Sweaty palms, spontaneous rain showers… Sometimes even your guitar needs a raincoat. The polymer shield of coated strings does the heavy lifting! Let's just hope your guitar doesn't start singing in the shower! 🥵 🌧 🚿🎸

Sometimes you need to feel the bass in your bones, and give your music that extra 'oomph' it didn't know it needed. Baritone guitars allow you to do that without committing to those pesky bass lessons. 🤭 🤫 🎸

Leo Fender's approach to tonewoods: 'Why break the bank on rare woods when you can get about the same tone from that old fence you've been meaning to replace?' Frugal and functional—that's the Fender way! 💸🎸

The truss rod is the unsung hero of every guitarist's neck—literally. Without it, our guitars would be bending more than a yoga instructor at a contortionist convention! 🧘🎸

It took a Leo Fender revolutionizing the guitar industry with his solid-body design, for Gibson to suddenly realize 'Wait a minute, maybe there's something to this whole broomstick-with-a-pickup thing after all!' 💡🎸 And the rest is history... 😎

Ibanez's Artist series was their declaration of independence in the guitar world. They waved goodbye to imitation and stepped into the spotlight with guitars that will later say: “We're not just following the trend anymore; we're setting it!” 😎🎸

Leo Fender really wanted those bridge covers. He must have been puzzled when they became the center of a game of musical chairs. One minute they’re on, shielded strings; the next they’re off, moonlighting as ashtrays! Talk about a versatile piece of hardware!😅

Imagine a world without the truss rod patent of 1921. Guitars would be bending more than a politician's promises during an election year! 🎸 Thaddeus McHugh: the man behind the rod that keeps guitars in line.

Start your day on a high note with the only breakfast rig that lets you shred while you spread! 🎸🍳 🥓 🍞☕ Who said guitarists don’t do mornings? A Continental Stratobreakfaster paired with a Fuzz Toantoaster & a Hottie Toaster amp, and voilà… Morning riffs with crispy tone.

Nancy Sinatra, the accidental godmother of fuzz? Her search for that 'fuzzy, cozy' feeling paved the way for generations of rockers to crank up the distortion.

Forget smooth jazz, we're talking raw power chords and punk anthems. It's not just strumming; it's a statement. Downstrokes are the secret sauce of punk rock, courtesy of Johnny Ramone. Because why strum gently when you can smash through chords like a musical wrecking ball?

Fun fact: Eugene's Trick Bag isn't just a bag of tricks; it's a musical rollercoaster where Steve Vai channelled Paganini and turned classical violin into electric guitar wizardry.

When your name is a symbol, your guitar might as well be too. Shoutout to Jerry Auerswald (and Schecter) who took Prince's enigma and turned it into six strings of pure gold, white and purple musical magic! 🎸 #PrinceDay
