Campfire Guitars
Camping without a guitar is like a stick without a marshmallow. Give these a tickle:
Small is BeautifulWashburn Parlors. We've always had a soft spot for the smallish guitar. They're cozy-- you can curl up with a parlor guitar and still have room for your cat. Their compact nature also makes them ideal road companions, plus they can double as a kid guitar if you feel like sharing. Come see!
The Fall Mandolin Crop:
It's time for pickin'
Eastmans starting at $599:
We think Eastman gives the better known brands a run for their money.
Just starting out? Try an Ibanez ($199.99) or a Kentucky ( $219)
Weber Gallatin F:
Stunning natural looks highlight the Gallatin, named after the river
that runs right outside our door. Beloved by musicians of all varieties
for its punch, clarity and playability, the Gallatin is an innovative
instrument with traditional integrity. Nitro-cellulose natural matte
finish, no binding. Check it out. Don't let winter creep up on your guitar
Feel that dry fall snap in the air? That means it's time to humidify. Wooden instruments such as acoustic guitars, violins, mandolins are all vulnerable to our dry Montana air, and can ultimately crack (yikes!) if left to their own devices. (Tip for students: The Carroll dorms are VERY dry. We've seen several guitars sustain damage after only a few months.) Early warning signs include:
-
sharp, raised frets
-
lowered action
-
fret buzz
-
top caves in slightly
-
chronically out of tune
-
on a violin, strings mysteriously unwind from tuning pegs
Fortunately these problems can be prevented and often reversed with a small inexpensive instrument humidifier. The most common kind consists of a long thin sponge in a rubber tube. Soak it in water (preferably distilled), dry off any errant drops, and stick it in your guitar or case. Repeat in a couple of days. Get a humidifier today.
Introducing Gretsch Archtops
Whether you're looking for a jazz machine or rockabilly tone, Gretsch has your axe.
Stylish and affordable, the G5120 Electromatic® Hollow Body features
dual-coil pickups, adjustable bridge, chrome-plated die-cast tuners and
Bigsby®-licensed B60 tailpiece. Available in orange or black. Or go for the double cut-away version with the elegant and resonant G5122DC, available in black and walnut. $749.99 
$199. This is our go-to
guitar for affordable playability. Laminate back and sides make it a
little less sensitive to changes in humidity. Comes with a hardshell
case in case it falls off your llama. Available in Black, Natural and
Sunburst. See more great campfire guitar options.
C.F. Martin DX 175th Acoustic Guitar
~ $499 (marked down from $699) If you can't rough it without a Martin, this is the one to take. High pressure laminate back and sides make it far less sensitive to humidity changes, while the composite neck lends extra strength. Plus, what better camping buddy than old Christian Frederick Martin?
The Ultimate Trekking Guitar
$99. This guitar sounds as sweet as a studio quality ukulele, fits under the seat in front of you on an airplane, and only costs a hundred bucks. For realz. Hear to believe: Matthew Andrae on YouTube (with custom electronics installation), or Janick. The GL-1 is designed for A-tuning, a fourth up from a regular guitar, but other tuning are possible with the right strings.
 New Guitars!
A lot of them! You could barely get in the door for
while we were unpacking but now they're out and ready to be drooled
upon. Martins, Taylors, Eastmans, and Fenders. Come see!
Martin Dreads
There's nothing like that Martin Dreadnought thrum. We now have an excellent selection including the cream of the crop HD-28V, with vintage style bracing. What's so special about vintage bracing? It's all in the sound. The HD-28V's treble strings ring clear and sweet over top that deep Martin bass, like a scoop of vanilla in a pint of guinness. Come see!
 Triple Wah!
Take your pick of three new Morely Wah Pedals: The Classic Wah, The Power Wah, and last but not least the Power Wah Glow (it glows!). Also check out our Classic Fender Fuzz Wah. That's quadruple Wah!
