The dynamics of the Internet create a dimension where retail customers

We are presenting the following instruments according
to these premises.

AMPLIFIERS
GUITARS AND BASSES
(G-1) Dobro-style resonator guitar
This is a replica of a 1930s wood body Dobro. It really has the sound --
and has the modern appointments including a thinner, more comfortable neck,
due to an adjustable trussrod PLUS high quality enclosed tuning gears. It
sounds, plays and feels like the real thing. It comes in a brown satin finish
with chrome hardware and resonator cover. List price is about $600; our
price: $275
(G-2) Electric bass guitar
This is similar to a traditional *Fender® precision bass. Long-scale neck
(34"), solid wood body, split precision bass pickup, 4-way adjustable
bridge for perfect intonation and well-functioning trussrod to ensure a
straight neck. Its available in black or ivory. List price for a comparable
instrument is about $400; our price: $175
(G-3) Traditional Martin-style acoustic guitar
This is perhaps the best of all we're offering. Its a replica of a very
fancy Martin D-28. The top is solid spruce and its X-braced with rosewood
back and sides, inlayed with black and white bindings. The neck has old,
traditional, diamond snowflake inlays for fret position markers and is equipped
with high quality enclosed tuning machines. Even if you forget about the
fancy stuff, the sound quality is similar to instruments starting at $600.
Our price: $250
(G-4) Gibson-style Les Paul with set/glued-in neck
Cherry sunburst finish over book-matched flamed maple top. Les Paul-style
solid body guitars are re-appearing as a musician's favorite, hence, I offer
at $350. The list on similar guitars is around $900. This comes with
humbucking pickups, a tunamatic bridge, and vintage-style Kluson tuners
and is very reminiscent of a classic 1958 Les Paul. Sounds good at all volumes.
(G-5) Fancy all-carved mandolin
This is a mandolin player's dream. It is a high-quality replica of a 1920's
F-5 style mandolin, constructed with all solid woods. The appointments are
beautiful; the carvings, the binding-work and the pearl inlay are remarkable.
The finish duplicates a hand-dyed sunburst found on the masterpieces by
Gibson craftworkers at the early part of the century. The list price on
this instruments is around $1200; Our price: $450
(G-6) Pearl inlayed 5-string banjo
We recommend sunglasses to look at this incredibly ornate pearl inlayed
banjo. Its a reproduction of a traditional 1920'-style Gibson Mastertone.
Its all gold-plated with incredible pearl inlays throughout. The back of
the peghead and heel are carved like an ornate gunstock. The tone ring gives
it an incredible voice. Its fitted with traditional-style planetary tuning
machines and ornate resonator. I've seen similar models listed at $1800.
Our price: $500
(G-7) Nylon string classic
Beginners need stuff, too. This is one of the best quality entry-level instruments
we can offer. Our price: $100
(G-8) Budget steel string guitar
This is a very good quality steel string replica of a Martin D-18. Its your
typical, entry-level guitar, pretty durable and travels well. It has a solid
inlay saddle in the bridge and adjusting rod in the neck to keep the neck
perfectly straight. A good price at $125.
(G-9) Traditional style electric guitar -- double cutaway
Every body wants a vintage * Strat®! But who can afford them? I've chosen this instrument for its excellent features and budget price. The body is solid wood and is equipped with a high-quality tremelo bridge that raises -- and lowers -- the pitch. This is usually accomplished by a high-tech system that is more trouble than
its worth, but the bridge on this is in the traditional style and does a
very good job. The electronics system comes with a humbucking lead pickup
at the bridge and two traditional single coils in the neck and middle position.
The neck is excellent quality with a good trussrod system; it has high quality
enclosed tuning gears. Colors: ivory, black, metallic, blue, red, sunburst.
Similar instruments list for at least $400. Our price: $175
(G-10) Cutaway acoustic guitar
This is a professional quality solid spruce top, modern guitar. Its cutaway
allows access for solos on the upper frets. The back and sides are mahogany.
The top bracing is the traditional Martin X-style and it comes with high-quality
enclosed tuning gears. The guitar has a transducer pickup installed under
the bridge and comes with a three-band graphic equalizer. It has a really
good sound. List price is over $600. I'm offering this at $300.
FatDog's solid top D-28 replica $250
Amplifiers
This is a trio of amplifiers that I have selected to offer at bargain
prices. I really like these amps because they're upholstered in a blonde
tweed fabric that is reminiscent of the 50s era Fender® amps. In fact, they
look very similar.
(G-11) The bedroom-style amp. Its pretty loud with distortion, but
definitely in the realm of a practice amp. $50
(G-12) The garage jam amp. It gets pretty loud. It is rated at 20 watts
and has reverb. Your folks or neighbors will definitely yell "TURN
IT DOWN!" $100
(G-13) The closed back bass practice amp. Its not loud enough
to perform with, but loud enough to practice and jam with. They all come
with headphone jacks and alot of adjustable tone settings. If you play it
loud with the headphones, you'll probably be saying "WHAT?" for
the rest of your life anytime someone talks to you. $100
(G-14) Professional quality heavy-duty guitar cable/patch cord. Connect
your instrument to the amp. There's alot of cheap cords that just crap out
on you -- and I won't be bothered with them. I'd rather just offer this
one really good one that comes with a five-year warranty. You could probably
spend $20 for something like this of USA quality. I sell it for $8.
