Colorado Guitar Emporium is proud to carry G & L guitars.  This brand represents the finest award winning instruments of Leo Fender's career that are played by professionals worldwide.  Leo Fender & George Fullerton founded the Fender Musical Company, eventually selling this to CBS in the 1960s.  Later, Leo & George returned to instrument making with G&L.  Leo's widow and George are still with G & L, where Leo worked until the day he died.  

Unlike many guitars, no G & L lacks great tone and personality.  Each guitar they make, whether their USA made or Tribute series, represents the best a Strat, bass, or Tele ought to be.  All their guitars use US hardware, high output pickups, heavy duty fret-wire, and beautiful finishes.  

Heritage Guitars began in the 1980s when several executives and factory workers from the original Gibson factory in Kalamazoo, MI were faced with their factory closing and moving to Tennessee.  .  In the tradition of the classic Gibson instruments they produced for years, these fine luthiers formed the Heritage Guitar Company and began handcrafting the finest guitars America has to offer.  Each Heritage guitar is a handcrafted instrument of solid woods, wonderful playability, and beautiful finishes.  These instruments are the best of what Handcrafted USA quality is all about, and unlike other US manufacturers whose standards have slipped, Heritage makes the finest instruments available.  

We are proud to carry THD, Mack, Henriksen, and Blackheart amplifiers.  

Andy Marshall founded THD with a goal of producing the finest class A boutique amplifiers, but made them both affordable and light weight.  With on board power soaking attenuators, a THD produces fantastic sound whether loud or turned down.  Because of this, performers can enjoy making great rock and roll even at the local coffee house without getting kicked out.  These amps compare with other brands costing 3-4 times as much, but weigh less and are more versatile.  THD amps are able to use different types of tubes, allowing players to change tubes as theri tastes change rather than having to buy a new amp. 

Henriksen amplifiers were made with the Jazz and acoustic musician in mind.  These amps amplify the actual sound of your instrument without coloring the tone, and the result is full range acoustic beauty.  Whether for jazz or acoustic, the on board parametric EQ will give you the maximum clean tone from your instrument, while weighing in at just over 6 lbs. 

Mack amplifiers are a boutique line of tube amplifiers that hail from Canada and are built with the toughness and quality you would expect of amplifiers costing two to three times as much.  Whether their Skyraider or Heatseaker model, buying a Mack will give a pro model of gear you can keep the rest of your life, at half to a third less than many other boutique amplifiers. 

Blackheart provides our customers with a great sounding tube amp at an unbeatable price.  These great amps give great tube tone for unbeatable value.  Come try one today!
