Babicz Crescent Series
12-String
($2100)
From the brilliant minds at Babicz comes an ingenious solidbody acoustic. Packed with Fishman’s
Aura technology, four acoustic images (including
a Shure SM58 and Neumann condensers), a gorgeous bookmatched maple top and the company’s signature adjustable neck system – allowing
for action adjustments with the turn of one screw
– this could very well be the first 12-string that
you’ve had to purchase. Did we mention it’s completely made in the U.S.?

The String Cleaner
(MSRP $8.95)
Voted Best in Show, the String Cleaner promises to dramatically extend the life of your strings. A microfiber pad made
up of hundreds of thousands of little loops is pulled across
your strings, soaking up all the oil and dirt without chemicals
or solutions. The pads are cleanable under water or in the
dishwasher, and we’re told that the pad itself can last for
several months.
