Matt Bruck EVH Gear launches Wolfgang Van Halen's SA 126
Episode 263
mercredi 7 août 2024 • Duration 34:02
Matt Bruck started working as Eddie Van Halen’s guitar tech in 1990, and was Eddie’s business partner at the inception of EVH Gear in 2004. After Eddie’s untimely passing in 2020 it was announced that Matt and Wolfgang Van Halen would be running the company, continuing its legacy and looking to the future.
Matt joins us to talk about the launch of the long awaited SA126 - Wolfgang’s own model. The guitar holds a special place in the EVH Gear lineup being the first from-the-ground-up design in some time and is a unique blend of vintage and modern themes.
Matt thoughtfully fills us in on the journey of the guitar from inception to launch, what it means to continue the legacy of EVH Gear and why genius runs in the Van Halen family.

Troy Cassar-Daley - In Replay
lundi 12 juillet 2021 • Duration 01:05:43
TCD in replay!
There are few more loved figures in Australian music than Troy Cassar-Daley.
Troy's songwriting, performances and musicianship have seen him win a slew of awards: arias, deadlies and about three dozen golden guitars.
Behind all this is a great guitar player and absolute tone hound. Troy fired up his live rig and home studio to play us through his prized acoustics, vintage Tele, pedal board, amps and a spectacularly sweet franken-strat.

Brian Canham PSEUDO ECHO - GSP #164
dimanche 4 juillet 2021 • Duration 52:53
Brian Canham is a founding member, frontman and guitarist for the chart topping Australian band Pseudo Echo.
Whilst Brian is a bona fide pop star with a bunch of ARIAs to prove it, he is also a killer guitarist equally adept at crafting clever parts as he is ripping solos.
Brian talks us through his career and gives us insight into his guitars, gear, production and songwriting style over the years.
Pseudo Echo has just released a new album - a great story in itself - 1990 The Lost Album Demos.
Brian was an excellent guest - passionate, humble and a great storyteller!
