Josh#Baldridge (http://massstreetmusic.com/pages/josh-baldridge) – Eastman Electric Guitars - SB59 Goldburst
(https://massstreetmusic.com/products/eastman-electric-guitars-sb59-goldburst)This Eastman nails the look and vibe of a classic solid-body guitar. The Seymour Duncans sounds great, chimes without being too dark. The body produces plenty of sustain without being too heavy. Great guitar and affordable.#

Eric Putnam (http://massstreetmusic.com/pages/eric-putnam) – Tom Anderson Electric Guitars - Icon Classic - Mystic Teal
(https://massstreetmusic.com/products/tom-anderson-electric-guitars-icon-classic-mystic-teal)Our very own Matt Pelsma has been trying to decide what color to paint his walls. I have been suggesting Mystic Teal. What a great look for your walls or a guitar! Besides the looks I also love the combination of the PH-2 in the bridge with the SC1 single coils. The PH-2 is not as far from a single coil as a humbucker would be, but it is a great way to get a fatter bridge sound while still having plenty of chime.

Mike Horan (http://massstreetmusic.com/pages/mike-horan)#–#Waterloo by Collings - WL-S Deluxe
(https://massstreetmusic.com/products/waterloo-by-collings-wl-s-deluxe-2)Oh man! I have to pick the Waterloo WL-S Deluxe. After getting a chance to hear Beau Bledose play it at the booth in Winfield I am a true believer. Really excellent antique tone with great string separation when finger-picked!

Trey Durkin (http://massstreetmusic.com/pages/trey-durkin) – Chuck Lee Banjos - Fretless 12" Open-Back
(https://massstreetmusic.com/products/chuck-lee-open-back-fretless-banjo)What a great banjo! A fine example of the wonderful craftsmanship found in Chuck Lee's Banjos. A first rate fretless banjo with as full, warm and, mellow of a tone as any old time banjo picker could want. This instrument has a fantastic cut and drive with steel strings, but could easily handle nylons. It handles clawhammer or fingerstyle equally well, and retains a lovely voice throughout the range of tunings, which are achieved hassle-free thanks to the planetary tuners.

(https://massstreetmusic.com/products/collings-mandolins-mt2)Another wonderful mandolin from Collings, this MT2 has great tone, with clear, defined notes whether played softly, or with a lot of volume. The Eastern Flamed Maple back and sides are beautiful, but I especially love the velvety sheen and depth of the figuring on the back of the maple neck.

(https://massstreetmusic.com/products/martin-acoustic-guitars-2017-d-28)Any time one of our builders announces a redesign I sit up and take notice. I've always leaded more towards mahogany back and sides#but there's something about this build and bracing that gives it the bass responsive of rosewood with the punch of the new D-18s. It's a great combination and I honestly can't put this one down.
