We have spent the past week putting the finishing touches on our shop, and things are coming together perfectly! Picks have been flying off the shelves like crazy and we have been replacing them with new pieces just as fast.

Here are some picks that are in our shop right now, but don't wait--we know from experience that they will be gone before ya know it!
