Rockbridge Guitars I get to play music on some great instruments and I am fortunate to own a couple that make me sound as good as I can. I am now endorsing Rockbridge Guitars and I look forward to a long relationship with them. Great luthiers and great people, and let me tell you they are absolutely world class. I have never been more impressed with the sound, look, and feel of a guitar than these hand-made beauties from Virginia. As soon as I heard one of their guitars (from across a hotel lobby), I had to investigate and 5 months later I have one of my own to drool over. I am excited to be working with great new guitar builders, artists really, and a great new guitar (or two). Check them out, you'll be happy you did!
D'Addario Strings The very best strings on the planet! By choice, I have always used D'Addario strings on my guitars, electric and acoustic. I use D'Addario on my banjos, mandolins, bass guitar, and resophonic guitar. You can't find a better string for the money, period. They sound great right out of the package, last a long time and keep the intonation quality better than any string I've ever used. Stop by the website to find they also make great straps, drum heads and other musical instrument supplies and apparel. My son uses Evans drum heads and we both use Planet Waves accessories. Quality for a reasonable price. Way to go, D'Addario!
Fishman Transducers Getting the best tone out of an instrument is difficult. Getting the best tone out of an amplified acoustic instrument is extremely difficult. Fishman is up to and conquers the challenge. The Pocket Blender duet rig I have in my Gallagher and in my Huss and Dalton, is the best I've ever used or heard. And even better, I can afford it! The natural acoustic sound accomplished in several different configurations at Fishman is a marvel on it's own, but to make them all affordable to the average buyer while being the best for those of us who perform for a living is excellent. I get many compliments on my tone and even more satisfying... compliments on my playing because folks can finally hear me. Imagine that, a musician being heard.
First Quality Musical Supplies I have been a customer of these folks for some time. They have a great selection of musical instruments of many different makes and price ranges as well as accessories and parts for the ones they stock and others. Fair prices, quality goods and wonderful service... what else can you ask for? Well, maybe a catalogue. Or just click the link above and visit their website for their on-line catalogues, product info, secure order pages and more. You'll be glad you did! Thanx FQMS!
Gibson USA I grew up playing on many instruments of a few different brands, Guitars, Mandolins, Banjos and Basses, we had several... but Gibson was the name we saw most often. Why? Quality and affordability. Acoustic, electric, simple, fancy, no matter.....Gibson was a name you could trust. Honestly, along about the time of the first fuel crisis in America around the mid 1960's to 1980 and some beyond, many major instrument builders went through a "make money and sacrifice quality" period, including Gibson, Martin, Fender and many more. The consumers were not fooled. After the lessons were learned, they again began making high-quality instruments. Gibson is doing exactly that. Their brand new acoustic instruments are being compared to vintage collector pieces because of the quality of tone, construction, and design. Check 'em out!
