Besides being the finest in their field, there is a very real connection between this Continental GT and the RB Continental case.
It’s the exhilarating attitude, the rewarding experience of stepping up to undisputed quality… and the prestige that comes with it.
That exhilaration is shared by both the buyer and the seller.

When I go out on Saturday night, I like to dress up for stepping out. I put on my leather jacket and hit the town with a confidence and verve that only comes from looking good. And, like most people, I like the smell of leather. It’s the same type of thinking I have in taking care of my instruments. On Saturday night, I want my instrument to put on its Reunion Blues leather gig bag and be ready for action. When I walk into the club or venue, I have verve.
But I don’t wear my leather jacket all the time. Sometimes I go a little more casual. The same with my Reunion Blues Continental guitar case. Super protective, lightweight and still totally fashionable. Day in and day out, I can help my guitar absorb the bumps of life in a Continental and not worry about it! Sort of like an insurance policy but with a lot more style! And I still have verve.
If you love your instrument, you deserve Reunion Blues. If you don’t love your instrument, you are in the wrong game. May I suggest Tiddly Winks?

Ah, the difficulties of living in the San Francisco Bay Area. Two of the biggest living guitar gods are playing on the same night: March 2nd, 2011. Both of these guys got a lot of spin time on my old turntable back in the days of my youth and they still retain a special place in my heart and ears. Jeff Beck is playing at The Fillmore Auditorium in San Francisco; the historic, legendary Fillmore. Robin Trower is playing at the Mystic Theatre in Petaluma CA, 35 minutes north of SF and hometown of Ace Products and Reunion Blues. Life can be hard, but this is too much.
Jeff Beck is arguably the greatest modern guitar player and I have never seen him perform live. With his supersonic approach, he gets sounds from the guitar that can be more alien than human. As fellow blogger Brett Paley noted, Jeff Beck gets musical notes that are sometimes unfamiliar to our ears as they can be in between the 13 western notes. (wham that bar like a sitar!). Or he can play a melody so sweet that you want to cry.
Robin Trower is one of the Hendrix disciples that carved his own style out of the psychedelic blues movement. He wrote songs of intrigue and imagery that still stand the test of time like “Bridge of Sighs” and “Too Rolling Stoned.” He started with Procol Harum but quickly moved on. Trower is less known than Jeff Beck, but still very powerful in his own right.
Can I get a time machine and witness both? I think that is the only way I will be satisfied. Anyone have an opinion on which guitar god I should see that night?

Euphonium players will be happy to learn there is an RB Continental case coming your way soon! The unveiling will take place at the Anaheim NAMM show, January 13, 2011.
While we are waiting, take a look at this NEWS release out of New York.
For 37 years, hundreds of tuba players have gathered here to play Holiday music.
We thought this was pretty crazy until digging a little deeper and discovered “Merry Tuba Christmas” events going on all around the country! Baltimore, Colorado Springs, Kansas City, and Toledo.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS from Reunion Blues!
Banjo players deserve the best.
Our own Dave Andrus recently sat down with BanjoHangout.com member Craig Evans, aka frailin, to talk about the upcoming Reunion Blues Continental case for banjos.
Banjo players, there’s an RB Continental coming for you!
