The Fender Tune – Free App for iOS.
Fender has released a free guitar tuning app for iOS. The Fender Tune includes an auto mode that listens for a plucked string and shows the player how far out of tune it is. Manipulating the tuning peg brings an orange circle to the center of the screen. When the orange circle turns green and you hear a ping, you are in tune. There is also a manual mode for tuning by ear. The app is simple and the interface is clean. It works for acoustic, electric and bass guitars. There are 22 preset alternate tunings included and you can also save your own custom tunings.
The app is compatible with Apple mobile devices running iOS 8.1 or later and is available for download at the App Store. For More information visit http://shop.fender.com/en-US/tuneapp

Breedlove USA Concert Moon Light MSRP $1999
Breedlove has crafted the most textured big sound in a Breedlove Concert acoustic guitar ever... in the lightest guitar body possible. Meet the Breedlove USA Concert Moon Light, handcrafted in Bend, Oregon.
Because sound frequencies travel most efficiently through lighter materials, Breedlove designers sought a solution for the Moon Light that would reduce weight and bring the acoustic guitar to life in a player’s hands. To achieve the results, we conducted extensive Sound Profiling - frequency testing the Sitka tops and mahogany backs. As a result, our tops are thinner, the backs a bit thicker and the sound hole smaller to hit our target fundamental resonance frequency for textured big sound.
We also minimized binding and decoration. Coming in at just 3.5 pounds, the Breedlove USA Concert is almost 25% lighter than the Breedlove Premier Concert Mahogany, which is crafted with the same wood pairings.
The comfort and simple beauty of the Breedlove USA Concert Moon Light acoustic guitar deliver complex notes that are beautiful to the ear with the robust big instrument sound of much larger guitar designs. For more information visit www.breedlovesound.com

Michael Kelly Mod Shop 50 Burl Burst Retail Price $699.99
The highly figured burl top with the burst specially created to feature that exotic wood is undoubtedly what will first get your attention. However with this Mod Shop collaboration between Michael Kelly Guitars and Seymour Duncan the sound is what will keep you. The Duncan Quarter Pounder set delivers fat, sparkly tones and the MK Quad Mod electronics modification expands your sonic options. This is an amazing instrument, no collection is complete without it.
The Quad Mod gives you the traditional three-position tonal performance while adding a valuable 4th pickup setting. This added tonal option turns on both neck and bridge pickups in series which is a thick and punchy tone much like a humbucker. However considering the two coils are located in completely different locations on the guitar the tone is as unique as it is useful and a welcome addition to the standard two single coil pickup configuration. https://www.
