The new left-handed Kramer 84 HH is a fresh and modern take on one of the most influential electric guitars of all time. Players looking to evoke the spirit of 80s rock and metal are going to love this new shred sled!

These newly unveiled guitars are designed to capture the essence of the superstrats that were popular in the 1980s, with a nod to the instruments Eddie Van Halen and other rock icons of the time played.

Kramer 84 HH Left Handed

The original version of The 84 was a no-frills guitar based on the Kramer Pacer. It used design cues and features that were a favorite of Eddie Van Halen at the time.

The new 84 HH takes this classic design and upgrades it with a raft of modern innovations aimed at bringing the guitar more in-line with its contemporaries.

For example, the hard rock maple neck has been thermally aged to provide a lighter-weight and more stable playing area. The fingerboard now also features a modern 10-14″ compound radius for effortless play across the entire neck.

In addition, Kramer has added a second humbucker and coil-splitting for even more sonic possibilities.

The revamped electronics boast a set of Kramer USA Eruption pickups, crafted by Gibson Master Luthier Jim DeCola. For improved sustain and resonance, these pickups are mounted directly to the guitar’s body, bypassing traditional mounting rings.

Naturally, no true shred guitar would be complete without a double-locking tremolo system. The 84 HH delivers with the industry benchmark — a Floyd Rose — giving you full control for all your pitch-bending and dive-bombing thrills.

Specifications:

• Body: Alder (Gloss Finish)
• Neck: Bolt-On Thermally Aged Hard Maple w/ Walnut Skunk Stripe
• Fingerboard: Hard Maple (10-14″ Compound Radius)
• Pickups: Kramer USA Eruption T & R Humbuckers
• Bridge: Floyd Rose 1000 Series Tremolo
• Controls: Master Volume; Two Mini Toggle Switches (One Per Pickup) for Coil Splitting
• Case: Premium Gig Bag Included
• Finish: Radiant Red

The left-handed Kramer 84 HH is already available to purchase – check it out at the links above!

Check out the newly unveiled left handed Epiphone Tribute Les Paul and SG models. Affordable takes on the legendary Gibson icons!

I’ve always thought it somewhat strange that Epiphone did away with their more budget-friendly guitars. Up until now, the cheapest left-handed Epiphone was the Les Paul Junior at around $500. A decent chunk of change to spend on a first guitar, and a price point that probably sent new players towards other brands.

But at $299 each, these two no-frills guitars offer an excellent introductory price-point for new players looking to dip their toes into the world of guitar. Or, they should also make solid backup instruments for players on a tighter budget.

Both of these new southpaw guitars are expected to arrive in stores around December 2024.

Epiphone Les Paul Tribute Left Handed

The left-handed Epiphone Les Paul Tribute, offers an exceptional and budget-friendly gateway to owning a bona fide Les Paul. This model incorporates all the timeless features that have solidified the Les Paul as a classic favorite for generations.

With a carved mahogany top, robust Epiphone 650R and 700T ceramic humbuckers encased in nickel covers, and a mahogany neck paired with a laurel fretboard, this guitar is ready to rock. The tapered neck joint ensures enhanced ergonomics and effortless playability.

• Body: Mahogany
• Neck: Mahogany Bolt-On
• Fingerboard: 22 Fret Laurel
• Bridge: Tune-O-Matic
• Pickups: Epiphone 650R & 700T Humbuckers
• Tuners: Epiphone Closed
• Finish: Heritage Cherry Sunburst

An excellent, no-nonsense guitar for beginners as well as players on a tighter budget. Check it out at the link above where it is available to pre-order.

Epiphone SG Tribute Left Handed

The left-handed Epiphone SG Tribute offers players an affordable way to enjoy the unmistakable tone and feel of a legendary guitar. Designed with a mahogany body, a laurel fretboard atop a sturdy mahogany neck, and fitted with Epiphone’s powerful 650R and 700T ceramic humbuckers, this guitar delivers the rich sound and responsiveness the SG is known for.

Its straightforward design prioritizes performance and playability, making it a reliable choice for players of all levels.

• Body: Mahogany
• Neck: Mahogany Bolt-On
• Fingerboard: 22 Fret Laurel
• Bridge: Tune-O-Matic

Tired of hearing the same old Christmas pop songs on repeat? Dive into the festive spirit with a fresh twist. These Christmas guitar albums by legendary guitarists deliver a blend of virtuosity and holiday cheer, perfect for musicians this festive period!

I’m a big fan of the festive period. But, if I hear Noddy Holder scream ‘it’s Chriiiiistmaaaasssss!‘ one more time on the office radio my head is going to explode… There’s only so much Wham, Mariah Carey and Band Aid that a guy can take.

Seriously, it’s the same damn 10 pop songs on repeat every single year. So to save your sanity, I’ve put together a list of 7 of the best Christmas guitar albums that you can dive into. You should also be able to pick up a few tasty licks from at the same time!

7 Best Christmas Guitar Albums

1.  Merry Axemas – A Guitar Christmas

What happens when you ask 11 world-class guitarists to each cover a killer Christmas track? You get Merry Axemas, of course! Featuring incredible artists such as Eric Johnson, Jeff Beck, Steve Vai, and Joe Satriani, this album is a veritable smorgasbord of virtuoso talent!

This album is a must-listen for any guitarist looking for inspiration, as it combines festive spirit with some of the most impressive guitar playing in the genre. My personal favorite track is Steve Morse’s high-octane version of Joy to the World.

2. Al Di Meola – Winter Nights

Capturing the calm and serenity of a star-filled winter night, Al Di Meola’s album is for those after a more chilled out, jazzy Christmas vibe. In this Christmas guitar album Di Meola has teamed up with Roman Hrynkiv, a Ukrainian bandura musician, to produce an album laden with exotic sounding seasonal songs.

From the hauntingly beautiful “Ave Maria” to the playful warmth of “Carol of the Bells,” Winter Nights exudes both technical brilliance and heartfelt emotion.

3. Joe Pass – Six String Santa

A fantastic collection of some of the best loved Christmas songs by master jazz guitarist Joe Pass.

From swinging renditions of “Jingle Bells” to the tender harmonies of “Silent Night,” Six String Santa captures the holiday spirit while spotlighting Pass’s unparalleled skill and improvisational genius. It’s a must-listen for jazz lovers seeking a sophisticated seasonal soundtrack.

4. Steve Lukather – Santamental

Santamental brings a rock-infused edge to Christmas music, blending holiday classics with the virtuoso guitarist’s signature style. Featuring guest appearances from legendary musicians like Eddie Van Halen, Steve Vai, and Slash, the album offers a dynamic mix of soulful guitar work, jazzy grooves, and powerful rock energy.

Guitarists will especially appreciate the intricate solos, and inventive arrangements that breathe new life into tracks like “Jingle Bells” and “Silent Night.”

5. Christmas With Chet Atkins

Christmas With Chet Atkins showcases the legendary guitarist’s unparalleled skill and finesse, offering a warm, intimate take on holiday classics. With his trademark fingerpicking style, Atkins transforms familiar melodies like “Silver Bells” and “Jingle Bell Rock” into rich, intricate guitar arrangements that feel both timeless and fresh.

This album is a masterclass in musicality, making it an essential listen for any guitarist seeking inspiration during the holiday season. An absolute gem, and the first album that Chet first used chordal harmonics!

6. Gary Hoey – Ho Ho Hoey

This has to be one of the best value albums in this list, as ‘Ho Ho Hoey‘ features a whopping 37 tracks! Originally recorded solely as a gift for friends, this album was so well received that Gary gave it a full worldwide release.

All tracks are high-energy, riff-laden takes on classic festive songs which are sure to spice up any slow-paced Christmas party!

Tracks like “Frosty the Snowman” and “Deck the Halls” are transformed into electrifying showcases of Hoey’s technical prowess, combining shredding solos, dynamic phrasing, and driving rhythms.

7. Brad Paisley – Christmas

Although he’s responsible for some of the most bizarre song lyrics/titles ever penned (Ode De Toilet? I’d Like To Check You For Ticks!?), Brad Paisley is one damn fine guitarist. Throughout Christmas, Paisley reimagines classics like “Silent Night” and “Jingle Bells” alongside original tracks that showcase his technical brilliance.

It’s probably a good thing that the majority of this Christmas guitar album is covers. There isn’t much opportunity for him to start singing about how he wants to grab Santa’s sack, or something similarly peculiar. There is this though…

Although, in saying that, once you get “James Penguin” stuck in your head there’s no escaping that absolute earworm!
