Guitar Lovers... This is for you.

If you are a guitar afficionado, you will no doubt recognize the manufacturer, Dean Guitars. You may also (if you are of the heavy metal persuasion) recognize the band name 'Jag Panzer'. It just so happens that their guitar player, Mark Briody lives in Colorado Springs and is a friend of ours. It also happens that he is a Dean Guitar endorsed artist, and has one of the first production models of the new Dean Soltero guitar. Dean guitars needed a shot of the guitar with Mark, and luckily... He called me up. Since I'm an old school metal drummer, I was more than happy to oblige... ('giddy' is more like it). The shoot went wonderfully. It was nice to perform a 'commercial' shoot without the normal pressure and deadlines associated with them. So check out the photo toward the bottom of the Dean home page, click on it for a larger version (and story). If you search around the Dean Forum, Mark was also kind enough to post a photo there and a quick note about the shoot. I also invite you to support our local musicians and hey... if you have got $5,000 burning a hole in your pocket... check out the new Dean Soltero guitar (about $7k once it's souped up like Mark's). He assures me, you won't be sorry. Oh, and no... I never actually touched the piece... I'm not known for my finesse behind the drum kit, so it is probably better that way. -Ryan

p.s. Mark has also recently been chosen to represent Engl Amplifiers, and his band Jag Panzer has been chosen to headline for the Keep it True festival in Germany in 2008 (not too far from where I grew up!)
