2008-08-04 - Godin Multiac Fever

 Hey check out the Godin's here at the store. On the left we have the ever popular Grand Concert Multiac nylon with the synth access. And on the right is the A-6 Ultra an incredibly versatile guitar that blends an acoustic undersaddle pick up in the chambered body with a humbucker in the neck position. Like the Multiac the A-6 has multiple outputs so you can send one side to the board and the other to your stage amp. Or use one output and blend the tones on the guitar. Either way it's hard to wrong with these guitars. Stop in and check them out.

 

2008-07-30 - Glades Guitars to feature local music

 We are getting ready to select some of the local talent to place their CD's here in the store. We have a really cool listening tower that will hold 10 different CD's. The way it works is very similar to Barnes and Nobles where people can put on a set of headphones and select one of the 10 to preview.

 

2008-07-28 - Tune your travel guitar.

Did you know that most of the small travel guitars out there (we call them snack guitars here)can be Nashville tuned to add a nice harmonic layer to your jams or recordings. When I am not on the road using the travel guitar to keep in touch with my music I change it over to my Nashville guitar. Not sure what all that means...? or what strings to use...? Give us a call, we have the right information as well as complete sets for your guitar. It is really cool and a lot of creative juices get stimulated while playing. Bring it to your next jam.
