LR Baggs AEG-1 I got to strum on a prototype of this guitar a year ago , but at NAMM 2025 , I had some oneon-one time with the Sunburst Sitka Spruce model . I have always loved the idea of having a thin-body acoustic and I ’ ve owned ( past tense ) a couple . Bottom line , this is one that I would like to own . It feels acoustic . It sounds acoustic . Well done . MAP $ 1,599 Worship Musician Shop
REVV Shawn Tubbs Tilt Drive / Boost Pedal The REVV booth is packed throughout the show . I snuck in early on Friday and got to sit , play , and listen . When I turned on the Shawn Tubbs Tilt , I told my buddy Joe that if I could sound like that at home … I ’ d play more electric guitar ! MAP $ 249 revvamplification . com
