12 and picked up my old Digitech RP10. I had some sweet tones with just a basic of tweeking, and I am a tone hound!

Then I plugged it in to my bass amp, a ’70s Peavey 400 using the top channel and running through two 15″ Black Widows in a cleaned up upright box.

Now we had some tone! I was playing with decent bluesy grunt while keeping the shimmer at the bridge, then I drop D’ed the poor little thing and went for a chug ride.

You might want a bigger E if you went lower than D, because D is a bit buzzy, but then what guitar doesn’t.

I might get some awesome sounds out of her with a restring and some time playing with a setup, but out of the box this guitar will be perfect for little fingers trying to learn Green Day…

The Mosrite Guitar Company

Mosrite’s were well known for design, engineering, and very thin, low-fretted and narrow necks, and high output pickups.

Moseley’s design for the Ventures, known as the “Ventures Model” (later known as the “Mark I”) was generally considered to be the flagship of the line, but all of his guitars bore his unmistakable touch.

Mosrite also produced an unusual double-necked guitar, which was the type favored by Collins and Maphis; this design was also used by Nick Nastos, lead guitar player for Bill Haley & His Comets, during 1968.

Semie Moseley began building guitars in the Los Angeles area around 1952 or 1953. He began by apprenticing at the Rickenbacker factory, where he learned much of his guitar making skills from Roger Rossmeisl, a German immigrant who brought old-world luthier techniques into the modern electric guitar manufacturing process.

One of the recognizable features on almost all Mosrites is the “German Carve” on the top that Moseley learned from Rossmeisl. Around the same time, Moseley apprenticed with Paul Bigsby in Downey, California, the man who made the first modern solid-body guitar for Merle Travis in 1948, and who invented the Bigsby vibrato tailpiece, which is still used today.

The John Petrucci Signature Guitar

Ernie Ball’s Music Man division released a signature guitar for one of the guitar greats, John Petrucci.

Who is John Petrucci?

Well, guitar virtuoso Petrucci is one of the masterminds behind the band DreamTheater and is a frequent player on the Vai-Satriani G-3 tour, along side greats like, Eric Johnson, Yngwie Malmsteen, and many others.

So what makes this guitar so special?

Well, I can describe it better here. I have also provided links for you to be able to purchase this cool piece of art!

I also have given you the opportunity to find out just who Petrucci is. Have a look!

The Daisy Rock Dubutante Butterfly

The tag line for this guitar says, “Have you ever heard a butterfly scream?”

I’m thinking I could here.

The butterfly is not new to the market but it seems to have garnered some new followers every time a new pop diva tween picks up a guitar.  In my opinion that needs to happen a little more often…

Anyway, this seems to be a well laid out guitar, but don’t expect it to be comfortable sitting down to play.  the short scale and slender neck are perfect for smaller hands though and she might actually play this more of you got her an amp and a distortion pedal…  hint hint.

Let’s Get Serious

With the upcoming run of the podcast version of my Stage novel, from which this shop originates, I thought I should start gettign a few things in motion here.

First, this is soon going to be my market place of new and old.  From my affiliate work to marketing from Ebay and of course, selling my own creations.  I will also be publishing articles on how to fix your ax and your rig on your own.  As well as building your own effects and how to daisy them along to get the best effects.

Be sure to follow the feed!  Soon, I will restart my guitar of the month, and hopefully very soon I can afford to start having giveaways!

Tell everybody you know that likes guitars and get them to subscribe.

In the next few installments, I will be taking you through the fictional realm of the Ax Attic from the novel Stage.  You will get to meet my alter ego who runs this shop, and from then on, he will be the one instructing you.

I am also looking forward to anyone wishing to publish their work on another blog.

Make sure to comment here if you have anything you can contribute!
