Maple Street Guitars | December Newsletter

Happy Holidays from Maple Street!

Well, here we are again at the end of another year with the holidays upon us. If you're like us, you probably still have lots of shopping to do and plans to make. We hope you take the time to come in and see us. If you are looking for the perfect instrument for yourself (everyone deserves to treat themselves during the holidays) or for a very special person, we are ready to help.

In this, our Holiday Issue, we are featuring some of our favorite instruments, accessories and gift ideas for the guitar players in your life. For the budding beginner, we have a great selection of affordable instruments that are sure to keep them playing. For the more seasoned players, there are all sorts of toys and necessities to make their playing more fun and keep their instruments in top shape.

Bucky Motter is our Teacher of the Month and our Tip of the Month is a surefire way to extricate a pick from inside an acoustic guitar. The newest member of our staff, Nick DiSebastian introduces us to two interesting Archtops, the Jaen Rialto and the Kinnard HB.
We hope you enjoy!

December Guitar of the Month!
Waterloo Scissortail

"Drawing its name from the Scissor-tailed Flycatcher — a bird species common to the Central Texas Hill Country — the WL-14 Scissortail is a special edition WL-14 that pays homage to the "Oriole" guitars produced by Kalamazoo between 1940 and 1942. Built with maple back and sides and vintage-inspired X-bracing, the Scissortail brings excellent projection and focus to the flagship WL-14 series while retaining its woody, characteristic tone. A natural finish coupled with distinctive tortoise-style binding sets this instrument apart from other WL-14 models, along with an original Scissortail decal applied to the headstock in true-to-era fashion."
