Nordvang Custom Gravity V2.5

The Nordvang Custom Gravity v2.5 is a fairly new addition to my board, but it has already earned a permanent spot. If you aren’t familiar with Nordvang, they are a boutique maker out of Denmark doing some of the most insane work in the pedal world right now. They don’t just build clones. Henrik approaches […]

Ibanez TOD10N

The TOD10N is one of those guitars that instantly feels different the second you pick it up. It does not try to be a traditional nylon and it is definitely not here to replace one. This is Tim Henson’s take on a nylon string guitar and that alone makes it a pretty unique piece to

Martin 000-28 Ambertone

Let’s start with the basics. This is a 28-series Martin, which means rosewood. In this case, East Indian rosewood on the back and sides paired with a Sitka spruce top. That combination alone tells you a lot about what this guitar is going to do. There’s a ton of natural bass, but it’s controlled. Full
