A. Davis Unveils New Interactive Website
SAN DIEGO, Calif, July 23, 2008 – A. Davis Guitars, a highly regarded manufacturer of high-end, hand-crafted acoustic guitars, has unveiled its new interactive website, www.adavisguitars.com.
The stylish new website is cutting-edge and features engaging, intimate video of talented session players and touring veterans playing a variety of A. Davis Guitars.
A. Davis Guitars is a collective effort inspired and initiated by Art Davis, who served as a luthier at Taylor Guitars for over a decade before launching his own line of hand-crafted guitars in 1999. After his celebrated stint at Taylor during the renowned manufacturer's heyday, Davis brought his knowledge of the time-honored craft of guitar making to the company that bears his signature.
Since its formation, A. Davis Guitars has continued to expand its overall operations and reach, and has steadily built a loyal and passionate following among players, producers and collectors alike. A. Davis Guitars are especially celebrated for their superior performance in the studio setting.
Grammy Award-winning producer Mark Mancina (The Lion King) has purchased a half dozen A. Davis Guitars, and is among the many artists who hails their versatility, reliability and power on the new site.
"There's a consistency. All these guitars have the same character of being able to be recorded really easily, without doing anything to them, which for me is a luxury," said Mancia. "Acoustic guitars invariably have to be EQed in the mix some way to make them work. I've found with these guitars that they sit in the recording very well."
The testimonials, performances and interviews available on the site are as unique and varied as A. Davis Guitars themselves. From mini-documentaries to professionally shot "Unplugged"-style videos to spontaneous handicam jam sessions, the clips not only showcase A. Davis Guitars, but the many artists who have come to love and trust them. In addition to behind-the-scenes session players like Dean Parks or producers like Mancia, there's also footage of acts like the Doobie Brothers and Keith Urban's touring guitarist, Chris Rodriguez.
A. Davis Guitars are entirely hand-crafted, and only a limited number of guitars are built each year. Clients can order from existing inventory or have their acoustics custom-built. Much of the existing inventory is comprised of guitars that professionals have used or traded back to A. Davis Guitars.
A. Davis Guitars are not sold via the retail channel, and are only available for purchase via the company's official website and word of mouth.
