“A shut-up-and-take-my-money fuzz pedal if ever there was one”: All the new guitar gear that has caught my eye this week, featuring Manson, Martin, Ibanez, Positive Grid, and more – plus, will Boss' XS-100 Poly Shifter steal the DigiTech Whammy’s crown?

Happy Friday, people, it’s time for your Guitar World round-up of all the fresh gear that has dropped this week, and it has been quite the week – NAMM without the breakfasts.

Of course, there are new electric guitars to gawk at, some all traditional and straight out of Kalamazoo with a Golden Era vibe, some coming off the shop floor already missing a headstock and presenting us with a six-string that challenges our preconceived notions of what a high-performance instrument should look like – should feel like too.
