Happy Monday friends - your buddy Hank tossed some balls and wound up with his first electric 12-string, an Eastwood Classic 12.

This week the buds dig into that (natch) while also catching up on all of the new gear announced this week.

Also discussed: Universal Audio’s new Spark native plugin platform, Chase Bliss Habit, the Roli Seaboard 2, April Fools is dumb, RIP Taylor Hawkins, Billie Eilish winning some Oscars, 1951 Payola Tele/Esquire, Well Strung Guitars, Mesa expanding their distribution channels, and Boston.

It’s hard to take a picture of a guitar.
