Ibanez RGA8 8-String Electric Guitar Review By - Gearwire

In 2007 Ibanez introduced the world's first production 8-string electric guitar, the RG Prestige RG2228.

THE REVIEW: Secret Weapon (Frontiers Records)

Howard Leese, an original guitarist for Heart and more recently with The Paul Rodgers Band, has released a scorcher of an album!

Although clocking in at only forty some odd minutes, “Secret Weapon” is dripping with hot guitar licks, muscular rhythms and tasteful teasers that display the wide and varied talents and musical stylings of this legendary musician.

Surrounding himself with equally top notch players and singers…this musical journey will leave you wanting more and more! Joe Lynn Turner, Paul Rodgers, Deanna Johnston and Jimi Jamison are just some of Howard’s friends that contribute their talents and share their passion for great music. Coupled with Mr. Leese’s musical prowess, “Secret Weapon” will surprise and sensationalise you! The instrumental pieces are nothing but breathtaking. A musical statement that has been a long time coming…
