We Wish You a Baxter Christmas - Gift Ideas for Every Musician

Hi Baxters and Baxtettes,

This year, we’re featuring one gift idea per day until Christmas Eve.  We want to make it as easy as possible for you to shop for every musician in your life.  

Today, we’d like to introduce you to our selection of small-size guitars.  Kids want to play, but you don’t have to pay — too much, that is.

1/4, 1/2, and 3/4 size kids guitars.  Additional colors available for some styles.

These guitars sound and look great and make terrific starter models.  Call us at (818) 788-7510 for details or come down to the store to test them out.

Here’s a link to the full write up: http://www.laweekly.com/bestof/2012/award/best-sheet-music-store-1892391/
