This week the Fretted Americana Channel on YouTube reached and exceeded three million views.

We're an octave above high C on the news.

And it is all thanks to you, our viewing audience. You've put the whammy-bar on us and we're dazed by your devotion.

It was only a mere five months ago that we were jubilantly jolted by one million vintage guitar aficionados and fans viewing our demonstration videos featuring the amazing Phil X.

We are thrilled to now receive an average of one hundred comments a day. When people take the time to express their thoughts, we listen.

To make your viewing and listening experience the best that it can be, we recently upgraded all of our video and audio recording gear. Now, everything is shot in High-Definition with state of the art digital audio. Our guitars have never looked or sounded better.

I would like to give a personal thank you to our Director of Photography, Dustin Jack, and to our star, the incredible Phil X.

But most of all, thank you, our audience. Without your support and enthusiasm, there would not be much point to any of this.

From the very beginning, my #1 goal for Fretted Americana has been to open up and demystify the world of vintage guitars so that it is not just accessible for mass enjoyment but an optimal experience for the collector and/or player at any level.

Our descriptions and photography are the best in the business yet we continue to strive for even higher degrees of excellence. You deserve it.

Today, our detailed, insightful and highly informative descriptions are better than ever, our photographs are better than ever, and, above all, our commitment to complete disclosure and total honesty remains firm and unshakable.

It is with a great sense of pride that our company is marketing the finest vintage guitars in the world, and that they are all Made in the USA. This is one field of endeavor in which the USA has always led and continues to be the leader to this very day. The electric guitar was born in the USA and America continues to be the boss.

Sincerely,

David Brass

President, Fretted Americana, Inc.
