Tone is Never Ending Journey...

I’m Baris — a passionate fan of the electric guitar, spanning genres from metal, rock, progressive rock, blues, fusion jazz, and classical music. My influences and inspirations range from Star Wars and The Lord of the Rings (books) to Alien, Marillion, Iron Maiden, Dream Theater, Frank Zappa, Warren Haynes, Savatage, Blind Guardian, Death, Fates Warning, Steve Vai, Jerry Donahue, Cream, SRV, Moğollar, Bon Jovi, and plenty of 80s music.

​

Between 2005 and 2016, I worked as an official columnist for national print magazines, publishing numerous exclusive interviews with legends such as Steve Blucher (DiMarzio), Seymour W. Duncan, Lindy Fralin, Fender Custom Shop Masterbuilder Yuriy Shishkov, Steve Morse, Guthrie Govan, Bill Nash (Nash Guitars), Joe Satriani, Dave Weiner, Tony MacAlpine, Alex Skolnick, Dream Theater, Ian Anderson (IA Guitars), Tim Mills (Bare Knuckle Pickups), Jörg Tandler, Erdem Koca, and many others. Alongside interviews, I’ve also written countless guitar and pickup reviews, as well as technical articles focused on electric guitar modifications.

​

Today, my greatest priority is being a dad to my little daughter. Beyond that, I continue my humble tone journey with electric guitars — exploring modifications, experimenting with pickups, occasionally winding them myself, and, of course, finding joy in discovering new instruments.
