It's a combination swap meet, flea market, manufacturers' showcase, and a place for members of various Internet guitar forums to meet and mingle.

Speaking of guitars, I read a real geek piece about guitars about Eddie Van Halen.

I know from nothing about guitars but it’s always interesting to hear from a master about his craft.

If the opening licks to Cat Scratch Fever doesn't make a person appreciate good ol' rock n' roll, they just aren't listening right.

And Stranglehold... brilliant!
