Cornford Amplification Receives Premier Guitar’s Premier Gear Award

June 2, 2009 - PRLog -- Cornford Amplification’s, Roadhouse 30 Combo, part of a new line of amplifiers from Cornford, has been honored by Premier Guitar with a Premier Gear Award for the month of June.

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 gear reviewed by Premier Guitar, only exemplary items earn the award.

The Roadhouse 30 is the flagship of Cornford’s plan to gain international exposure. “We're proud of the way the Roadhouse range sounds,” says Wally Toney, owner of Cornford. “We believe that it's an outstanding amplifier deserving of this distinguished award, and we are honored to receive it from Premier Guitar.”

“I found the Cornford Roadhouse 30 combo to be a great amp for those looking for a professional-quality tone without the weight,” said Premier Guitar reviewer, Kenny Rardin. “It’s a small package with a big tone, and it would serve the needs of almost any type of guitarist. Whether it’s blues or screaming, harmonic-laden riffs, this amp seems to do it all very well.” Premier Guitar gave the Roadhouse 30 a rating of 5.0, the highest possible rating.

“We created the Premier Gear Awards to recognize gear that is truly exceptional in terms of the characteristics that are most important to our readers,” says Chris Burgess, Editor-in-Chief for Premier Guitar. “Whether it's tone or build quality, craftsmanship, looks, playability, value, versatility, or even that 'certain something' that can be so difficult to define, these awards are our way of saluting the gear that decisively surpasses our exacting standards.”
