Long-time owner and semi-pro rock/jazz musician B3dawg said the Yamaha MOTIF XS "still amazes me on a regular basis. The action is great and the build quality better yet -- but the sounds trump these qualities 10-fold. . . . Yamaha just keeps outdoing themselves." B3dawg said the MOTIF XS easily beats his Roland Fantom and Korg. He called it the "perfect desert island keyboard," the only instrument you'll ever need. 

"What this keyboard has done for my music production is just unbelievable," raves reggae musician micpro. "I've had this keyboard for almost a year now, and it keeps on amazing me everyday." He also rated Yamaha's product support forums "top notch," noting that the instrument has a fast learning curve.

"The sounds are remarkably real, and you have tons of arpeggios that can be changed on each instrument in the performance mode, along with any instrument in that preset. You can really get deep into all the features of the SX, but I didn't find it overly complicated to figure out," said piano and recording artist Tommy G, who purchased a few Yamaha tutorials to speed up the learning process but also found plenty of good help online.

Gibson Byrdland Electric Guitar Built for Serious Musicians

Two Nashville session players were the brainchild behind a new electric guitar form that revolutionized the music world. Named for designers Billy Byrd and Hank Garland, Gibson introduced its revolutionary Thinline Series in 1955 with the debut of the Gibson Byrdland Electric Guitar. In developing its Thinline Series, Gibson sought to create a middle ground between full-size hollowbodies and smaller but noticeably heavier solidbodies. Neatly bridging that gap, the narrow-profile Gibson Byrdland Electric Guitar gave serious musicians a comfortable, lighter-weight instrument that could withstand hours of session work.

Featuring the same painstakingly hand-carved spruce top and high-grade maple back and rims as the Gibson L-5, the Byrdland Thinline Series has an overall depth of just 2 1/4 inches, considerably narrower and lighter than the 3 3/8-inch L-5. But it was the Byrdland's short scale 23 1/2-inch neck that first made it the darling of session guitarists back in the 1950s and '60s. That unusually short, thin neck made it possible for guitarists to create unique stretched-chord voicings and facilitated fast single-note runs.

If you've ever listed to Motown recordings, you've heard the Gibson Byrdland Electric Guitar in action. Veteran Motown session guitarist Dennis Coffey, who appears on virtually every Motown recording from the 1960s and '70s, still plays his prized Byrdland. Nashville artist Hank Garland used a Byrdland to back Elvis Presley during studio sets. The Motor City Madman, hard rock guitarist Ted Nugent, is so famous for playing a Byrdland that Gibson has developed a signature model named for him.

Whether you're onstage or in the studio, the handsome Gibson Byrdland Electric Guitar will let you push your music to new limits. Visit our online store to purchase the Gibson Custom Shop Gibson Byrdland Electric Guitar.

Gibson Custom 1959 Les Paul Reissue "Aged" Electric Guitar 961248

Gibson Reissues Historic 1959 Les Paul Standard Electric Guitar

In 1959, Gibson added wider, fatter jumbo frets to its standard Les Paul guitar and forever changed the face of rock and blues music. The new fret construction allowed guitar greats Eric Clapton, Mike Bloomfield and Peter Green to create the dramatic bends that changed the sound of rock and blues in the 1960s. The limited edition Gibson Custom 1959 Les Paul Reissue "Aged" Electric Guitar faithfully recreates every aspect of that historic 1959 Les Paul Standard electric guitar.

The master luthiers at Gibson's Custom Shop have used a combination of traditional hand craftsmanship and modern technology to recreate the flawless playability and unsurpassed tone of the '59 Les Paul Standard Electric Guitar. The handsomely-carved figured maple top, historic long-neck tenon with '59-spec neck pitch, and rare "aged" finish give this guitar the stunning good looks and warm, deep tone of a vintage original.

"I never made it as a rock star," says Jersey Boy Jerry of Tampa Bay; "but I've played with a lot of people who later became them. When I was 15 years old, I played a genuine '59 Les Paul. When I played the reissue 'aged' LP, it was the same. A real vintage model would cost more than my house, but the reissue model was well worth the cost!" 

This is your opportunity to own the quintessential electric guitar that made music history. While supplies last, we'll include a free Gibson Custom Shop denim jacket and cream-colored pickguard signed by the legendary Les Paul himself.  For a limited time only, we're able to offer the incredible Gibson Custom 1959 Les Paul Reissue "Aged" Electric Guitar for an amazing savings of 37% off the list price.

Koa Wood Gives Martin Acoustic Guitar Exceptional Tonal Balance

Koa Wood Gives Martin Acoustic Guitar Exceptional Tonal Balance

Click here for more information.

Gorgeous, highly-flamed Hawaiian koa wood is used to form the back and sides of the extraordinarily beautiful Martin D-45 Koa Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar. A cherished tonewood, koa has long been revered for its unique acoustic qualities and is often used in the construction of acoustic guitars, ukuleles, and Hawaiian steel guitars. Country singer Taylor Swift is one of many world-class musicians who appreciate the deep, rich sound, extraordinary projection and natural tonal balance of koa instruments. Her favorite acoustic guitar is made of curly, flamed koa wood.

Revered by wood craftsmen for its unique reddish color, highly-figured grain and exceptional beauty, koa wood is found only on the Hawaiian Islands. Koa trees, which can take up to 50 years to reach usable size, were once used by ancient Hawaiians to build intricately-carved, ocean-going dugout canoes. Decades ago when koa trees were more plentiful, islanders fashioned the wood into the world's most-prized surf boards. Today, the rare hardwood is prized by cabinet makers and woodworkers around the world for its distinctive grain and rich, reflective glow when finished. Native island luthiers introduced the beautifully balanced, clear tonal properties of koa wood to the musical world when they began carving popular ukuleles and Hawaiian steel guitars from the honey-rippled wood.

In crafting their D-45 Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar from koa wood, Martin craftsmen bring "investment-grade quality, sound and performance" to this outstanding musical instrument, raves country musician Woody from Colorado. He considers his Martin D-45 Koa Acoustic Guitar "king of the hill."
