MADE TO BE PLAYED!
Guild is one of the world’s historic guitar manufacturers with a long-standing reputation for building iconic musical instruments. From the New York jazz scene in the 1950s, Richie Havens’ legendary performance at Woodstock, to Seattle’s Kim Thayil of Soundgarden, Guild guitars helped create some of the greatest music in history. With a tradition built on old world craftsmanship, quality, and value, Guild guitars have always been made to be played.
GUILD USA
In July 2014, Guild began constructing a new state-of-the-art factory in Southern California where the first order of business was to search the globe for original molds, equipment and rare Guild guitars. Machinery was shipped from the previous factory in New Hartford, CT and retro-fitted into the new production line. Ren Ferguson, legendary luthier, was named VP of Manufacturing and R&D. Ren’s history with Guild (notably his Guild Orpheum Series) combined with many years of excellent guitar building made him the perfect visionary to set up and design Guild’s new factory.
Guild is excited to ring in a new era of USA production. Interpreting classic Guild designs through an innovative approach and use of modern technology, these guitars feel and sound better than ever and are Made to be Played.

PHIL JONES BASS
AMPLIFICATION DEDICATED TO BASS PLAYERS
PJB is all about Performance, Quality and Dependability. Our cabinets are made with Baltic birch plywood and braced for extreme rigidity. Internal bracing not only makes a more rugged speaker, it also eliminates resonance and adds clarity to your sound. No detail is omitted in our products. Many components are exclusively our design and tooling, such as the rubber feet, metal corners, CNC precision cut aluminum front panels, and even the smallest part – the EQ slider rubber tips. Because of these fine quality components, PJB amps will keep going long after other competitor amps are on the trash dump. We have a full team working on quality control of all incoming parts to ensure that quality is achieved consistently from amp to amp.

SHUBB
WORLD LEADERS IN MODERN CAPO DESIGN
Since 1980 the Shubb capo has set the standard against which all others must be measured. Its patented locking action provides an unrivaled combination of power, speed, accuracy and ease of use. One smooth flip of the lever locks it securely in place …and removes it just as quickly.
• It presses the strings exactly like your fingertip - Specially formulated rubber sleeve material acts just like your fingertip, so the strings are not bent out of tune. • It closes onto the neck just like your hand - Not like a belt, or a clothespin, or a vise, or a pair of pliers. The strings are not pulled out of tune. • Its pressure is totally adjustable and repeatable - Too much pressure stretches strings sharp, too little muffles tone. Total adjust-ability is an essential feature of a serious capo, and with the Shubb that pressure is repeatable each time.
TRAVELER GUITAR
LEAN MEAN TRAVEL MACHINES
Since 1992, Traveler Guitar has been the leading innovator in the design and manufacture of full-scale travel guitars. After two decades, we’re still focused on the same goal: providing high quality, portable solutions for mobile musicians. From our original Pro-Series model to the cutting edge EG-1 Custom, to the revolutionary Traveler Acoustic Series, our guitars have traveled all over the world, from a submarine deep in the Atlantic to the peak of Mt. Everest.
Simple Beginnings - Using tuning machines from an old acoustic guitar, spare conduit left over from a home improvement project, and wood salvaged from a discarded bar top, inventor Leon Cox conceived and built the very first Traveler Guitar in his garage workshop in Redlands, California in October of 1992. Cox, whose wife worked as a nurse, was inspired to install the diaphragm of a stethoscope in the body of his prototype to provide the player with a battery-free, private listening experience.
