#3 What’s On the Turntable This Week?

This week’s featured acoustic artist is Tim Stafford, who is an acoustic guitar player you need to know. He’s a fantastic flat picker, an all around incredible songwriter and composer. Some of his instrumental stuff will leave you weak in the knees.

#2 Orange Acoustic Preamp

I received this acoustic preamp to check out. I gave it a try and I’m very impressed with it. It’s a two channel pre, and channel A actually utilizes a tube so you are able to get this wonderful, rich, harmonic blend. Channel B has a mic input with switchable fan and power. You can effectively play your guitar plugged in and in front of a mic all in one unit!

#1 Thompson Cuban Mahogany Dreadnought Review

I featured this guitar in a past episode of Acoustic Tuesday, but I need to share it again. My Thompson Cuban Mahogany Dreadnought is mind blowing. The string spacing, responsiveness, bark, overall volume – is amazing. It literally will make banjos run away with their tails between their legs.
