Kiesel Antares
Kiesel Guitars has expanded its lineup with the all-new Antares, a striking original design that pushes the company’s modern aesthetic into some sharper territory. Combining razor-sharp styling with the ergonomic features Kiesel has become known for, the Antares appears to be a beast. Check it out here.
Strymon TimeLine MX
With the TimeLine MX, Strymon has reimagined the TimeLine as its most powerful delay workstation yet. Combining 12 independent effects engines, dual-engine processing, an all-new reverb algorithm, expanded routing options, and a significantly upgraded stereo looper, the TimeLine MX pushes well beyond conventional delay.

Ibanez SR300EDX and SR305EDX: New Finishes
The Ibanez SR Standard just got a fairly cold makeover – or at least the SR300EDX and SR305EDX did. The Ibanez SR Standard series now features the SR300EDX in Frozen Gold Matte and Frozen Black Glacier Matte (which looks white to me) finishes, while the SR305EDX got the Frozen Gold Matte finish only. Check ’em out here.
Walrus Audio Lüm Texture Engine Pedal
Rather than simply adding depth or space, the Walrus Audio Lüm Texture Engine Pedal fractures your signal into microscopic sonic fragments, combining granular processing with expansive reverb algorithms to create evolving soundscapes that blur the boundaries between guitar effects and ambient synthesis. Check it out here.
Fender Jim Root Telecaster: New Finish
Jim Root’s signature Telecaster has always been an outlier in Fender’s lineup – namely that it’s pretty metal. Now the Limited Edition Jim Root Telecaster has returned to us all yet again, this time with a limited Shoreline Gold finish. Other than that, it’s all the same as previous iterations. Check it out here.
Solar Guitars E1.6FR Assassin
Solar Guitars is continuing their Red-and-Black theme with the brand new Solar Guitars E1.6FR Assassin. It looks like Gary Holt and James Hetfield got into a fight and I am here for it. Check it out here.
