Battery amps

Little heavy compared to some others but has “real” amp sound. Onboard battery is wet cell I think so you want to keep it cha...

Little Sister

Welcome little Sister - got mine on Friday - amazing! I dig the mirror polish and the satin finish neck. The proportions are perfect. I could hear her singing before I freed her from the box. What a voice! Congrats Todd on the new shop. This Elektro is a perfect compliment to her husky brother. — ...

New Hawaiian music from Italy

Aloha Y’all- The local independent radio station in Tucson has an excellent Hawaiian music show that features a nice mix of contemporary, traditional and hapa-Haouli. A couple weeks ago they played a song by the Waikiki Leaks. Wow! These folks really know how to do it. New to me, I did a quick sea...

SOLD! Please close bOb

Folks - I'm on a mission. Gotta get it down to one guitar, maybe two. So time to part with another one. 1960ish Rickenbacker 100 with the famous horseshoe pickup. Plays well, sounds good currently C6th. OHSC is in good shape only missing a piece of leather trim. Good deal for a Ric horseshoe. $400, ...

Now $750 - 1950 Epiphone Electar D-8 Consolette

I was gonna hang on to this one because it is so beautiful and was one of the first steels I bought. When I recently saw one on Reverb for what seemed like a lot of money I thought I would offer this one at a fair price. Overall condition is good to very good. Finish and decal are beautiful, honest ...
