Eric Mardis – Gibson Custom Shop – 1964 ES-335 TDC Historic Reissue VOS – 2023 – Cherry – Used
I’m mad for vintage Gibsons and these custom shop models hit a definite sweet spot for me without the vintage price tag. I dig the unpotted Alnico III Custombuckers and the neck feels amazing! This one sports a super clean VOS finish in the classic Heritage Cherry. Knockout looks and crazy good tone!

Clark Russell – King Tone – miniFUZZ V2 – Black
Picked up this pedal for myself recently and it has been an astounding addition to my board. Customizable bias control allows for a range of fuzz tones from bender, spitty fuzzes, to roaring hard-clipped distortion. The outside dip switches (yes, outside for easy access! no internal fluff!) allow for even more tonal options and fuzz types that are so much fun to play with. If I’m needing a raucous, gritty fuzz or a smoothed out, fat muff it’s all there. Along with all of this, it’s one of the most responsive fuzz pedals I’ve had the pleasure of playing through allowing me to actually utilize the volume control on my guitar! Overall, a fantastic piece of kit from KingTone that belongs on any guitarist’s or bassist’s board worth their salt.

Mike Horan – Iris Guitars – MS-00 – 14-Fret – Adirondack – Tobacco Burst with Ivoroid Binding – Firestripe – Flower Pot
Light and punchy, this guitar delivers the goods. An absolute steal at this price for a small-shop American-made instrument.

Isaiah Sibi – Gibson Guitars – 1955 Country Western – SJN – Vintage
This guitar is an excellent rhythm machine! Perfect for backing up vocals with its wonderfully even, clear string response and warmth, or backing up those good old fiddle tunes we all love so much with that good old big Gibson sound. This guitar is especially cool because it is the first year the natural top Southern Jumbo was rebranded as the “Country Western”. The in-house setup that has been done makes this guitar play great, and it is ready for some action!

Susan Willits – Summit Mandolins – 2003 A-100S – Used
We have a really nice 2003 Summit A-100S mandolin that has a great punchy sound for chopping. It has a super clear tone with a nice low end and round, full high notes. There’s nothing tinny about the tone of this mando. This is truly a wonderful mandolin for anyone looking for a good quality, American made mandolin under $3000.

Matt Kappenman – Circa Guitars by John Slobod – 2021 OM-18 – Sunburst – Used
It’s always a treat when we get in used instruments of quality from single-builder shops. This is the first of John Slobod’s guitars that I’ve gotten the chance to play and this is a balanced, warm and expressive orchestra model. Don’t miss the chance to check this rather rare boutique acoustic out!
