The Best Guitar Related Pumpkin Carvings

October 30, 2014 by Jeremy Casey Leave a Comment

Why do a traditional Jack-O-Lantern when you can carve Jimi Hendrix or a Gibson headstock right into a giant gourd? We scoured the internet to find the best pumpkin carvings featuring guitarists and guitars. Some people have used stencils and expensive kits and others just free wheeled using their own artistic abilities. Hopefully next year I’ll start carving a Les Paul pumpkin early in October instead of thinking of it the night before.

Apparently it was cold in Phoenix this week. Reddit user ExtraAnchovies posted the picture below of his guitar and stand resting on a frozen pool. It seems like so much could go wrong with this.

Swimming Pool Shaped like a Les Paul Guitar

If you’re going to deal with the price and upkeep of a swimming pool, you may as well make it a really cool one. This guitar shaped pool that was featured on freshome.com (more photos) is located somewhere in Canada. Using a bright blue vinyl lining allowed them to add accurate Les Paul features with black paint. This will inevitably lead to young kids tossing aside Sharks & Minnows and Marco Polo for new games like Can You Dive to the Second Pickup or King of the Toggle Switch.

Interview with Custom Pick Printer Kevin Grover

June 30, 2010 by Jeremy Casey Leave a Comment

I Heart Guitar did an interview with Kevin Grover of Grover Allman Picks. Check out this excerpt then read the whole interview:

When did you start the company?

The company started in 1990, there were no Australian made guitar picks back then. We invested a small amount of money and had an amazing response from our Australian retailers, as they say – the rest is history. Grover Allman now exports to over 25 countries and has sold in excess of 30 million guitar picks.

Do you remember your very first pick? I still have mine, and it makes me all nostalgic to drag it out and think about all the bad notes I must have played with it…

I do remember my first guitar pick; it came from one of our current competitors, however I don’t have it anymore. It was a brown medium celluloid.

The first guitar pick that our company made I still have. We made a small test production run to trial our tooling and the picks are now kept in a big glass jar. They were .85mm white nylons. We still sell them today as our performer series. Every time I look at the jar I reflect upon where it all started and where we are today.

Who are some of your star clients?

We have a lot of star clients on our books now. Please forgive me if I have left your band off my list as there are so many, there is no order of importance here, just what came to my head – Motley Crue, Bleeding Through, Klaxons, Extreme, Silverchair, Nuno Bettencourt, Nick Sterling, Suicide Silence, Living End, Cannibal Corpse, Slash, Joe Robinson, Bring Me The Horizon, Rammstein and many more.
