Hidden Gems #20
Hidden Gems #20
We’re excited to welcome the Toronto-based Frank Brothers Guitar Company to The Music Emporium family!
Thanks to a glowing recommendation from our friend, Toronto-based master builder Joseph Yanuziello, we recognized right away that these guitars were something special. We were not disappointed!
Just in time for the season, enjoy 10% off everything in this collection!
Inspired by Bob Taylor’s original designs, the Legacy Collection guitars capture the essence of Taylor’s history, blending the classic design elements that put the brand on the map with the innovations that have kept Taylor at the forefront of acoustic guitar-making.
One of our favorite independent builders, Laurent Brondel, has launched a new line of electric guitars and was kind enough to walk us through them during a recent shop visit. The first guitar sold instantly with the second available now.
"In this installment of our Hidden Gems Series, I'm taking a look at some of the gear that's on my current 'want list'. My priority these days is finding ways to stay inspired and recording/writing, so the gear I'm drawn to helps me do just that.
My hope is that something on this list inspires you to keep playing and exploring." ~Eliot
Introducing the Collings Hill Country Series, a new voice in the Collings acoustic lineup that brings rich, warm tones with a dry, woody character.
Available in both dreadnought and OM body shapes, these models come in 1-style (mahogany) and 2-style (rosewood) versions and are only available through a small number of dealers of which we're proud to be one.
Please contact us for more info.

★★★★★S. RuleIf you're looking to purchase a quality instrument, this is the place. When you enter, it feels as such, comfortable rugs and sofas and a crew ready to assist. And if you aren't aware, it's one of the few such places in the U.S. Do yourself a favor and stop by, even if you're just browsing.
★★★★★C. JonesOne of the most beautiful music shops I have visited. Each guitar on their four walls is meticulously selected and/or custom built by leading luthiers/companies. Thank you Music Emporium for a seamless purchase and service. You deliver best-in-class across the board.
★★★★★M. CohnThis is one of the best guitar shops in the country - period. Their selection is insanely good - across all price points - and they are honest, great people who treat everyone well. They’re also very fair and straightforward with trade-in values - better than any other shop I’ve dealt with - and don’t try to upsell you.
★★★★★G. MatthewsThe Music Emporium offers musicians a superior retail instruments and gear experience, both as a walk-in and online store. Living on the opposite side of the country from TME, I was amazed at the ease of the purchasing and delivery process.
★★★★★J. CrouchA truly outstanding guitar buying experience! The selection at the ME is unmatched, particularly in their showcasing of up-and-coming builders. The knowledge of the staff and their willingness to take the time to listen to my needs was appreciated.
