The one and only Google contacted AXE HEAVEN® to have us design and create a mini promo guitar award. The YouTube themed BizApps YouRock guitar started with a clean white electric style body guitar. Google wanted the YouRock logo to be a bold statement on the front of the mini guitar. The back shows off the colorful Google logo along with the BizApps Support Team text. We wanted to share this
We wanted to share this graphic version that was not selected by Google. Its a very cool vintage TV tube design created by our AXE HEAVEN® designers. Google wanted more of a clean look that shows more of their company branding and voted this option out.

AXE HEAVEN® worked exclusively with Melissa Etheridge to handcraft a promotional mini guitar for her merch store at www.melissaetheridge.com. The model was built to a 1:4 scale replica of the Adamas Melissa Etheridge Signature Ovation guitar that she plays at every concert. Each highly detailed miniature guitar from AXE HEAVEN® is made out of solid mahogany with solid metal tuning keys, painted epaulets around the sound holes, metal frets & the “ME” symbol inlaid at the 12th fret. We’ve even added her “Speak True…” signature to the front. These beautiful works of art are individually handcrafted & no two are exactly alike. This guitar is 10.5″ in length (body of guitar fits in the palm of your hand) & comes with an adjustable display stand, as well as a AXE HEAVEN® gift box printed like a guitar case. This stunning collectible makes a very special gift for any Melissa fan or music lover.

We are extremely proud to present the brand new Fender™ by AXE HEAVEN® Officially Licensed Merchandise Collection of miniature guitar collectibles. To celebrate our new partnership with Fender™, we’ll take a look a look at the history of their iconic models of electric guitars and basses that trace the history of modern popular music.
The rich history of Fender™ guitars begins with the Telecaster™, affectionately known as the Tele™.
This indispensable workhorse of an instrument has endured virtually unchanged for more than 60 years as a testament to elegant simplicity in form and function.
The Telecaster™ was developed in 1950 by Leo Fender. One of the longest-running production models in history, it has been modified only slightly since its early 1951 debut.
The Tele™ is known for its ability to produce both bright, rich, cutting tone or mellow, warm, bluesy tone, depending on the selected pickup. This feature is what made the guitar so important to the evolution of country, electric blues, funk, rock and roll and other forms of popular music.
Additionally, its solid body allowed the guitar to be played loudly as a lead instrument with less of the feedback hollowbodied instruments tended to produce at volume.
Even though the Telecaster™ has been around for more than 60 years, and more sophisticated designs have been coming out since the early 1950s (including Fender’s own Stratocaster™), the Tele™ has been in production continuously since its release.
Over the years, many guitarists have played the Telecaster™. In the early days, country session musicians were drawn to this instrument designed for the “working musician”. These included:
Buck Owens
Waylon Jennings
James Burton
Elvis Presley
Merle Haggard
Chet Atkins
The Telecaster™ also has a long and significant role in both Blues and Rock music. Some of the early proponents of the Tele™ included:
Roy Buchanan
Albert Collins
Muddy Waters
Mike Bloomfield
Steve Cropper (original member of Booker T. and the M.G.’s, and session man extraordinaire for Sam and Dave, Otis Redding and countless other soul and blues acts.)
George Harrison (used a custom-built rosewood Telecaster™ during the recording sessions for The Beatles’ Let It Be album)
Eddie Vedder
Keith Richards
Andy Summers (The Police)
Bruce Springsteen
Albert Lee (whose extensive use of the Telecaster™ earned him the nickname of “Mr. Telecaster”)
Take a look at this short but definitive documentary about the Telecaster™, Leo Fender’s iconic electric guitar, featuring interviews with Albert Lee, Steve Cropper, James Burton, Keith Richards, Jeff Beck, GE Smith, and other musicians who demonstrate its abilities and discuss their love and admiration for this classic masterpiece.

It’s that time of the year when almost too much is going on in the world of rock guitarists to keep up with it all. So to cover as many bases as possible, we will just briefly mention news of interest along with links to follow for the complete articles or more details.

We have recently written several posts about the list of the 100 Greatest Guitarist Of All Time in Rolling Stone Magazine. That list was recently updated, with several notable changes, the first of which is the very impressive and long list of voters, which certainly adds credibility to the selections. It is hard to argue with the results when they are based on the opinions of so many talented and well-respected musicians and members of the music industry.
The first thing we noticed about the revised Top 100 is how high Derek Trucks is on the list. At #16, he ranks between Neil Young and Freddie King, which is a very impressive showing based on a vote of long-time veterans and his peers. In the photo of Derek on his page within the list, he is playing a sweet-looking red guitar. We feature a similar Pete Townshend red miniature guitar replica collectible.
