| By now you've all heard that the album Valleys of
Neptune is scheduled for release March 9th. Listening to Jimi Hendrix is a
sensation that never gets old and here at Allegro the volume of Hendrix music is
about to get turned up! For starters, we're featuring 15% off on all Hendrix print
music for the entire month. We've also restocked the Dunlop Original Crybaby Wah
Pedal - yep, the one you hear in Jimi's awesome intro to Voodoo Child.
Get more info from our Crybaby spotlight in the
guitar effects section. Hear it on the
Dunlop website. |

| February 2010 |
| New arrivals for your guitar: Kyser capos (red,
black, blue, gold), Dunlop capos, Dunlop slides (brass, chromed metal glass & the
Johnny Winter Signature Texas slide), Network guitar stands, Oasis humidifiers (your
guitar is thirsty for this!), and lots of strings - Martin, d'Addario, Elixer. |

| January 2010 |
| We just got this amazing new guitar device called the
O-Port. It's a kind of "acoustic enhancer" that helps deliver a fuller,
richer sound with noticeable increased sustain and harmonic range. The difference
really becomes obvious when you place a mic in front of the instrument. |
|
| It's always great to start the new year on a positive
note. A woman walked in the store today and said, "Hey, your selection of guitar
straps is better than Steve's Music!" Yes, we've got Levy's leather and suede,
and nylon weaves from Planet Waves, Perris and d'Addario. Also, super cool straps
from the TV shows Simpsons (Homer Flames, Homer D'oh, Bart Devil) and South Park (Cartman,
Kenny, Southpark blue, Mr. Hankey)... Howdy Ho! |

| 'Tis the season ... we're unpacking gear and
accessories all day everyday. Stop by for some yuletide cheer. Happy holidays and
all the best of the season to all our friends and customers! ho ho ho |
|
| Strum in tune. New arrivals of the latest
guitar/bass tuners to satisfy novice to pros. Go handy with the Qwik Tune
QT15. It's amazingly simple to use, it's about the same size as a credit card
(half inch thick) and it's inexpensive, but still gets you tuned. For being on stage
this may not be the number one choice, but it's a fine little tuner for a beginner,
any home or rehearsal studio. Batteries included. |
|
| November 2009 |
| More guitar capos in from Dunlop. The Dunlop Trigger
curved capo is a fave. It works well with both electric and acoustic guitars,
and it looks good -- clean and not distracting. It's easily placed, taken off and
moved. Works well all the way down the neck. Comes in black or smoke. Very nice. |
|
| Allegro has been an authorized dealer of Epiphone
guitars since 2005. Epiphone, owned by Gibson, offers more affordable versions
of most Gibson models. We regularly stock the Epiphone SG-Special and the G-310.
Both are replicas of the 1967 Gibson SG. The Special is a standard rock guitar with
no bells and whistles, just 2 tuning knobs and a nice full sound. The G-310 is a bit
more expensive. With 4 tuning knobs, it handles both warm and harsh tones well. And
when you wrap your hand around the neck, its easy to feel like Angus Young or Tony
Iommi. More at epiphone.com |

| Good news. Yamaha has reduced the retail price on
Yamaha keyboards. So we've restocked and retagged -- YDP140,YDPS31, DGX630, P85,
PSRE413, P155 and a bunch more. Said it before... wish the store had more space
'cause these keyboards are stacked to the ceiling, literally. Anyway, most people
make music because its enjoyable, and Yamaha's latest keyboards are a great way to
get started or continue a lifelong passion. So get a keyboard, then get out there
and groove til you drop. |

| Just landed -- new guitars from Cort including
their Steamborg Assassinator X6 electric with custom graphics by renowned rock
artist Sam Shearon (best known for his work with Iron Maiden, HIM etc.). We've also
restocked their best-selling acoustic, the L100C (ex Earth 70) model in satin and
high gloss finishes. Also from Cort, their MR100F acoustic-electric cutaway with
Fishman preamp and solid spruce top. This superb playing 6-string will surprise even
the diehard high-end players, especially after they hear how affordably priced this
baby is. More at cortguitars.com. |

| Now you and your guitar can both have tattoos.
No, we're not talking about engraving or stamping that might ruin the finish. These
are cling decals that can be added and removed from your guitar anytime you like.
Designs like Devil Girl, Ribbon Skull, Grim Reaper, Ax Clown, Freedom Eagle, Dagger
Rose Skull ... they're are all about the love of music, rebellion, rejection of
society's norms, or freedom of life lived on the open road. |
