Brian Soden – Collings Electric Guitars – 290 DC S – Aged Oxblood
I’ve been excited for this one to arrive since the day I spec’d it out. And let me tell you…it was worth the wait. This guitar possesses everything you expect from a Collings solid-body electric guitar. Lightweight, incredibly resonant, balanced in your lap or with a strap, and mojo for days. The aged Oxblood finish absolutely knocks me out. Yowza!

Jack Bryan – Tom Anderson Guitars – Li’l Angel – Purple Burst with Binding
This guitar is a shredder’s dream. It’s lightweight, super easy to play, sports a Floyd Rose, and it looks killer. Did I mention it also sounds amazing? The gang down at Tom Anderson can seemingly do no wrong and this is just another fine example of the great work they do out there. Come check this bad boy out!

Matt Harmon – Kauer Guitars – Banshee Starry Night – Used
Another great example of an offset guitar from Kauer. I’ve worked on plenty of new and vintage Firebirds and Kauer’s builds are truly on a higher level of quality control than Gibson currently produces.

Isaiah Sibi – Suhr Guitars – Classic S – Surf Green – Maple Fingerboard – SSCII Equipped
The guitar plays like butter with the smooth satin neck, the effortless Gotoh 510 tremolo bridge, and the medium tall stainless steel frets which will allow for a long life of play. Suhr’s SSCII electronics remove the 60-cycle hum usually heard from single coil pickups, making this guitar perfect for the gigging and recording musician.

Susan Willits – Collings Mandolins – 2008 MF5 – Used
We have a Collings mandolin in the store, and it’s a winner! Wonderful punch, (I love punch in a mandolin) with a clear sweet tone and a lot of volume, this 2008 Collings MF5 is almost too much fun to play. All of the wood is beautiful, but the flame on the back of the neck is absolutely mesmerizing, plus it has one of my favorite headstock inlays. If you’ve ever thought about getting a Collings mandolin you should definitely check this one out.

Matt KappenmanPittman Amps – Kansas City Series – Paseo 5F2-A 1×10″ Combo
A good playing tele and a tweed amp…that’s pretty much all I need to have fun with an electric rig and this Paseo from Pittman knocks that tweed sound out of the park. It’s such a treat having these amps in the store, not only because they sound fantastic but I love featuring a local builder that shares our taste in great sounding amps.
