G&L Guitars What? You've never heard of G & L Guitars? Well, let me ask you....ever heard of Leo Fender? The one who started it all? Well, guess what? Leo (who originated the Stratocaster and Telecasater) sold Fender in 1965. He spent the last 20 years of his life (1971-1991) perfecting the electric guitar at G&L in Fullerton, CA. You see, while most people saw the Tele and Strat as the end all be all of electric guitars, Leo saw it as an ongoing project and kept refining his ideas about what the electric guitar should be. At G&L, he came up with the Dual-Fulcrum Vibrato, the Saddle-Lock Bridge, the Bi-Cut Neck construction, the Magnetic Field Design Pickup, and the Tri-Tone Active Bass Circuitry. You owe it to yourself to come down and check out the guitars that Leo Fender was truely proud of!!

Do you know about Heritage guitars? When Gibson pulled out of Kalamazoo after 65 years of production, four of their top craftsmen stayed behind. They bought the old Gibson facotry and Gibson machines and formed the Heritage Guitar Company. Some people say they are better than Gibson. Some say they are "more Gibson" than Gibson. They certainly are less expensive than a Gibson. Come by our store and see why Heritage is the only new guitar being sold at vintage guitar stores!

Did you know Sonor has been making drums since 1875? They are also the only drum company to put double bearing edges on all of thier drums from the 1001 series on up to the top. What the heck is a double bearing edge you might ask? It's the point of contact the shell of the drum has with the head. Most drum companys only use the single edge, but by using the double, you have more tonal capabilities. Sonars sound and look great!!! Check out Sonor, then come to the store to see them in person.
