4th Joe Perry Signature guitar

This is the fourth of my dialectal journals.

From their earliest days as Boston punks to their present-day status as Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees, Joe Perry and Aerosmith have endured the test of time and triumphed. Just as Aerosmith's music has evolved, so have Joe's ideas about what his Signature Model should be. The new Joe Perry Model, with its unique Green Tiger finish and "Boneyard" logo is a dramatic departure from the original 1996 Custom Shop model. AAA figured maple top, single-ply cream binding, BurstBucker 2 and 3 pickups (neck has reversed polarity), aged nickel hardware, "Joe Perry" engraved on truss rod cover.

I believe that if one guitarist deserved a line of guitars made after him it would be Joe Perry. Joe Perry is the guitarist for Aerosmith, the hard rock band of 70's until now. This guitar that turned the world of Rock and Roll upside down. This left handed guitarist who plays a right handed guitar has redefined the definition of playing guitar. Truly a great guitarist.

Sound paragraph structure, and I like the appositive phrase (''the hard rock band..."). Read sentence #3 again; can you hear that the word "that" is unnecessary, and leads you to expect more in the sentence than you get? The last sentence is a fragment, too. Be especially aware of sentence structure in your entries for the next couple of weeks.
