If rock ’n’ roll had a time machine, it would probably look a lot like the new Jake Kiszka SG Standard from Gibson — a guitar that channels pure 1961 energy while keeping both boots planted firmly in the present.

Inspired by the well-loved ’61 SG that helped shape Jake’s sound with Greta Van Fleet, this limited-edition release feels less like a signature model and more like a personal artifact. Kiszka has long credited that original guitar as an extension of himself, and this new version carries that same spirit forward — only now it’s something fans (and aspiring guitar heroes) can actually get their hands on.

While I’m a bit “Late to the Ball, Cinderella” in getting these photos up — as the exhibit closed on April 23rd — I can’t resist sharing the amazing works of artist Tim Hawkinson. I first became aware of Hawkinson last summer, when my friend Evelyn raved about him to  me in conversation, and since then he has become one of my favorite contemporary artists — particularly for his inventive and humorous kinetic sculptures. Pace Gallery recently hosted a very fun and eclectic retrospective of Tim Hawkinson’s work called Counterclockwise. For the work pictured above, Bikini (1993, reworked in 2014), Hawkinson wove electrical cords into this familiar item of clothing.
