What to get for the "Pro"??

Do you have an experienced musician on your list this year?  Do you want to wow them, but you're not sure where to start?  That's where we come in.  Let the knowledgeable staff here at Capo's help you put together the perfect gift that will make Christmas 2012 unforgettable.  We have assembled a few suggestions that might get your wheels turning. 

For the guitar player that knows their stuff.  Surprise them with this Larrivee D-05 Burst with Deluxe Hardshell case.  This guitar is all solid wood and made in North America by the fine folks at Larrivee Guitars. Pair this amazing guitar with a Lakota Leather strap handmade by the Lakota tribe.  The  black strap shown here is made from American Buffalo hide and is super soft to provide hours of comfortable playing.  The last piece to this ensemble is the staff favorite BlueChip Pick made in Knoxville TN.  All the guys here carry these in their pockets to play any chance they get. 


Is there a banjo man or woman on your list this year?  We have several amazing banjos to choose from, but here is just one of our favorites.  This is the Ome Celtic 11" Old Time.  Made from Curly Maple All Solid wood made in North America.  This banjo has beautiful inlays and a great sound.  It comes with a deluxe hardshell case.  This banjo looks and sounds great.  We can put together the whole set up for you with a strap, picks, tuner and whatever else that catches your eye.

 




Finally, here's a Mandolin that just came through the door.  We've had a Stonebridge Mandolin before and it was phenomenal, this one is just as amazing.  The Stonebridge MF-22 features a Spruce top and Maple back and sides to give it that great tone.  It has a gloss top and satin back and sides which gives it a unique look.  It comes with an oblong hardshell case.  Of course we can set this or any mandolin up with a quality strap and picks to complete the package. 



Our shelves are stocked with merchandise right now so stop by and check out our selection.  We offer expert set up for every instrument we sell to make sure it's ready to be played as soon as it goes out the door.
