There’s sooooo much important stuff in this slideshow. It all fits together somehow. If only my old pal Harry Seldon was still here, he’d be able to see the pattern. Miss that guy.

ORPHAN IS NOW A GUILD DEALER!! Ladies and germs, ever since I saw Bowie playing a 12-string Guild jumbo a thousand years ago, Dwighty has been a devotee. One of Dwighty’s best friends is a ‘93 Guild— the only guitar Dwighty ever bought new. Beside the new models, we have some very sweet vintage acoustics. The cherry one is absolutely a BFF in waiting. Come!

Eezy doesn’t care that Ozzy died, because cat’s already live where Ozzy went. 🤘🏻✌🏻

Soooooo many of my questions have been answered by this photo from 2000.

Some fun things hanging around. This blindingly red Hamer USA Special from ‘81 is a very rad and underrated guitar. We also have a super slick Squier MIJ 80s Bullet which miraculously still has the pup covers. One of the best guitars ever. Also a bunch of growly vintage amps to play with.

Thanks to everyone who bought hats and tees. We just got to send some proceeds over to CHiPS food pantry in Park Slope. They’re a super great group over there doing great things. Ask the google about them. They don’t seem to be on IG.

This is an absolutely amazing way to spend $109.99. Just come and sit in the Chair of Truth and mess around for a while on the lele. You’ll go home with one. Instrument of the summer!

So snuggly and sexy like Dracula in his coffin. Yes, this rock ramrod is for sale and awesome, but really it makes Dwighty wanna talk about unusual guitars. The V is a pretty terrible couch guitar shape-wise, but obvs rules running around. What to do? Well, Dwighty just wants to point out that you don’t need to own a guitar forever until you die. Just buy this, run around with it until it gets you some sweaty action, then sell it. This mentality leads to a full and varied life. It is also why we buy and trade guitars at Orphan. So, go forth into the eternally flowing river of guitars that is this planet and scoop one up. Catch and release is good karma.
