NAMM 2008 (the International Music Products Association) was a big success! DestroyAllGuitars is proud to announce the addition of extremely talented luthiers and craftsmen to our already potent lineup. Please welcome from Budapest, Hungary, Fibenare Co., who make wonderful sounding and absolutely gorgeous, hand carved guitars. We were absolutely thrilled to have been chosen as the direct sales rep for Henman-Bevilacqua whose S1 guitar is possibly the finest, most dynamic rock guitar ever to pass through my hands. We would also like to welcome from NYC, master Tele builder Hahn Guitars. Chihoe Hahn and he's a true gentleman, consumed with passion for what he does. Then there's Flaxwood Guitars of Finland, who have made what is quite possibly the most significant guitar innovation in a generation.

Great new additions!! DestroyAllGuitars is extremely proud and honored to be able to announce the addition of a new batch of builders/luthiers. Our Hahl Guitars and our Schaefer Guitars sections are now up for viewing under "Stringed Things." Additionally, we have added Elmwood Amps and Louis Electric to the collective. Finally, let us give a warm welcome to Thorell Guitars and Shelley Park Guitars, two outstanding builders of acoustic guitars to the DAG collective.

The new rise of the archtop. These are very exiting times indeed and Destroy All Guitars is rolling right along with them. As the boutique guitar renaissance continues its fateful blossoming, an old standby and one of the greatest creations since the wheel stands poised to make a glorious comeback - that's right, the venerable archtop guitar. Long considered the purview of the most masterful of the master luthiers, the archtop is an undeniable mainstay, and in the hands of today's luthiers it is more flexible than ever. Somehow the time for it's re-emmergence just seems right. This is a rather important landmark in the history of Destroy All Guitars, a new era for us, as we announce the news that world class archtop builders Peter Hopkins, Bill Comins, Mario Beauregard, Ed Schaefer, Stefan Hahl, Mike Sabre, and Tom Bills have all joined the DAG family. This is a dream come true for us and we could not be more excited. The archtop is a very vital instrument to say the least, and we are envisioning a sort of re-birth of the cool, with the builders mentioned above, along with Tom Ribbecke and Theo Scharpach who are already with us, as the ones to take it there. We view these additions to the DAG collective as a celebration and we welcome aboard this remarkable group of luthiers who will be responsible for bringing both the archtop and Destroy All Guitars to new heights.

The Super Collider is here! Ben Fargen's newest creation is an incredible dual channel amp based on the infamous SCO. The Fargen Super Collider is an all new dual channel design that fuses the richest clean tones and the fattest sustaining lead tones possible from a dual channel 6L6 tube amplifier. This new innovative design encompasses the very best of Ben Fargen's previous custom shop offerings while raising the bar to deliver a no excuses world class tone that has to be experienced to be believed.

Destroy All Guitars welcomes Scharpach Guitars to the collective! Scharpach is one of the most renowned acoustic guitar builders in the world. Their classical guitars, archtops, nylon string jazz guitars and experimental instruments represent the absolute top of the trade. Their mix of old-world sensibility and progressive design is unique, elegant, and undeniably mind-blowing. Check them out in the stringed things section!

Destroy All Guitars continues to grow! Welcome aboard to Ruokangas Guitars, Scott Walker Guitars, and Bruno Amps! These three Stellar builders, brand new to the DAG collective, represent the finest of the finest and we are most honored to include them in the party.

It is with great pride that we announce the Ribbecke Guitar Corporation has appointed DestroyAllGuitars a sales agent for their extraordinary Halfling line of guitars. We have been longtime admirers of Tom Ribbecke's work, with the Halfling, in our eyes, marking the beginning of a new era in acoustic/electric archtop design.

TWO NEW LUTHIERS!! DAG is happy to add Victor Baker and his extraordinary lineup of electric guitars to the collective. AND welcome to Jonathan Mann's MANNdolins, the most searing electric and acoustic mandolins on the market! Both these luthiers consciously embody the player's ethic in their designs/creations having both been active players for many many years. There is nothing that contributes to top-notch instrument design and creation like years of professional experience with a multitude of instruments. Check Victor Baker and Manndolins out in the stringed things section.

DestroyAllGuitars is most proud and excited to kick off the New Year by welcoming aboard THREE WORLD CLASS LUTHIERS. On the side of experience, and one of the pioneers of the boutique guitar business, we are most fortunate and honored to have master builder Terry McInturff join our team. Terry brings a wealth of experience, grace, and overall good vibes as well as his newest creation, the "Carolina," which is most definitely a crown jewel. The Carolina marks a new high point in Terry's career. We will be working with Terry on sales and marketing as well as the shaping and imaging of his company while he is in the shop giving form to new creations of wood and metal that will in turn help give shape to the music that many will make.

Also on the side of experience and innovation, we are most thrilled and fortunate to welcome to Vince Cunetto and the wonderful folks at Vinetto Guitars. Vince is a world class master builder who, among many things, was resposible for developing a line of guitars that became known as the Relic series. Vinetto now have their own Artifact Series as well as Vince's Legato and Deuce models and the different variations on each. all are built with a process that mixes both old world hands-on techniques with state-of-the-art building technology to give us a precise fit and finish as well as new design elements that open up beautiful new tonal palettes. These instruments are an absolute joy to play and listen to.

We are also quite excited to welcome Benjamin Bruton and Bruton String Works to our team. Ben is an extremely talented and gifted luthier who is driven by a passion and dedication that is inspiring to see. His skill set and experience place him on a level along side many of today's top solid, semi and full hollowbody builders. His apprenticeship and later collaborations with veteran luthier Bernie Lehmann have provided Ben with an education and experience that is priceless. It's incredibly exciting for us to have the opportunity to team up and work with Ben from today, the outset of his professional career, through to what will hopefully prove to be a very long and prosperous relationship with lots of growth, learning, hard work and some fun along the way.

Please check the stringed things section in the next week or so for more information on these outstanding luthiers!

STRAUB's 12 Watt "TWISTED TRIODE" Soon To Be Unleashed! The TWISTED TRIODE is the latest creation from Harry Straub. It is a 12 Watt amp based on an old school true triode power tube that provides a very linear response and sounds wonderful in audio circuits. Most amp companies have overlooked this tube because it's old design is inefficient and very hard to drive, but it is those factors that actually make it perfect for a low wattage design. Straub will be making a limited run of the Twisted Triodes and are targeting a launch date of December 1, 2006. The price is not finalized but will be in the low to mid 2K range. Check the Straub section, or the new arrivals section for more.

The new TopHat Vanderbilt 33 is on its way! This new amp is riddled with capabilities. In Cliff's words: "The Vanderbilt 33 is a bigger, thicker, chewier version of what the Supreme 16 is. Not better but different. This is the dream amp for those who love the rhythm sounds of Richards and Townshend and all in between, with lead tones that are super fat and chewy that let you hang onto them and squeeze every bit of juice out of each note..." Check the new arrivals section or the TopHat section for more.

Set this amp up to scream and then just back your guitar volume down and you'll have a tremendous palette of sounds at your disposal. An incredible amplifier packed with sounds that will inspire you to play to the best of your abilities and beyond. (mid-August - SOLD OUT)
