Gadow Guitars has announced the re-introduction of their bass guitar line . The newly designed basses are a welcome addition after production stopped on their first generation design in 2006. The new basses are being built in their workshop in Durham, NC.
The new line featyres two configurations, the Custom and Classic. The Custom comes standard with swamp ash body, figured maple top, and active Bartolini pickups and pre-amps. The Classic version is offered as the Classic and comes standard with swamp ash body and passive Bartolini pickups.
“We have been wanting to come out with a new Bass for a while, but had taken our time on the R&D aspect to make sure that we got it right,” explained head luthier Ryan Gadow. The instruments start at $1599 retail and will be available from six authorized Gadow dealers.
Gadow Guitars' clean, elegant designs continue to use the highest quality tonewoods and hardware. Each Gadow instrument is set up, tested and signed personally by Ryan Gadow to ensure the highest level of quality.

Taylor Guitars is set to commemorate its 35th anniversary with its most eclectic collection of limited edition guitars to date. From new models to premium versions of existing guitars featuring exotic grades of wood, the company will be crafting small quantities of each to celebrate. The first series of anniversary guitars to be released highlights the company's electric line, offering exotic tops in the SolidBody XXXV-SB-K (koa) and the XXXV-SB-QM (quilted maple); and in the semi-hollowbody T3 as the XXXV-T3-C (cocobolo) and XXXV-T3-K (koa).
The 35th Anniversary edition of the T3 gives players a choice of fiery-orange colored cocobolo (XXXV-T3-C) or rich, sparkling koa (XXXV-T3-K). These limited edition models feature bodies and necks crafted from sapele, ebony peghead overlays, chrome hardware and will feature the "35" anniversary inlay between the 11th and 12th frets. Introduced earlier this year, the T3 features Taylor's Style 2 HD pickups, three-way pickup switching, and coil-splitting that gives players a spectrum of humbucker and single coil sounds in one guitar. On the T3/B, an authentic Bigsby vibrato tailpiece is paired with a roller bridge for smooth functionality and an added dimension of sound. Both XXXV-T3 anniversary models will be produced in ultra-limited quantities.
