Tough to choose just one item per person this month as we’ve got a lot of great new and used gear in the store…some new Gretsch solid bodies, some stellar Collings with custom appointments that will appeal to vintage enthusiasts, and some crazy, inexpensive used guitars like this inexpensive Kent. But below you’ll find our picks for August, the cream o’ the crop in our opinion…take a gander:
Talk about a flame Maple top! This Bulldog is killer.
Amazing! This is an outstanding instrument on all counts.
The best of the best
Jim Baggett – Collings D1ASB Varnish
This is a great guitar!
Brazilian!
Tim Nelson – Collings D2HBaaaA Brazilian
This is a really outstanding guitar. It’s well balanced and good and loud, making it a perfect dreadnought for flatpicking. The Brazilian is about as straight as you will find on modern guitar.
This Martin GPCPA1 is a great player and made for performing!
This newly designed Martin guitar will really make Taylor fans second guess themselves. The neck on it is very user-friendly and a joy to play. The body is reminiscent of a Taylor Grand Auditorium, but the depth in tone is marvelous and will effortlessly please the traditional Martin enthusiast.
Brian's new favorite amp
Brian Soden – Germino Club 40 Style II 212 Combo
Being a huge fan of The Black Crowes, Gov’t Mule and Allman Brothers, I can’t help but make this amp my employee pick for August. It’s pure roots rock/classic rock bliss. This new Style II cab Greg offers just has something special going on with it. I told Greg that last week and he totally agreed with me. It’s like the fairy of killer amps came by and sprinkled pixie dust on it! Absolutely not problem getting that famous Duane Allman howling sustain and Warren Haynes grind. Plus, cleans up nicely with a surprising amount of sparkle!
Snazzy Wilcox pedal steel
Jason Jones – Wilcox SD10 Pedal Steel
Great player, very cool looking too – a great opportunity to get a solid pedal steel.
Super cool but I'm not seeing the samurai here...
Isaac Flynn – Yamaha Flying Samurai
It’s incredibly cool, and it plays great for a $250 guitar. The neck and head stock would also serve as a great hockey stick if I ever quit playing guitar.
Slick!
Anne Tangeman – Gretsch Corvette
Seriously sleek guitar, killer sound, with a Bigsby, at a nice price. I LOVE this guitar!
That's Brian's Pez dispenser in the back (and his foot actually)
Chucho says this is THE boost to have – super small and essential. Though he claims to have a pedal board, I have never seen this dog play an electric.
