John Inman

Joel Wanasek

I too have been a diehard George L user for years now (luv 'em). Mark and Lava have managed to match the quality and possibly improve on tone with a touch of warmth. It's no accident that most of Lava's endorsees are former George L guys like myself. We're the guys  who HEAR a difference in guitar cables, and we had to be convinced and converted. Aside from that they're just plain more affordable to boot.  American made. Super High end quality. Competitive prices. Lifetime warranty. What else do ya' want?

John using Lava Cable: Clip
 

Lava Cable is much cheaper than Monster, sounds much better, and has the same kind of warranty and craftsmanship. I was very impressed and all I can say is that from now on, lava cable is my cable of choice! Another thing that I like is that Lava Cable is a much smaller company than Monster Cable and the owner Mark is a really nice guy. I’d rather support a small company that produces a top quality product than a large company’s marketing department. It is nice to know I can call up the company if I have a question and talk to the owner. Lava Cable is a great product from a great company, don’t short yourself from getting better tone, go get one today!

LoNero

LoNero is a band best described as “lightning before the thunder” in their approach to music. Lead by Bill Lonero, this guitar virtuoso combines the fiery elements of such notable guitar legends as Joe Satriani and Eric Johnson with the soul and passion of Angus Young; he caresses and assaults each note and melody as if his life depended on it. Next is Mike McKaigg on bass, who is a musician’s musician. His influences range from Iron Maiden, Journey, Styx, and has had the distinct opportunity of studying with Bay Area jazz musicians Frank Sumares and Cindy Browne. On rhythm guitar is the newest member of the band, William Baglivio. William takes a long and sorted background of metal, industrial, and electronica and brings some more thunder to the LoNero storm in the form of seven string guitars. He is a team player that wants only one thing....world domination. Oh and he also wants to kick major ass onstage!!! On drums is Steve Spicer. A pure pro and incredible drummer. With his roots based in jazz and rock he has no problem playing any style fuidly. Show-boating is not his thing unlike a lot of so called "drummers" out there. Steve knows that the drummer is responsible for holding the groove plain and simple!
