Maury's Blog

At Maury's Music, we play the products we sell.  Maury has performed onstage with some very talented local musicians over the years, and they're all fans of Maury's Music.  :)

Maury visited Brothers Music Shop in Wind Gap, PA.  Dave & Rich are good friends of ours and their years of experience working at Martin Guitar has fueled their passion for instrument repair.

Do you consider what neck joint your next electric guitar will have? Should you?

"The prevailing opinion I’ve found online is that Set-Neck guitars carry vibrations better than a Bolt-On. This means that, in theory, the Set-Neck guitar should vibrate more easily and the sustain of the notes should be longer than on a comparable Bolt-On guitar. The amount of difference claimed has a lot to do with who you ask. Some players will say that there is a slight difference while others will assert that the difference is huge (I get visions of Nigel Tufnel from Spinal Tap when I hear this)."

The Holiday season means spending time with the family, relaxing and reflecting as the year approaches it's end. It also means gift lists, crowded malls and the headaches involved with both. Well Maury's Music is here to help. We've come up with some great stocking stuffer ideas sure to bring a smile to your guitar players' faces that you can pick up from the comfort of your own home. Take some of the holiday stress out of your life so you can spend more time enjoying the season.

This week we take a look at two of Martin's most iconic dreadnoughts, the D28 and the D35.

Maury visited Blues Creek Guitars in Hegins, PA with our pal John Hall.  Maury & John chatted for a bit & we get a peek at a pre 1890 Martin Guitar!

Winter is coming. Time for sleigh rides, hot chocolate and cracked tops on our guitars? This week we take a look at the importance acoustic guitar humidification so that your guitar can stay save and you can just worry about enjoying the season.

Hang w/ Maury's Music is a live stream channel hosted by Maury.  Follow him during his day and connect with him on the Hang w/ app.

Maury's old bandmate Lamar Snyder dropped by & the two reconnected on some of their favorite old songs.  Their duo, Cool Change, eventually evolved into a 4-piece band with Nick Roberti on bass & Albie Coccio on drums.

This week we talk mostly about Martin Guitar Neck Profiles and maybe a little about Italian Westerns.
