Showcasing a few sweet deals we've recently added out on the floor here at DTS!

First up, we've got a 3-piece Questlove Breakbeat kit being sold with a Piccolo snare. This setup is a great option for both young drummers and as a portable street/travel kit!

Finally, saving our in-store favorite for last, we've got a Groove Percussion 3-piece Cocktail Kit with cymbal, hi-hits, and long drum mounted kick pedal. This kit is unbelievably fun to play and sounds great!!

Are you feeling Supersonic? We've got some sweet signature Semi-hollowbody Electric Guitars that helped shape the rock 'n roll sound of the 90s!

First, we have the Masterbilt Gem Archer Sheraton, which features a 5-ply maple/poplar body, maple centerblock, and one-piece mahogany neck. This model also includes a pair of USA-made Gibson Mini Humbucker pickups, producing a bright and focused output.

Next up, we've got the Bonehead Riviera in a beautiful To***co Sunburst finish, featuring a 5-ply maple body, solid maple centerblock, and a 3-piece maple neck. The pair of Alnico Classic PRO humbuckers delivers the rich, vintage tone inextricably tied to Paul 'Bonehead' Arthur's driving rhythm work that helped define Oasis.

Whether you're a Britpop fanatic or you're just looking for a well-rounded electric guitar, you can come check these two out in-store!

It's Martin Monday - Today, we're showcasing a sweet trio of Acoustic Guitars we currently have on the floor!

First up is the 000-15M Streetmaster Acoustic. This specific model is made in Nazareth, PA, and is a favorite of ours here in-store at DTS.

Next, we've got the GP-X2E Ziricote Acoustic featuring HPL back and sides, solid sapele top, and E1 electronics. This guitar offers a great balanced tone and a beautiful finish.

Finally, we have the 000JRE Sapele Jr. Acoustic with E1 Electronics, built-in tuner, and Satin finish. This guitar is proof that big tone can come in a smaller package.

We have these three plus 28 other Martin models, alongside a range of Yahama, Gibson, and others in stock.

The Gibson Hummingbird is legendary for its versatility; it is equally at home strumming first-position chords and delivering soaring lead lines. Now the legendary Hummingbird Standard is available in a new version with rosewood back and sides that has all of the playing and sonic characteristics you’d expect from the world-renowned square-shouldered acoustic but with slightly fuller bass response and overtone complexity due to the rosewood body.

Check out this guitar and more contemporary interpretations of classic models feature popular updates such as slimmer necks, new woods, friendlier fingerboards, and cutaways in Gibson Modern Acoustic Collection. Visit us today at Downtown Sounds Workers Co-op!
