  • Interview Series: Cindy Guitars

    Old growth wood is a big topic on this show and this week we have the pleasure of sitting down with New York City’s own Cindy Hulej of Cindy Guitars.  Her custom builds not only feature ornate and elaborate designs but are made from the bones of the Big Apple.  Inspired by fire torn Cathedrals to the Chelsea Hotel each guitar has its own story, along with scars, and it’s all done the old fashioned way.

  • Interview Series: Tom's Amps

    This week on our Interview Series we sit down with Tom Hallock of Tom’s Amps. This unique business is located just outside of Detroit in Royal Oak, Michigan and offers rental services for a wonderful array of super rare guitar amplifiers.  All the amps are kept as close to original as possible and if you’re in the area you can stop by and give them a spin free of charge!  Tom has penchant for old Premier and Valco amps and his collection is truly a treasure.
