Guitar Dads – Details, episodes & analysis

 This week, we're covering Megadeth's announcement that their next album will be their last, Bon Jovi's 2026 comeback tour (but will they still have it?), and the vintage guitar phone cases that are lighting up the guitar internet. We'll also dive into Gibson's new $2,999 Noel Gallagher Standard and the full Oasis signature line from Gibson and Epiphone. Plus, we're spotlighting blues guitarist Davy Knowles and a killer new record of originals that's pure blues rock gold. Finally, our Get It or Forget It segment features The Knobifyer pedal controller and innovative volume pedals from Black Mountain Picks and Chase Bliss.

This week we're Dadding out over Orange's new King Comp compressor, celebrating the long-awaited Line 6 Stadium pre-orders, and diving into Fender's brown panel '62 Super reissue. In the news: Eddie Van Halen's Kramer ad guitar just sold for $2.7 million at auction, and Slash says the Sphere isn't right for Guns N' Roses – calling it more spectacle than rock and roll venue. That sparks our question: are legacy rock acts being stubborn about technology, or is there real value in keeping live shows raw and authentic? We've got strong opinions, and we want to hear yours.

This week we are talking modelers, has modern technology finally caught up with the real deal? Also, should you bring your phone to a concert and PRS and John Mayer come up with some new colors for the Silver Sky, are they worth their weight in silver or just fool's gold?
