Presenting – the Cadillac Green Gretsch G6196T Country Club!
Occupying a position near the top of the Gretsch line since its introduction in 1954, the Country Club is often overshadowed by its slightly younger (1955) sibling, the White Falcon.

The Gibson J-35 is back, and what an entrance!
Originally produced in 1936, the J-35 was displaced by the classic (and slightly more expensive) J-45, and went out of production in 1942. About 3000 were originally made.

This impressive instrument features a somewhat oversize classical shaped body and an elegant contoured cutaway. The top is bound and the purfling follows the line of the cutaway very nicely.

The Gibson SG Standard has been an industry icon for decades. Introduced in 1961, the SG quickly became popular thanks to its streamlined, lightweight design and rich, crunchy tones.

It now comes equipped with a pair of Gibson Classic ’57 Humbucking pickups; clean, clear, and lush sounding, with a moderate output. These pickups combine perfectly with
