Eric Mardis –  Collings Acoustic Guitars – OM2H – Cutaway
I think this guitar could replace three acoustics I currently own. It is equally at home with a flatpick or fingers and the cutaway makes a huge difference for lead work or extended chordal playing. I had a great time going through different modes of bluegrass flatpicking, Django-inspired jazz, and intricate fingerstyle stuff. Astounding versatility!

Marnie Orville – Martin Acoustic Guitars – 1934 0-17 – Vintage
A fantastic 0-17. Easy playing, dry response, great for flatpicking or finger-style. This guitar is begging to be taken to a good old time jam!

Isaiah Sibi – Bruce Guitars – Letter Series T – Faded Surf Green
Bruce’s Letter Series T guitar not only looks fantastic with its tastefully aged finish, but feels great with the carved V/C neck profile and the nice, lightweight roasted sugar pine body. The Gemini pickups Micah used sound fantastic and allow for hum canceling playing. I especially love the flower detail that adds a unique pop of flare to the instrument.

Susan Willits – Collings Mandolins – 2012 MF – Honey Amber – Used
It’s always fun when we have a Collings mandolin in the store and we happen to have a beautiful 2012 Collings MF in Amber Honey finish. It’s so clean it looks brand new, with gorgeous wood all around on this mando. As you would expect, it plays perfectly and sounds amazing with loads of sustain and clear articulation between the notes. This one is definitely a winner!
