The electric guitar. In it’s unplugged, dormant state, it’s still sexy…the way a tricked-out muscle-car looks fast just sitting at the light. Chock full of potential, the guitar can move people to tears, bring joy to the player AND the audience, and even insight riots! It’s a powerful tool, particularly in the right hands. Think about the way a particular phrasing by Chet Atkins can make you smile, or an unconventionally creative lick from Jeff Beck
makes your ears do a double-take! Or the way you know with the first few notes of a sweet melodic solo that it’s BB King or Eric Clapton…without question. What about the Beatles and their classic Rickenbacker and Gretsch guitars taking the USA by storm on that fateful NY night in February 1964? Would they have made girls faint in the aisles if their domestic onslaught had been performed on sax and trumpet?
Highly doubtful!
We at Caruso Music know guitars…and we carry some of the most unique instruments made today. We pride ourselves in having exquisitely hand-crafted guitars from Suhr, Robin, and Rickenbacker. We also carry a nice selection of uncommon, hard-to-find guitars from DiPinto and Eastwood. If you’re looking for something reminiscent of an old National, Danelectro, or Moserite…DiPinto and Eastwood have got you covered.
Everyone working in our guitar division is an active player. We know the lingo, we keep on-top of the latest trends in new gear, AND with a 78 year history, we know vintage guitars too.
