A blinding selection of Yamaha acoustic guitars just in! Choose from vibrant blue, deep maroon, or natural top models-a bargain for a feature packed, quality Yamaha instrument.

Let's play 'Spot the Martin':

It's a trick! There are TWO Martin guitars in this pick but one is their brand new "Dreadnought Jr.". Talk about a huge sound in a small guitar! 

This from Martin:

"Fashioned for player comfort, clear powerful tone and easy action, the Dreadnought Junior is reduced to approximately 15/16” of the full Martin 14-fret Dreadnought dimension (14 ¼” width at the lower bout) with an expressive 24” scale length. A solid Sitka spruce top features scalloped ¼” high performance X-bracing with a single asymmetrical tone bar. The back and sides are bookmatched from sapele, and Richlite, an ebony alternative with similar hardness and appearance, is chosen for the fingerboard and bridge. The Dreadnought Junior (aka “D Jr”) comes factory-equipped with Fishman’s Sonitone sound reinforcement system and includes a nylon gig bag."

And let's not forget the old standbys:

                                                

The trusty D-28                                                     and the gorgeous M-36

No, it's not a musical Tardis...

Although it could transport you on a musical journal wherever your imagination takes you: 

it's our new Gold Tone musical instrument display at WMC!

Old and New this week:

A lovely parlor guitar from the 1900's-20's?, possibly a 'Bay State' brand with all solid Brazilian rosewood and spruce. Timeless craftsmanship and attentive care has kept this guitar playing and sound wonderful all these years.

Fresh from California another Taylor maple series guitar, the 614ce.

Looks like we're seeing not just double, but quadruple around here!

Stop by and check out our collections of banjos, mandos, 12-strings, and vintage instruments!

PS: GUITAR REPAIR CUSTOMERS, THE TECH IS HAS LEFT THE BUILDING. FRET NOT, HE'LL RETURN SEPT.21st.

The incomparable Taylor 914ce has just landed at WMC! 

You will not believe it's perfection in every detail from the koa purfling 

that lines the generous abalone inlay silhouetting its contours to the 

hand carved ebony armrest seamlessly blending into its ebony binding. 

It's no surprise the 914ce sports solid Indian Rosewood 

back and sides, a solid Sitka Spruce top and the

Expression System 2® electronics package.
