Guerilla Seduced by Our Naked Lady

The headline evokes images of King Kong and Fay Wray but in this case the Guerilla is Ottawa's hip cultural zine (www.getguerilla.com) and the Naked Lady is, of course our Tom Rush guitar. She's been building a pretty strong fan base so it was no surprise when Tony Martins, Geurilla's editor wrote to tell us he really liked the one he bought. What did surprise us was that he also wrote a review of the guitar. All we can say is WOW...what great validation.

What is your 7 day "Love It or Leave It" promise?

I'd love to try one of your guitars for a week if I can return it should it not be the one for me. Can I do that?

Our "Love It or Leave It" promise allows a potential owner to buy one of our guitars and try it for a week before committing to keeping it. Should the guitar not be perfect for you we'll happily take it back...no questions asked (well, almost no questions...we value feedback so we would like to know why you didn't fall in love but if you choose not to share that with us we'll accept your decision).

Direct to Musician Prices

Submitted by JohnMarr on Sun, 11/04/2012 - 10:02

"Your prices are too good to be true" We hear this a couple of times a day, and for guitarists used to shopping in music stores (either bricks and mortar or on-line) the question makes sense. After all we're hundreds of dollars less expensive. Solid wood (triple A or Masterclass grade) acoustic guitars shouldn't be this cheap should they?

It's the Time of Year to Humidify Your Guitar.

Submitted by JohnMarr on Wed, 10/10/2012 - 15:35

When I was young and innocent – young and stupid would be more accurate – back in the 60s, I carried a Martin D-28 all over Canada and down into California - in a cardboard case – hitchhiking, jumping trains and delivering drive-away dealer cars. The guitar not only survived my careless treatment, but never suffered any ill effects from a lack of humidity. Truth be told no one seemed to be aware of any issues related to dry air back then. Fifty years later its different.

Hyvää päivää To All Visitors from Finland

We couldn't figure out where the sudden burst in traffic from Finland originated until a lady wrote to tell us that the Canadian version of Dragon's Den airs in your country. Thank you for visiting. As you probably know we only sell our guitars over the Internet so it may be a bit tough catering to our Finnish friends. Perhaps someone knows (or is) a distributor who would like to partner with us for your market. Drop us a line via our contact form.
