Tomorrow morning, Thursday Sept. 6th, at 8am West Coast (PST) we are so excited to finally be releasing “The Bowl” limited edition.
The entire collection is 30 instruments, and these are the last 10.
We have teamed up with the great folks https://www.facebook.com/reverbmarket?mibextid=LQQJ4d in order to share these very special guitars and basses with a wider audience.
It has been a crazy ride thus far, but we wouldn’t want it any other way;))
We have completed all 10 instruments so there will be detailed listings up with pics and full specs.
Also, watch the full version of this video which is up now on YouTube link here to see the full mini-doc https://youtu.be/ooGQrJlPozY

Huge thanks to everyone who has been a part of making this happen 🙏🏻

We are beyond thrilled to be able offer this very limited edition of 30 Hollywood Bowl Guitars and Basses including a custom tour poster by BOB DYLAN'S graph...

Which Speaker do you prefer? Alnico Blue or the Vintage Ceramic G12-65.
Very different animals.
The Blue’s are great , but easy to blow up being rated at about 20Watts🤣
Switching back and forth tells the whole story;)
Thanks to brother for the Blue!

Congrats to the songbird on her new Tremohawk amp… she came into the shop and picked out her amp details & grill cloth etc.
That very rare 1930’s native blanket was in the shop for about 3 days.
She spotted that and scooped it up after looking through every other cloth I had in the shop.
The girl has a good eye!!!

One reason I have worked in this business for 30 years is because of the people I get to collaborate with. From the artist on stage to the artist in the wood shop, the inspiration is always flowing. Thank you for the introduction to Gio over at Black Volt Amplification] Gio just built the first run of guitars with my new Plank Spanker pickups. 🙏❤️👊. Repost from Black Volt Amplification]
