Citation/mention fame — how often this gear is cited across artist rigs and gear discussion.The Erlewine Lazer is a hand-built custom electric guitar featuring headless, neck-through-body construction, designed for exceptional tuning stability and comfortable portability. The Lazer weighs only 5.5 pounds and employs Mark Erlewine's patented Wineomatic headless tuning system. The 25.5 inch scale with 24 frets and rosewood fingerboard accommodate a Classic 59 style bridge humbucker with push-pull coil-tap alongside an alnico single-coil neck pickup. Wood options include mahogany, 160-year-old black walnut, and korina. According to Johnny Winter, the Lazer delivers the tonal character of a Stratocaster (trebly, cutting highs) with the playing comfort and feel of a Gibson.
The Ibanez S470 is a modern high-performance electric guitar delivering bright, articulate tone with excellent sustain. Its premium pickups and responsive construction provide excellent lead clarity. The S470 appeals to rock and metal players seeking modern instruments.
