Tony MacAlpine is the self-titled tenth studio album by guitarist Tony MacAlpine, released on June 14, 2011 through Favored Nations Entertainment (United States) and King Records ^[3] (Japan, Korea and Taiwan). The album is MacAlpine's first solo release in ten years following Chromaticity (2001), and the first to feature his extensive use of seven- and eight-string guitars—a staple of his playing which began in the days he spent with Planet X throughout the 2000s.
