Nile Rodgers Salutes 70 Years of the Fender Stratocaster
The full scope of what Nile Rodgers has accomplished with a Strat in his hands is almost unimaginable. There was never a more appropriate artist to join us in celebrating 70 years of the Fender Stratocaster than one who has contributed so much to the world of music with it.
  • Guitar Center was proud to host a celebratory event for Taylor’s 50th anniversary, in which we were joined by company cofounder Bob Taylor and CEO/Master Guitar Designer Andy Powers, alongside artists Ben Harper, Elise Trouw, Lisa Loeb, Steve Poltz and Molly Miller at our flagship Hollywood store.
  • Guitar Center Vintage held a special, invitation-only vintage event at the Hollywood store to feature some of the most interesting and valuable guitars they've found over the past few years. We had a chance to pry Guitar Center Vintage Director Jack Hetherington and Nick Conte, one of their more experienced vintage buyers and appraisers, away from the preparations for a brief talk about some of the valuable pieces that would be available at this event.

Interviews

  • The new V4412 and V4415 deliver considerable upgrades to their maximum volume specs, making the 4400 system loud enough for almost any non-arena environment, as well as having the signal headroom to maintain clarity and dimension for lower-volume gigs. Harbinger Product Manager Patrick O’Connor is here to explain why the 4400 series represents “our most powerful and capable loudspeakers yet.”
  • We’re excited to have Allen Abbassi, Fender Director of Product Management for electric guitars and basses, onboard to give you a deeper look at the nearly 80 models the company is bringing to the re-energized Player II series.
