Acme Guitar Works Receives Premier Guitar’s Premier Gear Award

Dec. 10, 2009 - PRLog -- The Acme Guitar Works ToneShaper has been awarded a Premier Gear Award for the month of December.

The Premier Gear Award is an honor bestowed upon a piece of gear—whether guitar, amp, effect, or other gear— that has been extraordinary enough to impress the staff of Premier Guitar. Despite the high quality of all gear reviewed by Premier Guitar, only exemplary items earn the award.

“The Acme Guitar Works ToneShaper is a simple-to-install electronics package for the Stratocaster that enables you to finally shape your tone to get exactly what you need out of your guitar,” says reviewer Kenny Rardin. Premier Guitar awarded the ToneShaper a rating of 5.0, the highest possible rating.

“We worked on developing this product until we were well past the point of objectivity,” says Acme Guitar Works founder George Ellison. “So we came to market wondering whether we were really on to something or whether we were deluding ourselves. So of course we’re thrilled that the marketplace has confirmed the validity of our vision, and receiving a Premier Gear Award from Premier Guitar is the sweetest icing on the cake. Our deepest appreciation goes to PG for their unceasing search for cool new gear for guitarists, and many thanks to them for checking out our ToneShaper!”

“An awful lot of gear comes through here every year and we enjoy playing with all of it,” says Premier Guitar’s editorial director Joe Coffey. “We reserve Premier Gear Awards for the best of the best.”
