This is also footswitchable, as are the amp's two Master Volume controls and the Series/Parallel effects loop.

The Loar LH-309
The LH-309's top is hand-carved and hand-graduated solid Spruce. We've carefully placed our own P-90 pickup in the perfect spot. The classic high output and articulate treble response of the P-90 is the ideal complement to the spruce top and maple back and sides, excellent for either rhythm or lead playing.
With a 16" lower bout and a classic 24-3/4" scale, the LH-309 is a nod to original Golden Age archtop designs.
The Loar LO-216
The LO-216 is a unique flat top guitar that gives players the chance to sample everything great about a small body instrument, but still benefit from the extra volume of a longer scale. It starts with a solid Sitka spruce top on a classic 0-style body. The dreadnought scale length means that the strings have greater excursion, resulting in more punch and projection than you’d expect from a small-body guitar.
The Sitka spruce combines with the mahogany back and sides for players who prefer a slightly darker tone that’s great for any style of music. Our 1-11/16” bone nut is comfortable for either fingerpicking or strumming, and the vintage-style Golden Age tuning machines keep the 216 in tune through extended playing sessions. The ivory body binding and bound headstock give it a refined, classic look that complements both the finish and firestripe pickguard.

The slim, mahogany neck has an adjustable truss rod, a genuine rosewood fingerboard and a solid peghead with pearloid overlay. The spun aluminum cone with wooden “biscuit” bridge provides the Classic sound with tremendous volume. The bell brass body is finished in a gleaming nickel-plate, and the coverplate is the rare, late 1930’s variety with slotted soundholes. Die-cast, sealed tuning machines turn easily and precisely, and each RC-3 is shop-adjusted before shipment.

Independent volume controls for each pickup allow players to dial in a range of tones from warm and fat to crisp and aggressive. The unique 2-piece pickguard is reminiscent of classic designs, but adds a subtle modern edge, and the vintage-style bridge and elephant ear tuners

Yamaha Ncx2000 Acoustic-Electric Classical Guitar Flamed Maple
The Yamaha NCX2000 guitar inherited many of the characteristics of classical guitars, such as fingerboard width, neck shape, body thickness, and 12th fret joint. Their cutaway bodies and lower string height offer more flexible playability. The NCX line is designed to provide not only classical guitarists with an instrument that is a pleasure to play, but other guitarists playing a wide range of musical styles from flamenco to Latin to popular, and much more.
This top-of-the-line Yamaha classical guitar is designed and crafted drawing on the vast knowledge, craftmanship, and expertise acquired from over 40 years of hand crafting classical Spanish guitars. Its stunning nylon tone is faithfully reproduced with all its beauty and depth through an advanced electronics and pickup system designed by Yamaha.
The Yamaha NCX2000 starts with a solid Hokkaido spruce top, for warm, balanced tone. The neck is African mahogany, while the back and sides are rosewood or flamed maple.
Rosewood is a tropical hardwood that has long been the material of choice for acoustic guitar sides and backs. Harder and heavier than maple, it provides firm support for the guitar's resonating top and delivers rich, well-balanced overtones. The Yamaha guitar's warm quality is perfect for nylon-string tone.

Epiphone Les Paul Tribute Plus
Epiphone Les Paul Tribute Plus Electric Guitar Black Cherry
Epiphone's long friendship with innovator Les Paul dates back to the late '30s and early '40s when Les and fellow guitarists such as Charlie Christian and George Barnes were at the forefront of jazz guitar. Epi Stathopoulos and Les were good friends and Epi would let Les use the Epiphone factory on 14th Street in New York City at night after hours to experiment on guitar and pickup designs. This also was the era when Les, inspired by the stinging sustain heard in electric steel guitars, began dreaming of making a solidbody guitar. He built his first, the legendary "Log," at the Epi factory in 1941. Over the years, Les continued to work closely with Epiphone luthiers, reviewing new product ideas and offering suggestions. Now, the Epiphone Les Paul Tribute Plus honors Epiphone's friendship with Les by combining his classic design features with legendary Epiphone quality and value with the added power of Gibson USA '57 Classic humbuckers.

Fender Kurt Cobain Signature Mustang Left-Handed Electric Guitar
When Kurt Cobain hit the stage, it was very often with a Mustang® guitar—an enigmatic anti-hero figure with an esoteric anti-hero instrument. It’s with great pride then that Fender introduces the Kurt Cobain Mustang, which evokes the man, the band, the sound and the times, and gives an authentically crafted nod to one of the most unlikely guitars to ever find itself at the center of a musical maelstrom. Kurt Cobain liked Mustangs a lot. For one, he preferred offbeat guitars that didn’t cost zillions of dollars, and the Mustang certainly fit that criteria. Also, being somewhat physically diminutive himself, he liked to perform live with slightly more diminutive guitars, like Fender Mustangs and Jaguars. Inspired by his arsenal of modded guitars, the new Fender Kurt Cobain Mustang takes you back to the era of grunge.

Fender 50Th Anniversary Jaguar Electric Guitar Regular Burgundy Mist Metallic Rosewood Fingerboard
Fender celebrates 50 years of the iconic Jaguar.
Fender's 50th Anniversary Jaguar guitar takes you back to 1962, when they introduced an unusual new guitar that paired the sleek Jazzmaster® body style and elaborate control layout with a shorter scale and smaller, brighter pickups with more output. The resulting Jaguar was the fourth and last of Fender’s original lineup of standard electric guitars. Perfectly matched to the early-’60s renaissance in design modernism, the Jaguar gradually acquired a fascinating pedigree quite unlike that of any other Fender guitar. A chromed-out, surf-rock staple of the 1960s, it found new life from the mid-1970s-on as a subversively offbeat alternative axe wielded by punk, post-punk, grunge and alt-indie guitar heroes and anti-heroes alike.
The U.S.-built 50th Anniversary Jaguar celebrates that vivid history and combines old and new into the finest of all Jaguar guitars. Highly distinctive features include the classic 24” scale length, a new one-degree neck-angle-pocket cut that improves pitch, a re-positioned tremolo plate that increases bridge break angle and sustain, and specially designed hot Jaguar single-coil neck and bridge pickups that deliver fatter tone and more output (once again framed by the model’s classic notched metal “claws”; a hum-reducing innovation only found on the Jaguar). Accessories include a deluxe brown case, strap, cable and a set of flatwound strings.

Taylor's Grand Auditorium combines the width and depth of a Dreadnought with a narrower waist. Its sleek design yields a strong treble zing across the tonal spectrum and sharpens the definition of individual notes. The Grand Auditorium is a strong fingerpicking guitar that also adapts well to medium strumming.
Designed to faithfully reproduce your guitar's native tone, the Expression System utilizes patented Dynamic Sensors to capture top and string vibration like never before. Created in partnership with renowned audio pioneer, Mr. Rupert Neve, the Taylor ES is seamlessly integrated into the design of the guitar from the ground up. Onboard tone controls provide added flavor, or set flat for an uncolored, exceptionally clean amplified sound.
The finish used to create this guitar's lustrous gloss top, back, and sides was developed at Taylor for maximum durability and resistance to cold-checking. This ultra violet-cured finish is also more environmentally friendly than traditional lacquer finishes.
