Press release

The Guitar Lot goes online!
Sept. 4, 2007

The Guitar Lot, a newly formed subsidiary of Soundbridge Pro Audio, is dedicated to fulfilling the needs of ALL guitar players with exceptional deals on exceptional musical instruments & related merchandise.

The “Beach Guitar” series is The Guitar Lot’s first offering, are easily some of the most affordable real instruments available, retailing at just $50.00 USD.

“Most guitarists have their main axe, but hey, they’d be crazy to take that fine two-thousand dollar name-brand instrument to the beach or a ski trip.” explains The Guitar Lot’s founder Jimi Yamagishi,. “So, for about the price of a tank of gas, any musician can own a decent-sounding, good playing instrument that can be used for recreation, or spur of the moment inspiration, in places that you would not want to risk leaving or carrying your primary piece.”

The “Beach Guitars” are all new, with full year warranties. Jimi adds: “One of the first people to buy a Beach Guitar came back recently to have a pickup added, because he said not only sounded good, but also handled the abuse of local open mic crowds better than his [name-brand] guitar!” Another exceptionally skilled artist described how much fun it was to get up on stage with a cheap guitar, then blow away the crowd with some flashy chops, proving that “It’s your hands & heart, not the hardware” as Jimi is often quoted as saying.
Also unique to The Guitar Lot is their understanding of guitar fanatics.

“Guitar players love their guitars,” say Jimi. “There is a plethora of merchandise, T-shirts, stickers & tchokes of famous & recognized instruments, but what if you play a unique or custom-built guitar & really want to proudly display it on a T-shirt or coffee mug? Our affiliation with Planet Pulse allows us to help those fans make it happen at affordable prices in manageable quantities.”

The Guitar Lot also features “Certified Pre-Owned instruments”, new instruments, parts & accessories.
The Boneyard” section is of particular interest to many aspiring luthiers & guitar techs.

“Guitarists are creative people, but sometimes those creations are a little less than perfect.” Jimi says grinning. “We have ‘woodshop’ projects, weird necks & pickups, bridges & parts that we’ve traded or inherited that are perfectly useable & a great value for someone looking to build or hotrod something special.   For example, aftermarket saddles are readily available, but if you don’t have a bridgeplate, they’re not cost-effective to buy new, & almost impossible to find used. Because we’re also a full service guitar shop, we do have parts like that. Then there’s those bodies that never became instruments, like this fiberglass laminated particleboard bass body over in the corner, or these cool 2X4 pine stud bodies.” He remarks: “Actually the original Fender prototypes were made of pine, as were some fine vintage lap-steels, so this kind of stuff could really work well in the right hands, & we’re selling it cheap enough to be worth a try!”
