Happy Spring

The days are getting longer and the spring flowers are starting to work their way skyward. We hope for a few more big snowstorms here on the Colorado front range to help make our summer nice and green (and fire free), but for now its mostly just dry. We hope this finds you healthy, happy and doing good work. Things are humming along at Grace Design, with a few really exciting new products in the works for 2018, so stay tuned for many cool things to come.

Billy Strings

Our friend Billy Strings stops by the shop now and again on his way to whatever festival he's about to burn down. Case in point: his set at SXSW just left the crowds and Rolling Stone magazine with their jaws on the floor. He is a tireless performer and bone crushing flatpicker and we're proud to have him as a Grace artist. He and most of his his band rely on BiX preamps to get loud and clean while still have their acoustic instruments ring true.
