NEW PODCAST EPISODE! 🎸

This week I sit down with Alex Hart from Still Flow, Samaritan Snare, and AARDVAARK to talk about songwriting, the Lancaster music scene, releasing their new solo single “Lip Stain,” and why rock music is doing just fine.

We also somehow ended up talking about Phish, Guitar Hero, Pokémon, and recording albums while playing LEGO Star Wars.

Full episode out now. Link in bio.

If you’ve been chasing that elusive, woody, harmonically rich semi-hollow or fully hollow tone, the Tone Tailors team has some incredible news for you. We are officially obsessed with the newly refined Heritage Standard II Collection H-535 and H-530 models**!

Handcrafted at the historic. 225 Parsons Street factory in Kalamazoo, Michigan, these guitars perfectly capture vintage American soul while bringing modern precision to today's working players.

Both models feature beautifully carved laminated curly maple tops and backs finished in gorgeous, breathable nitrocellulose gloss lacquer. Heritage upgraded the entire Standard II lineup with an incredibly fast-playing, comfortable **'60s C neck profile** and a bound rosewood fretboard with 22 Jescar medium-jumbo frets. They look, feel, and play like absolute dreams.

The real magic is under the hood. Heritage is now winding their premium pickups entirely in-house, custom-voicing them specifically for these body shapes:

The H-535 (Semi-Hollow Icon): Loaded with 225 Standard Humbuckers utilizing roughcast Alnico 5 magnets. They move effortlessly from smooth, velvety jazz warmth to biting, searing rock clarity. Even better? Heritage added **push/pull pots for series/parallel switching**, giving you sparkling, single-coil-like textures with zero volume loss!
The H-530 (Fully Hollow Weightless Wonder): This open-construction thinline beauty breathes naturally and features in-house **225 Standard P90s**. They pack an organic, touch-sensitive punch with deep lows, growling mids, and crisp, bell-like highs perfect for blues, roots, and rock.

Whether you want the feedback-resistant sustain of the semi-hollow H-535 or the airy, acoustic resonance of the fully hollow H-530, these guitars represent the absolute pinnacle of Kalamazoo build quality. They aren't just instruments; they are lifers.

We are working on getting more of these in stock. Drop us a line if you want to know when they arrive!

Some PRS guitars are rare.
Some are collectible.
And then there’s Sprayer’s Choice. 🎨🔥

These finishes happen when PRS factory artists go completely off-menu and create something unique using premium tops and their own artistic instincts. No standard run. No copy-paste colors. Sometimes truly one-of-one.

This Custom 24 came through the shop used, and the finish is absolutely wild in person. Blacked out with green sparkle, satin neck, and features pulled from higher-end Core models. The kind of guitar that stops people mid-sentence when they see it.

If you’ve been chasing a specific PRS finish, neck carve, pickup combo, or dream guitar you saw online years ago, hit us up. We’ve got access to PRS available-now inventory including rare Sprayer’s Choice models that never make it to the average wall.

Two blue pedals. Two completely different worlds of reverb. 🌌🎸

The Strymon BlueSky V2 is the ultimate “do-it-all” reverb machine. Plate, room, spring, shimmer… it’s the Swiss Army knife of ambient guitar tones.

The Cloudburst? Totally different animal. That Ensemble effect turns your guitar into a cinematic wall of sound that honestly has to be heard in person to fully understand.

Whether you’re building a worship rig, ambient board, studio setup, or just chasing inspiring tones, both of these pedals absolutely deliver.

Which one are you taking home? 👀
