The Gretsch 'Honey Dipper' Special G9202 Bell Bronze resonator round-neck guitar is in stock!

From the Gretsch Roots Collection page:

"Add some color to your sound with the limited-release G9202 Honey Dipper Special. This round-neck resonator guitar has all the same features as the wildly popular G9201 Honey Dipper, with the additions of aged white fingerboard binding, screened headstock graphic and a weathered “Bell Bronze" finish.
The vital feature of all Gretsch resonator guitars is the all-new Gretsch “Ampli-Sonic” diaphragm (resonator cone). Hand-spun in Eastern Europe from nearly 99-percent pure aluminum, the Ampli-Sonic diaphragm yields an impressive quality and volume of tone."

The Merida 'Cardenas' C-20CACES

It's nice touches like this contemporary 'concentric circles' rosette that set Merida guitars apart from the crowd, coupled with a chamfered armrest, a feature rarely found on guitars like the C-20 costing thousands less!

Solid mahogany back and sides, solid Sitka spruce top, and Fishman preamp.

Some things require opening your eyes just a little more to see all the details...
or perhaps just your ears?

Either way, Taylor's fantastic 214e Deluxe is back in stock, although never for long. Looks, sound, and a price that's easier to see than this guitar on a dark stage!

**Just in: A used Taylor 214e Deluxe in Natural/Rosewood! (not pictured).

A lot for a little

Yamaha's new JR2S gives you the exceptional tone of a solid spruce top guitar in a diminutive, travel friendly package. 
With it's 21-1/4" scale length, body depth just over 3.5", and a familiar nut width of 1-11/16", you'd be hard pressed to find another 'travel guitar' this good in the sub-$200 price range.

The reflected snow light almost drowns out all the brightly colored Yamahas we've just gotten in at the shop!
The redesigned FG/FS series guitars not only look good but also sound great with scalloped bracing for more volume and presence in a familiar Yamaha body shape and feel.

Just in from Martin Guitars:
GPC-28e
Their 'Grand Performance Acoustic'
