Evans Music City is now a Suhr Dealer!

Suhr Guitars - Expanding thge Experience of Tone!

Suhr guitars are the result of John Suhr's passion to design and build the best instruments possible. A diverse artist lineup who choose Suhr guitars indicates Suhr's designs cater to any player's style and taste. These are truly hand-built guitars, each assembled by one builder.

S1 S4We are especially excited to have the Pro Series S1 and S4 models due in our store by August. The Suhr Pro Series models offer set specs (no options) and limited color options at slighltly above standard production pricing. According to Suhr's website:

The quality of the Pro Series is as good as our tricked-out Custom jobs - you simply choose a model and a color and experience the Suhr quality for serious gigging or your personal musical enjoyment without breaking the bank. Whether you are a current custom-job Suhr owner or a player looking to move up to a Suhr from the typical mass production guitars, the Suhr Pro Series guitar provides all the qualities and features you've come to expect from Suhr.

Evans Music City is proud to add Suhr to our lineup of pro grade and high end brands!

Evans Music City is proud to be a Benevante Bass dealer!

Benavente basses are the ultimate in handbuilt high end basses. Custom built by Chris Benavente himself, these instruments are as unique as the players who choose these basses.

We now have in stock a Benavente SCD 5 Single Cut. Ecuadorian rosewood comprises the top and back with a mahogany core, ebony fretboard, multi ply 35" scale maple neck w/rosewood streamers. Electronics are a Benavente - designed pickup and preamp combination. Here's more about the electronics from Benavente's website:

"The Benavente 3 band eq system is an 18v standard setup. The unique feature about this preamp is that at center detent, there is absolutely no preloaded EQ curves. There is absolutely no tonal differences between switching from passive to active at center detent.. This allows the player to have a true flat starting point with the instrument and understanding of the instruments natural tone. Almost every other preamp on the market is pre colored."

Words and images cannot come close to describing this awesome bass so come in to Evans Music City and check it out!!!

Taye Drums are now at Evans Music City!

Pronunciation: Taye sounds like “tie” in necktie.

The Taye Manufacturing Company was established in 1975 to provide drums and hardware for other musical instrument manufacturers behind the scenes. By 1999, Taye Drums had become a key supplier to the music industry and felt strongly that the time was right to develop their own line of drums. The Taye Drums philosophy is that good drums need not cost a fortune and should be widely accessible. Taye Drums set out to create truly innovative instruments and now Taye Drums can claim over twenty proprietary features. Taye Drums does everything in-house from drum shell making to chroming to crafting those wonderful mirror lacquer finishes and even fabricates their own drumheads. This unprecedented level of control promotes excellence. In a few short years, Taye Drums have been universally acclaimed as finely conceived, well constructed, and superior sounding drums. The astounding thing is that Taye Drums are priced affordably. This is no accident and represents Taye Drums’ commitment to efficiency of design and integrated workflow.

Taye Drums are available in 6 models, 4 styles and an extensive range of configurations and sizes. Key design elements such as tension lugs, tom clamps, mounting brackets and spurs are virtually the same throughout all models.
