Our friend’s at Gables Guitar Studio put together an in depth guide to buying an acoustic guitar. It is perfect for those looking to buy a guitar as a gift this Holiday season, but whom are feeling overwhelmed by the seemingly infinite amount of options. My favorite tip in the guide is to steer clear of collector editions (unless, of course, you are a guitar collector). I always seem to gravitate towards “Special Edition Guitars” but in reality I would rather have a high quality guitar than a lower quality special edition. If you are in the market for a new guitar this guide is a MUST read. Also, they will be posting a guide with tips and recommendations to buying electric guitars soon.

There is something about finding a nice pair of headphones. They make you want to listen to music, practice your electronic drum set or simply immerse yourself in your own thoughts. We couldn’t stop ourselves from building a headphone collection and it has come in very handy. For example, we never board a plane without noise canceling headphones and have survived crying-baby-snoring-passenger flights. Now if we could find the equivalent to a smell canceling device we’d all be golden :) Anyhoo, here are come cool headphones we recently stumbled upon: 1. Panasonic RP HTX7 Headphones, 2. Star Wars Headphones, 3. Marshall Major Headphones, 4. Urbanears ‘Plattan’ Headphones Red, 5. Skullcandy Aviator Headphones, 6. Opportunity Rocks Headphones in Hardwood
