In an exciting first for New Zealand music, Nail, lead-guitarist of multi-platinum award-winning band DEVILSKIN has been invited to join the Gibson family, being formally selected as a Gibson Artist!
Having always been a huge fan and player of the iconic guitar brand throughout his career, Nail now joins the ranks of distinguished guitarists such as Tony Iommi and Dave Mustaine, having also had the privilege of sharing the stage with fellow Gibson Artists Slash and Lzzy Hale during their New Zealand, Australian, and European tours.
“This is such a huge honour for me, I am thrilled to be named as New Zealand’s first Gibson Artist - it’s actually a dream come true! As a kid I grew up watching my heroes play these legendary instruments. And they have always been an essential part in my tone, from the moment I plugged in my very first Gibson, there was an instant magic that I had never experienced before.”

As the commanding guitarist of the beloved hard-rock/metal band, Nail’s searing guitar work and electrifying, high energy performances bring a real intensity to the live show.
Ecstatic to receive his new Custom Shop EDS-1275 Double Neck Guitar last week, Nail can’t wait to play what will be a fantastic addition to Devilskin’s upcoming live shows in Wellington and Napier at the end of this month.
“I am at my most creative when I have my Gibson Les Paul, and have written my biggest songs with that guitar. Without fail, it consistently delivers the powerful sound I want to impart with my playing, every time. But man, I’m super excited to break out with the new Double Neck Gibson when we hit the stage next, it’s going to be a real treat. Gibson Guitars are second to none and it’s an incredible privilege to be assigned this honour.” - Nail

Samoan Diva Turns Her Struggles Into Songs
What’s happening here? Is it just too hard to grip a guitar neck with teeny tiny lady-hands? Does a boxy electric not leave enough room for a pair of boobs?
Or is it more that a lack of female guitarists feeds into the notion that girls can’t play guitar, discouraging young would-be shredders from even starting?
We're not sure, but we thought it wouldn't hurt to highlight some of Aotearoa's best female shredders, in no particular order, starting with Julia Deans.
Country/folk: The Waxeyes
Julia told us about her love affair with the six-string, then nominated her own favourite Kiwi woman guitarist, setting off a daisy-chain of nominations for guitar girl-bosses.
When she was 14, Julia's mum came home from a garage sale carrying a “crappy little nylon string acoustic” and a book on how to play.
Attracted to the idea of an instrument she could play in her room away from siblings and parents, Julia spent hours exploring the instrument and the thoughts in her head. She says it just felt like the natural thing to do.
Andrew Winters Guitar
“At sound check, the guitarist [from another band] hopped off stage and said to me, ‘Be careful you don’t turn the guitar amp up too much because it’ll distort.’ To which I just went, ‘Yeah, right! OK, ’ got up, turned the amp up to 10, plugged my guitar in and was like, ‘F**k you buddy!’
I’ve never been a fan of what I call gratuitous ‘widdly-widdly’ - you know Steve Vai and that kind of thing. I get why that sort of virtuosity is astounding but it just seems to me to be attached to a whole lot of posturing and you know, ‘my gun’s bigger than yours.’
“I don’t know if there was maybe a hint of resentment that I felt totally excluded from that club. But also musically it just didn’t appeal to me - it felt like it was all brain and no heart.

Over the years people have come up to me and said, ‘oh man it was so awesome to see a woman playing electric guitar and owning it’ … It makes me feel amazing. Like really quite humbled and stoked
At that time there weren’t that many women out there doing it I suppose and it wasn’t my intention to make any bold statements or anything. I just really f***ing enjoyed playing loud guitar.
I am proudly and excitedly nominating Emily Edrosa (Street Chant) because she’s a great musician [with] an awesome guitar sound… she just really dives into her music and her guitar like it’s part of her and like it’s a big ocean worth swimming in. She’s fearless.
Guitars Just In
While other teenagers were, “sneaking alcohol and going out to parties” Emily Edrosa was holed up in her room downloading songs illegally and teaching herself to play using guitar tab on the internet.
“I think it’s just that general black sheep point-of-view where you’re like, ‘You guys are all sheep … I’m so original, look at me sitting here angsty with my guitar’, ” she laughs.
[Imposter syndrome] is a really huge factor in the under-representation of women in so many areas of music… I’m a woman who has achieved quite a lot in music and I still suffer from it really badly - just second guessing everything and the general feeling of ‘I’m not good enough’.
The Complete Rock And Pop Guitar Player Book 1
“I’ve seen so many [guy] bands play garage rock music … then a girl group will come up and they’re playing a lot more complicated stuff and people go, ‘She’s not even that good at guitar.’ … I think that’s probably what drove me to be, I think, quite good at the guitar ... I felt like I had to strive to be better because I was a girl.
