MXR is one of the most trusted names when it comes to effects pedals. I just started using these and I couldn't be happier. These are definitely worth the money. Give them a shot.

These 6" Patch cables are mar-approved for clean, pure tone. They feature oxygen-free copper conductors and spiral shields to block unwanted interference, PVC outer jackets for flexibility and protection, and flat, low-profile right-angle ends to keep your pedalboard tight and tidy.

I had this beautiful Gibson Les Paul Tribute in the shop recently for a fretfress and a setup. The neck pickup on this one sounds fantastic. It's such a sweet sounding guitar that plays great and I love the finish.

Bradley IL has been my home for nearly 20 years. The men and women who protect and serve this community do a fantastic job. I have friends on the police force who want to come home to their families at the end of the day. Things like this shouldn't happen here. Things like this shouldn't happen anywhere. Prayers for the fallen officer and her family. Prayers for the other officer in the hospital and his family. Prayers for the Bradley Police department. And prayers for our village.

If you are putting a pedal board together or looking for a great gift for yourself or a guitarist or bassist on your list, then I highly recommend the Koogo Magic tuner. What makes it magical? I don't know, maybe that it's been on my board and one of my bandmates' boards for nearly 3 years and has more than held up. Maybe the fact that it's under $21.00 I've got one of these on 5 different pedal boards because it works, it's reliable, and it's more than affordable. Maybe the Koogo Tuner pedal is magic.

This made in Italy Eko P8 acoustic guitar isn't something that you see every day. It came in needing some fretwork, new strings, and a new bridge. It's hard to find a whole lot of information on this model. It has an arched back and sounds really big for a palor size guitar. Love that sunburst.

It's no secret that Christmas is coming up. A great gift for that beginning guitarist on your list is the gift of private lessons. I currently have openings for private lessons in Bradley IL. I offer half hour lessons on guitar, bass, ukulele, or upright bass. Lessons are $22 a session. You can message me here for day and time availability. Cat picture for attention.

Yesterday I posted a link to an awesome and affordable pedal board. The next step in getting your pedal board together is powering it up. There are some great options out there. My personal favorite is this Caline Power CP-04. It offers 10 isolated inputs that include 9 volt, 12 volt, 18 volt, and USB inputs. Plus it's under $40.00

Pedals are great. Pedals are fun. Paying crazy prices for pedal boards is not great or fun. I personally use this medium sized pedal board for my acoustic board. The included bag is very durable. This board comes with everything you need to get your pedals organized and tidy including Velcro.

The name on the headstock has never been a big issue for me. If a guitar plays and sounds great is what matters most to me. This vintage Japanese import guitar came in for a make over. The owner always loved this guitar so it was brought back to life with some new pickups, tuners, and bridge. Then there was a bit of fretwork, new nut and a set up. The owner was thrilled and loved the look and playability.
