Matt’s decided to slash some prices on several of our favorite instruments… starting with this 40′s era Martin tenor ukulele.

Easily the finest uke we’ve ever held and one of the most fun instruments to play in the entire shop. (Note: Bob’s heart will break not a little bit when it finds a new home).

Was $1300 – NOW, $1000. Includes fresh Aquila strings and a nice older case.

Are you a pick person? You need to check out these solid Rosewood picks from John Pearse.

These picks are light in weight, but thick tones emerge from any stringed instrument they’re used on. They feel great between your fingers and are easily modified should you feel the need to tweak them to your own specifications.
Seriously, these babies are NICE. $3 ea. They’ll go quick, come on in and try ‘em out.

Just got a pair of swell flat tops in from Recording King. The Dreadnaught boasts solid Adirondack Spruce top and solid African Mahogany back and sides, an ebony fingerboard and bridge, one piece Mahogany neck, Grover sta-tite tuners and oodles of panache for $800.

The triple-O 12 fret has a solid spruce top, 1 3/4″ nut, Mahogany back and sides and a playability that will make many a man swoon with delight. $300 (that’s not a typo, folks)

Either one is well-equipped to deliver in spades if you’re a fingerstyle person or prefer a plectrum. Come on by and give ‘em a go. You’ll be delighted.

Are you a fancy cowboy? Have ever wanted to look like one? Now you can – with this amazing ‘fancy cowboy shirt’. Yes, those are shooting stars on the collar and yoke.

Only one left… hurry in.

Just in: ’78 Tele. Nice. No lightweight at 8.14 lb, but loads of spanky goodness.

We’ve got a nice crop of archtop guitars in right now. Stop by and drive one…

Saturday. Bob is hell-bent on moving some merch. Come on in and let’s get you set up with a stringed thing, kickass amp, or an off-kilter pedal.
Remember, music will cure most ills.

We’ve got a good stock of gently used pedals in at exceptionally good prices. Got something to trade? Bring it in and let’s talk…

In the midst of a deep cleanse, we uncovered a pair of 10″ speakers that need re-coning. They originally came out of a 4 x 10 cabinet that had seen a lot of use through the years. We replaced these with new speakers for the owner.

These guys have no identifying branding on them, other than the numbers in the pic. They do have fairly massive magnets and appear healthy in all respects except for the paper cones, which look like they suffered the same fate as Pete Townsend’s 4 x 10 cabinet, but we don’t know exactly why these guys are in the shape they’re in. They worked fine in the cabinet, but sounded like speakers with torn cones (well, duh).

We’d love to fix them, but don’t have time to do it. If you’re DIY inclined or just want to save some money on a nice pair of 10′s that need a little love in the cone department, you can snag these for $30 (cash) for the pair. More cool stuff coming as we tidy up the back room…

Strat fans, we know you’re out there. Local builder David Everitt has assembled a spectacular example of this iconic guitar. Components include: Fender 62 reissue body, USA Custom Guitars slab board neck with soft ‘V’ profile, Kinman pickups, Callaham hardware – just a ‘best-of-the-best’ assortment of components.
If you’re not familiar with Chris Kinman or Bill Callaham and their incredible components you need to check them out.
As for how it plays/sounds, these adjectives spring to mind: creamy, effortless, sparkling, kick-ass. Absolutely spot-on intonation and feel. You don’t often find this kind of workmanship on production guitars, maybe from the Custom Shop, but not the Standards.
We’re pricing it at $1800 which includes a tweed gig bag. This is the second guitar we’ve had from David Everitt – the first was a ’52 Tele (ash, maple boat-neck, Kinmans, Callaham, etc.) that sold to a member of Railroad Earth who proclaimed it “way too good to pass up” and left town with it.
