Coming up this Friday evening at the shop – Stephanie Nilles (and pals). Last time she was here, men wept like little children, women embraced their inner-vixen, and dogs spoke fluent, though heavily latin-accented, English.
She’s quite a force. You will never forgive yourself if you miss her. Friday night on our humble little stage, beginning sometime between 8 and 8:30 pm. Zonga!

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.

Don’t leave your instrument exposed to the elements (the elements can be so unkind). Choose tweed fabric, hard-shell, gig bag, doesn’t matter, but if you love your guitar, fiddle, banjo – whatever – show it some love and keep it safe.
We’ve got you covered…
