Years ago, a fellow walked into our shop and proclaimed that we were “way deep in good guitars.” Periodically we have to figure out how it’s all going to fit in our shop. One solution is to offer some specials on perfectly great instruments. Some are older or discontinued models, some may show very slight shop wear, but all are first quality instruments. We need the room. These instruments need homes. A good value all around, we think.
