Microfrets, toneshed and CMusicShop

June 2, 2008

Some folks who know me know I have a fondness for Microfrets guitars. Microfrets were made in Frederick, MD and we’re originally sold by our store (and many others) in the late sixties to early seventies up until they closed shop. Quirky, weird and in many ways innovative, Microfrets were played by the likes of Carl Perkins (Blue Suede Shoes fame), Mark Farner of Grand Funk and Buddy Merrill of the Lawrence Welk Show to name a few. In any case, this appreciation grew into a website at www.toneshed.com where you can learn more about these strange beasts. Drop in and visit the site, you just might learn something cool!
