Looks like the Martin truck just pulled up to our back door with some of this year's order! 

TOP ROW-FIRST 5: 

00-15M, 000-15M, 00L-17e, CEO-7, D-18*SOLD*

BOTTOM ROW-FIRST 4:

000-16GT, 0017S*SOLD*, 0015e, 00015M

And if that weren't enough, we just got in another Taylor Academy series guitar-amazing bargain for a full sized, full heel Taylor with electronics:

**SOLD**

An economical answer to the vintage instruments it's modeled after: 'The Loar' LH278 hollow body electric just in.

                 An easter egg for you: Kala 'KA GTR PLR' guitar just in but you'll have to come in and find it... ;)

YAMAHA - MADE IN JAPAN

Yamaha has always been a worldwide import brand but to us their 'true' roots harken back to their early days with the renowned 'red label' guitars reading 'Nippon Gakki', designating that Yamaha guitars were made in Japan.

Over the years Yamaha has maintained a smaller production house in Japan designated for the production of these meticulously crafted instruments featuring exacting manufacturing techniques with advanced materials processing. Check out the L-series guitars page for more:

From Yamaha: 

'This model offers a bit more of a vintage look. Ornaments have been left off to reduce weight. Among the "L"Series guitars, this simple design offers even greater response.

      •  Jumbo Body and Vintage Look

      •  Solid Engelman Spruce Top Treated with A.R.E.

      •  Solid Rosewood Back & Sides

      •  Mahogany and Padauk 5ply Neck

The vintage style brass tuners found on all #26 model guitars present these instruments with a classic look.'

WMC is proud to have one the nicest Yamaha acoustic guitars on the market in stock! 

Can't say we've encountered a string 'save' quite like this:

As they say, 'Necessity is the mother of invention'...or you could just stop by

for a new banjo string or set of strings. ;)

Classic songs aside, we've got'em and it's official: 

WMC is now an authorized K&K pickup dealer! 

We haven't been excited enough about a new line of pickups for the shop in years. As luck would have it, there's a very nice Larrivee on our floor with a 'Pure Pickup' already installed should you want a listen. Find out why so many pickups on the market just don't have what the K&K's do by checking out their site here. http://www.kksound.com/instruments/acousticguitar.php

YAMAHA GUITARS NOW IN STOCK!

Lots in today, including store fav's like the sunburst FS830 and a few APX500III's.

No, the 110e isn't shy or throwing you shade...

It's just so happy to be wearing its lovely western walnut

back and sides, now standard on all Taylor 100 series guitars!

The new Taylor 150e has all the goods in one affordable package!

'For years, Taylor’s sleek, ultra-playable necks have helped define a great 12-string experience. The 12-string Dreadnought 150e fits that signature playability and tonal clarity into an affordable package, making a quality 12-string more accessible to budget-minded players looking to broaden their musical palette. The Dreadnought body’s strong low-end response balances well with the crisp octave shimmer, producing a tone that’s lush and articulate, with lots of dynamic range. Features include layered walnut back and sides, a solid Sitka spruce top, 1-7/8-inch neck, matte-finish body, black binding and pickguard, and natural-sounding Taylor’s Expression System 2 pickup.'
