Gibson Dark Fire Lands In UK
Well, one of them does... The reason we couldn´t get our sticky fingers on the brand new Gibson Dark Fire Les Paul in time for our current issue is because it was required for the official launch.
It took place at on-stage at the Gibson Guitar Studio in London on Monday 17th and was strummed to within an inch of its circuits by Lord Justin d´Hawkins and Hot Leg.
Read the full story of the launch from Gibson by clicking here and no doubt we´ll be bringing you a full review and CD extravaganza just as soon as we possibly can.
Justin, give us that ruddy guitar!
If you're still in the dark as to what the Dark Fire can do (so are we, to be honest), check this video from Harmony Central.
Hot Leg are featured in the January issue of Guitarist that´s out now.

What he doesn't know about Brian May's playing and, especially, the Red Special, isn't worth knowing.

“These things work for me and I am finding out a lot of other guitar players like ‘em too”: Paul Reed Smith loved his Charcoal Phoenix so much that PRS has released this rare bird in strictly limited numbers

“You would get suspended for even having a guitar”: Brian May says it was “illegal” to have a guitar at his school – but he and his friends played during lunch hour anyway
