Nashville Summer NAMM - Quickie!
Hey ya all - Summer NAMM just ended here in Nashvegas. The WGS gang was there doing the music biz smooch thing. It's a very cool place to see the newest gear, I'm a long-time NAMM junkie. It's also a cool place to catch some great performers. Here is a little montage of what I saw when I pointed my little cell-cam in various directions. Coming in a few days - more demos of the new WGS models! Ya'll come back!

Everybody say Woo-Hoo: Liberator and Invader demos! Your comments requested.
Hey everybody ... all together now, get ready to say "Woo-Hoo". I’m bringing you whatcha been asking for:
video comparison demos of the new Liberator and Invader models! But wait, there’s more; I enlisted my buddy Brad Sample of Run With Bulls
to play the licks ... no more listening to my same old stuff. Woo-Hoo,
right? lets begin!
First this quick disclaimer, these videos are meant to be comparison demos
of guitar speakers. Brad ain’t tryen to
impress anyone here by giving a carbon-copy performance of some 80’s hair band
solo. Nuff said? Okay, the...
My New Girlfriend
My New Girlfriend
My wife and I just celebrated 20 years of marital bliss ... so maybe I
shouldn’t come out with this right now, but it’s true: I’ve fallen for another. Folks, I’ve found my soul-mate. Born in 1967, she’s just two years younger
than me. She responds to my touch like
none other. She inspires me; I’m in
love! The best part: my sweet little
wife is totally okay with it. Okay so maybe
the new gal is made of wood, but hey, we all have our little faults,
right? So, let me tell you all about my
new honey, read on!
Yea, okay ... all kidding aside,...
As American as Baseball, Apple Pie, and a Fender Strat!

like no other ... but then I realized that this blog was slated to come out on America’s "Independence
Day"! Shoot, what could I do OTHER than
gush about the insane gratitude I feel to have been born in the USA? Oh ye lovers of the United States,

I decided I would make my personal top-ten list of what I love about the US, after reading my list, please chime in with
your own favorite things about America

Soooo, my wife is a native Southern Tennessee Gal, and she has informed me
that the proper southern way to say hello to all of you is as follows: Hey y’all, whatchew doin? (Your proper
response is: Not much, whatchew doin?).
So, Hey y’all, whatchew doin? Me,
I’m a blogging away. As most of y'all
know, many amp builders prefer WGS speakers, from established companies like Burriss, and Paul Reed Smith, down to
Mom-n-Pop boutique builders who’s’ production output is only a handful of amps
a year ... and, here at WGS, we love ‘em every one! This week, I’m...

Love in the Box - Two Great Tastes That Taste Great Together! (Mixing speakers)
We WGS types just can’t ever leave well enough alone. We love to tweak, re-tweak, and then tweak
some more. Our motto: If it’s worth doing, it’s worth
overdoing! That’s why we are sometimes
not satisfied with simply loading up our 2x12 or 4x12 cab with a set of great
sounding speakers; every now and then we tone tweak-heads like to do a little
mix-n-matching. We at WGS have long
recommended the pairing of our ultra warm and smooth ET 65 with some of our
more gutsy and/or touch-sensitive models.
I personally have gigged with a ET65-Vet 30 combo as...
TOTALLY AWESOME! Ya gotta read this...

Hey everybody! I just received an
email from Chris Mahoney, who won my latest speaker giveaway contest. Read
his story HERE. Anyway, Chris is
awesome, and his email was such a blast that I just had to share it with
you. Read on baby, read on! WGS
Speakers Saved My Life and Tone !!! It’s true, I was lost on the tone train to nowhere. Going down hill
fast with no brakes. ...

TODAY (June 10, 2011) Is A Red-Letter Day!
I'm not talking about Les Paul's 96th birthday observance ... not even the 76th anniversary of the founding of AA. Nope. This is a red letter day for the guitar tone freaks of the world ... today is the day WGS begins taking orders for the new and totally awesome Liberator, and Invader! Order away oh thou faithful! I'll post video demos of these speakers on my blog soon!
Why Being a DJ Has Made Me A Better Band Leader
Why Being a DJ Has Made Me A Better Band Leader
At the tender age of 15 I got my first real regular job, as a DJ at KKOJ, our
little home-town radio station. I worked
three days a week after school and pulled two long week-end shifts; often I
would sign the station on at 5:30am after having had a 9-1am band gig the night
before. I was young and it was
awesome! After graduation I worked another
year or two as a DJ at several stations in Minnesota
and Iowa. I also started doing some mobile DJ gigs,
mostly wedding dances. In the last few
years I have traveled back to the future, and through the purchase...

More of What You Want - WGS comparisons v. 2.0!
Hey everybody! This week I’m back to comparing
some popular WGS models head-to-head. For the set-up, see last week’s blog. I sincerely hope these comparisons are a
useful aid for all of you in choosing a speaker! Okay, it’s time to get back to the
comparisons! This week I’ve got some
awesome comparison videos on-tap (like the Vet 30/Retro30), Read on!
This week I start by comparing the WGS Reaper to the ET65. Here’s the video (summery follows):
