After a two hour session of visiting the Showalter guitar shop I chose this hand crafted beauty. Serial number 116. You can look it up on YouTube by searching for Showalter Guitars. Steve Showalter is a master craftsman and his guitar building skills with attention to detail are on point in every aspect. If you take time to check out his wall of guitars maybe tell him that a guy from Arizona recommends him highly. I'll post a couple pictures of my OM style guitar here.

I am visiting from Texas and Jeremy gave me a great price on a Martin dxmae. I couldn't resist so I will be bringing back a guitar to Tx. Did not intend too bc I'm visiting my daughter, a traveling nurse. Driving back to Tx with my Martin. Small town feel with friendly service. If you haven't stopped in, I would recommend a visit. You could walk out with a guitar like myself. It was fun just to hang around and try a variety of brands, especially the guitars that were out of my price and league. Houston, we need this kind of guitar shop and service. We have guitar center back home, which I like, but this place blew me away. Ya'll try them out.

I had been looking for a specific case for my Eastman mandolin and they went above and beyond to get it for me. Every other Music Store would simply tell me no they don't carry it.

A super nice person. This is a music store and also offers other items like some nice clothes etc.I've browsed in plenty of music stores in my lifetime and when I did in this one my dream guitar was hanging up and waiting for me. A used Gretsch Streamliner. So we talked and I was able to put it on lay-a-way. But then Covid-19 came along and changed everything! The guy who had consigned it picked it up and brought it home...which nobody blames him with the virus running around and trying to attack anyone or anything it could (and still does!). But Chris came through like the person he is...someone who cares. And we talked and he ordered me another one. And this one turned out to be an even better guitar as far as the playability and instead of the reddish type finish, it was.... I decided on a nice Walnut. Talk about beautiful!... Thank you, Chris.
