This edition of Hidden Gems finds the Electric Staff sharing their current favorite pedal in the shop.

"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."

Our newest staff member (and fantastic guitarist), Andrew Stern, shares his current Hidden Gems picks in #18 of our show & tell series.

In this edition, Rachael takes us through a few of her favorite electrics currently in the shop right now. Link in bio!

In our 16th edition of Hidden Gems, Ian takes us through 4 of his current favorite instruments in the shop. Looking for a new instrument recommendation? This is your place.

"I've always had an affinity for the slightly unconventional. Lately, I've been rediscovering the merits of a great semi-hollowbody - hardly unconventional, I realize - though we've got several in stock that are anything but your standard ES-335 copy."

"This is one of the guitars in the shop that punches way above its weight class; and it should be considered by anyone in the market for a lifetime dreadnought."

"This is the guitar I keep picking up when there is a quiet moment in the shop at the end of the day. For a small guitar, it has a big sound and a unique voice. It’s one of those instruments that is particularly rewarding to play because it almost seems to play itself."

With the 50th Anniversary of Pink Floyd's Dark Side Of The Moon Album upon us, we thought it'd be fun to look at gear from our inventory that will help you capture the band's classic tones from the album.

The first Hidden Gems of 2023 finds us taking a closer look at the extraordinary b3 Telstar. For me, this is an endlessly fascinating guitar that masterfully, and creatively, combines two iconic Fender models - the Telecaster and Stratocaster - into something refreshingly new.

It's the end of 2022 as we know it, and we feel...more than fine. Appreciative and already a little nostalgic. Let's take a look back at some of what made this past year memorable.

This week we pose "the imaginary pile of money" question to long-time TME staffer, Tim:

"So you're gifted $10K to buy anything in the shop....what do you buy?"

"One of the best things about working at The Music Emporium is talking with people about the instruments, bands, music, and sounds that inspire them. At the end of the day that’s why we’re all here. I hope this list provides context for some of my favorite guitars and inspires you to explore new musical avenues."

"One of the absolute best parts of my role here at TME is working one-on-one with clients to take their pedalboards to the next level."

"I’ve had the opportunity to spend quality time with iconic instruments as well as ones I’ve never heard of before which has been a privilege as well as an education."

"Some of these I own. Others I wish I owned. All of them occasionally keep me up at night."

This week Steven shares the instruments that are making him tick right now. Have a look at his thoughtfully curated collection!

This week we're taking a look at Andy's Top 10 Hidden Gems - a varied collection of acoustics with a few electric selections for good measure.

Each week the staff share their personal Top 10 Hidden Gems they think should be on your radar. This week we take a look at Dan's varied picks.
