Pro Hamilton

Page Hamilton did a signature pedal with Pro Tone & here it is.

Relic Hamilton

Helmet's Page Hamilton gets a new, old model (or should that be an old, new model?) this year; it's actually a relic version of the first ESP he played.

It seems the relic-is-cool application is catching on with more brand names. Fender & Gibson have bigger shares in this market owing to a stronger acceptability of owning a trashed-but-loved guitars; it's all about what's on the headstock. I think I'm the very few people left on planet earth who get excessively perturbed when I ding my guitar.

LTD: Miguel & Hamilton

2 more LTD Signature guitars are now available at Davis GMC:

• Travis Miguel model (Artreyu)
• Page Hamilton model (Helmet)

Both were conceived to give imposing responses to high octane drive/ distortion. If you wish for an all out distortion assault, the EMG equipped Travis Miguel model would be your cup of tea. the Page Hamilto model on the other hand would reward those who do not like their drive too abrasive in the top end; the reason those DiMarzios are in there. Both guitars are brilliant in their own turf but the latter guitar possess a more curvacious body design which makes playing quite tranquilizing. These Korean guitars are superbly crafted at World Music Factory, the same production hands responsible for the respectable PRS SE models, as well as selected Ibanez Prestige units.
