These "Listen to the sound of this new capo" ads are great.

RIP Travis Wammack. He came to the shop a couple times. Nice as can be. Also just a burner of a player. Sometimes you can tell someone is a major talent before you know who he is, or even hear him. He was one of those kinds of people.

He played with everybody.

The lights of Muscle Shoals will burn a little dimmer.

Our deepest condolences to the family of Jennifer Stewart Gorum Brock. She and her brother, Slick, are tjis shop's family by extension since its inception. Jennifer never knew a stranger. She was one of my students for a while, and ran the restaurant next-door for a bit. Great sense of humor, great soul, great person.

This shop is super fun. A Moog theramin, a celebrity-owned Farfisa. Some killer amps, including the Two Rock. A VHT Dumble copy. Eastman L00 with soundport on upper bout. The coolest looking modern SG. Lots of basses and four resonators. A good bit of PA gear. New, used, and vintage stuff in many categories.
Plus, we are almost completely caught up on holiday repair!

Just found out yesterday our old pal and student, KI, passed. He was a consummate jokester. A true character. And from what I am told, not a very good golfer. I loved his stories about his dog boots. I never saw him without a smile on his face. About this time of year, he would always bring us Christmas treats. And one occasion, we asked that he not bring us anymore. We were overloaded with sugar. Jeff told him to bring us some broccoli next time.

Well, next time rode around. He came in with these dark chocolate bonbons. When we took a bite, we discovered they were chocolate covered, brussels sprouts. "Needs salt, don't it?"

Rest easy, Ken. You never needed salt.

Gibson overload! Don't know how nice you have been, but these beauties will straighten you out.

You are likely listening to this on the telephone, but in person this thing sounds great. A regal square neck, RD30MS. Unleash your inner Rezo phonic beast. This is a stage worthy rig straight out of the box.
I had to play a gospel song because I need all the help I can get playing this thing. But hopefully you get the point.

Gibson Hummingbirds always get a lot of attention here. This is a 2024 complete with the case candy, LR Baggs sysytem with volume/tone mounted in the sound hole. Not a scratch. Come see for yourself.
