Eric Mardis – Tom Anderson Electric Guitars – Cobra S – Shorty – Natural Orange Burst with Binding
This Cobra “S” Shorty is a hybrid tone monster! It combines classic S-style comfort with Gibson-inspired specifications: a mahogany body with a flamed maple top, 24.75″ scale length, and two humbuckers. The genius 5 way switch allows for incredible versatility, offering glassy Strat or muscular Les Paul tones. The even-taper neck profile with medium-jumbo frets feels effortless and addictive. Truly the best of both worlds!

Marnie Orville – Santa Cruz Guitars – 2026 H13 – 13-Fret – Used
A unique and beautiful take on a classic design. You get the benefits of 12-fret giving you more low end, while getting an extra accessible fret making it great for a capo. It has a nice soft V-neck on this one, slotted headstock and great aesthetics. What’s not to love?!

Clark Russell – Collings Electric Guitars – I-30 LC – Blonde – 60s Neck Carve
Anyone who has picked up a Collings already knows whatever they pick up will be some degree of incredible–but this one felt like a step beyond for me. Working here, I’m very familiar and take their quality for granted, so the fact this stood out even amongst that says something! Amazingly lightweight, fret perfection, and a sound that blows me away whether it’s plugged in or just playing acoustically. The ThroBak P90s are an absolute gem that I usually employ for a jazz sound, but have an immense amount of character and bite that sounds great for rock styles as well. All-in-all, this would be a highlight in anyone’s collection, even if you already have all the Collings you think you’d ever need.

Brandell Chalmers – Gibson Electric Guitars – 2022 Custom Shop ’61 SG – Used
I love this guitar. Pairing it’s double Alnico III un-potted Gibson “Custombucker” PAF-style pickups w/ a Marshall JCM 800 is THE sound I’m after when looking for something brain tickling, chest thumping and hair raisingly tasty to caress my eardrums, as well as the rest of the neighborhoods! (Maybe I should also mention we have a VERY NICE used Marshall JCM 800 half stack in stock…?!) Expertly setup and well taken care of, this guitar is ready for whatever you want to throw at it! You won’t want to put it down!

Matt Harmon – Bruce Guitars – The Jayne – Aged Black – Bigsby
This is by far my favorite Bruce guitar to date. Matt K had this in his hands at Fretboard Summit and as soon as I saw it I said “SOLD”. We literally were seconds before another dealer coming after it. This guitar feels great in the hands, I really like the sound of this guitar unplugged and pickups sound great with this build. My eye is drawn to the expertly designed pickup rings as it flows with the guard making this a true blend of vintage and modern appointments. I’m really happy we snagged this from FBS and the next owner will love it.

Susan Willits – Leo Posch Acoustic Guitars – 00 Rosewood #171
This Rosewood 00, from local builder Leo Posch, is a gorgeous guitar decked out with some of my favorite adornments, including the maple binding, rope purfling and abalone rosette, along with one of the very most elegant headstock inlays. It may be a small body build, but it packs a punch, with plenty of volume and a clear, rich, balanced tone that you can feel in your chest when you play it.

Matt Kappenman – Collings Electric Guitars – 71 – Jet Black – Lollar T-Style Pickups
I continue to be floored by these Collings 71 especially the t-style ones. With a pull of the tone knob the pickups go from parallel to series switch when in the middle position for this lush, warm sound that I want to just live in right at the edge of break up. An amazing solid-body electric.
