- 1960s Alamo Fiesta
guitarz.blogspot.com Two things are sure about Alamo guitars: they are rare vintage US cheapos, and they do have strange shapes - strange outlines, strange pickguards, strange pickups, a look at this Alamo Fiesta says all… Alamo was an early amp...
- New Complexity (part 2): The Contra
guitarz.blogspot.com Yesterday we had a look at New Complexity's Harmonic Master, this is their Contra, a more regular model - with its strat-like 3 single-coils - but no less creative in its minimal classicism. I like the transparent...
- 1978 Bc Rich 10-string Bich
guitarz.blogspot.com One of my favorite guitars ever is the 10-string Bich by BC Rich, with double four higher strings for rich harmonic sound and single lower ones for heavy riffs... Designed by Neal Moser in 1977, it's part of the early BC...

New Complexity (part 1): the Harmonic Master
guitarz.blogspot.com
I often have the feeling that Australia is where things happen nowadays when it comes to our favorite subject: guitars! Several of my favorite websites / blogs / Facebook pages emanate from Oz, and they show passionate innovative people busy with improving guitars, when other countries that once ruled are just stuck in a bygone golden age…
Take New Complexity, a one man company in Melbourne, and its Harmonic Master, a 12-string 'third bridge' guitar with a pickup behind the bridge that catches harmonic resonnance, a fully adjustable 12-saddle gizmo as a stop-tail to tune it and 3 different outputs. This is not a guitar with mere cosmetic modifications or sophisticated gear, it's a rethinking of the instrument!
If you wonder what it's all about, this video explains and demonstrates what the Harmonic Master does. Definitely an instrument I'd love to try!
