You know what has felt like unobtanium?

A blue Grammer.

For four years, we searched everywhere. The few we found were locked into collections and not coming out. Then this one finally hit our radar. Once we realized it had the exact specs we wanted, and was only four serial numbers away from the best-sounding Grammer we have ever heard — the Jason Newsted-owned Grammer — we knew it had to join the archive.

So here it is at last: a 1971 Grammer G-20 Custom in special-order Blue Burst. 🙌

Stop by, play this one and Jason’s, and tell us which one you think sounds better. 😉

Big ol' archtop alert. ✨

This is a 1947 Silvertone Aristocrat, Model 712.

Built by Kay and sold through Sears, it is one of those postwar department-store guitars that just has a ton of charm. Big body, mellow sunburst, and all the right late-40s details.

But let’s be honest, the headstock is what really gets us. That script Silvertone logo, the celluloid veneer, and that little crest in the middle... so good.

Very cool old guitar, and a great reminder that Sears used to sell some pretty neat things. 👌

Local-built, handwired, one-off. ⚡

Just in from Hunter Amplifiers: The Big Kid.

Built as the grown-up follow-up to Hunter’s Kid Kronic, The Big Kid is small in footprint and big in voice.

This is a brand new custom Class A head built by Bob at Hunter Amplifiers, and it is a serious piece of work. Small footprint, built tough for daily use and road use, oversized transformers, handwired guts, and a stout 14 watts of pure Class A power.

And the sound? A freight train tone. Big, rich, and authoritative, with impressive punch and depth for its size. It delivers everything from articulate cleans to harmonically rich overdrive, always feeling alive under your fingers.

Every detail feels intentional, with a responsive, dynamic voice that rewards your picking hand and reacts beautifully to the guitar's controls. Housed in a black tweed head cab with switchable 4/8/16 ohm outputs, it is equally at home in the studio, rehearsal space, or on stage.

We are proud to have it here in the shop, and even more proud to have a builder like Hunter doing this kind of work close to home.

Go give Hunter Amplifiers a follow, then come by Cumberland Guitars and hear this one for yourself.

Imagine if a 1960s Chicago guitar factory tried to build a resonator after watching The Jetsons. 🚀

That gets you somewhere in the neighborhood of this 1964 Valco-made Airline Folkstar.

Sold through Montgomery Ward under the Airline name, the Folkstar is one of those wonderful “what were they thinking?” designs that could only have come from Valco. Part folk guitar, part resonator experiment, part space-age catalog oddball.

Fiberglass molded Res-O-Glas weirdness and that whole mid-century future vibe... nothing else really looks quite like it.

Strange, stylish, and unmistakably cool. ⚡️⚡️

One of the wild things about Gower and Grammer is how many big names used them.

For brands that were around such a short time and made so few instruments, they turned up on a surprising number of album covers.

We have been chasing down physical copies for a few years now, and here are the ones we have found so far.

A couple of oddballs made the cut too, including Billy Grammer with his Grammer-necked Gibson ES and an early J.W. Gower banjo.

New Arrival: 2022 Epiphone Tony Iommi SG Special.

Yeah, it gets heavy. We checked. ⚡

P-90s, Monkey decals, and all the right Sabbath attitude.

Come by and make sludge with us. 🤘

New arrival: 1965 Danelectro Convertible, the ol’ Model 5015. ⚡

This was supposed to be a great acoustic-electric hybrid.

What they actually ended up with was an acoustic that is not especially acoustic, an electric that is not especially electric, and a sound that is completely its own thing.

Dry, punchy, jangly, lo-fi, and way more fun to play than expected.

These old Danos always bring a smile

We love a good pedal launch day. ⚡️

Check out the limited-edition MXR / Wylde Audio Zakk Wylde Overdrive in Zakk Sabbath Berzerker Purple.

We only have a handful, and once these are gone, that is it. No restock. No second shot.

Loud color, loud name, plenty of attitude. 🤘

It’s Tanline-Tuesday. 🤣☀️

Take a peek under the hood of that 1963 Ampeg Burns we shared last week and have a look at what years of perfectly normal UV exposure will do to a finish.

That is one serious tan line. 😎

Turns out even weird old imported guitars forget their sunscreen.

What’s cooler than a 100% original, minty fresh 1980 Peavey T-60 in black?

A 100% original, minty fresh 1980 Peavey T-60 in black signed by Steve Wariner. 🤯🤯🤯 🤠🤠🤠

Steve is who we associate most with this model, so his name on there is pretty dang cool. If he comes in before we sell it, we'll have him add another to it and make sure he takes it for a spin. 😉
