Josh Baldridge – Fender Guitars – American Ultra Telecaster RW – Texas TeaI think this new Tele looks amazing. It is a black metallic finish that changes in a subtle and cool way depending on the lighting. We had one back at the beginning of the year and it was gone quickly, so it is nice to get another in the door. Check out our collection … Continue reading April 2020 – Mass Street Staff Picks

Josh Baldridge – Bourgeois Acoustic Guitars – D – Vintage I appreciate how Bourgeois’ Asymmetrical Bracing Pattern works on this guitar.
