Marnie Orville – Waterloo by Collings – 2016 WL-12 – Used
My favorite guitar to play in the store right now. Nice punchy mids, and the saddle spacing makes it really comfortable for fingerstyle.

Mike Horan – Bourgeois Acoustic Guitars – Large Soundhole OM – Madagascar Rosewood
This Bourgeois delivers a big guitar sound in a smaller, OM package. Great for anyone wanting to downsize to a smaller guitar, and the Madagascar rosewood back and sides are beautiful.

Matt Harmon – Collings Electric Guitars – I-35 LC Vintage – Tobacco SB – Bigsby
The highlight of the Namm show for me was the Collings booth. Getting a chance to talk one on one with Mark, Nully, Aaron, and Clint has boosted my excitement for their electric guitar builds so much I haven’t felt this way in years! The current team at Collings is truly unrivaled and this I-35 will take you down a path of amazement when you play it and subtly take in all the details of this awesome guitar.

Isaiah Sibi – Atkin Guitars – 2024 LG-47 – Used
The made–in-the-UK Atkin LG-47 is a vintage inspired smaller body guitar that would be a great back up tool in a jam. Backing off allows the guitar to display its pleasant, sparkling high-end that sounds good when flatpicking or fingerpicking.

The LG-47 has a comfortable C shaped neck and factory aged finish to give it the nice vintage look.

Susan Willits – Nechville Banjos – 2009 Custom Phantom – Used
We have an extremely nice Nechville Custom Phantom here in the shop. I haven’t had the opportunity to play many Nechvilles, so it’s a treat to have one right outside my office. I really love the tone of this banjo, very responsive, clear, round, punchy, no thin high-end with this one! On top of that, it’s beautiful, and it has wood binding on the neck (I love wood binding). This one is a winner!

Matt KappenmanCollings Acoustic Guitars – OM2H A Traditional Series – Vintage Satin Sunburst
The dark vintage sunburst finish option from the Collings Traditional Series is one of my all time favorite looks. We sent photo reference of some of our favorite vintage guitars when collaborating with Collings on this darker burst when it first came out, and every time we get one in I’m blown away with how it looks in person. Combine that look with some premium tone woods and you have an incredible, lifetime guitar.
