NEWS: Scott Walker guitars
Check out these sexy axes from Scott Walker Guitars. Some of the outlines remind me of Ibanez Artists, while others are a bit reminiscent of the Hagstrom F-200, but much more elaborate and intricate. Also to my eyes they seem to be inspired at least a little bit by the Irwin guitars played by Jerry Garcia of the Grateful Dead, especially with the inclusion of an onboard effects loop. But most of all there seems to be a very distinctive Scott Walker style which is evident in each of the designs.
Thanks to I Heart Guitar reader Michael Goldberg for telling me about these cool guitars!

Hi! I'm Peter Hodgson. I write for Gibson.com, Australian Guitar, Australian Musician, Mixdown Magazine (including my instructional column, 'Unleash Your Inner Rock God,' which has been running since 2007), guitarworld.com, Tone Deaf, Beat (including their weekly hard rock/metal column Crunch) and The Brag. And I'm Assistant Social Coordinator with Seymour Duncan.
I've been playing guitar since I was 8 years old, and I've been writing for magazines since I was 18. I've also worked as a guitar teacher (up to 50 students a week), a setup tech, a newspaper editor, and I've also dabbled in radio a little bit. I live in Melbourne, Australia, and my hobbies include drinking way too much coffee, and eating way too much Mexican food.
You can check out my guitar playing at Reverbnation or on YouTube, and feel free to email me at iheartguitarblog@gmail.com
