Looking for a budget friendly guitar?

We have had several folks stop by in search of that first guitar. We searched and found a great beginner acoustic.

We set it up fresh with low action so it plays as easy as possible for a beginner. Only $211 and it’s ready to play.

If you have been thinking about starting to learn guitar this summer, this may be the one for you.

Stop by the shop and give it a strum.

Carolina Bluegrass Style Thanks for stopping by the shop. We enjoyed having y’all in the store. Come and pick with us again next time you’re in town. 🙂

While on the road The Style had an opportunity to stop in at PaPaw Odell's Music Store in Cleveland, TN. A great little store with a big selection of new and used instruments. We were even invited to sit in and pick with their Saturday Morning Jam. We had a great time. If you are in the area be sure to stop in. Tell them The Style sent you.

Our work doesn’t stop when we leave the shop. Early mornings at home, cutting out parts before we even head into town. Today we are cutting a bridge plate to go into an old LG guitar that’s in the shop getting repaired.

We do whatever it takes to make sure every instrument gets the love it deserves so it can play its very best again.

✨This one’s special. 1967 Gretsch 6117 Double Anniversary Sunburst

Built in December 1967, this is one of the very last Gretsches made under the Gretsch family before Baldwin took over. Still got that true Brooklyn-era soul in it. Sunburst finish with real vintage patina, honest binding shrinkage, and all the little marks that show it’s lived a good life.

True piece of guitar history that stills wants to be played.
