It's that time of year again. All the biggest guitar companies in the world are vying for market real estate by announcing massive new product ranges, and the cancelation of the physical NAMM 2021 has only strengthened their determination.
We've already seen swathes of new electric guitars from ESP and Ibanez, and now EVH is throwing its hat in the ring.
