red_eye9 In our never ending quest to offer our clients the best products to be found anywhere Guitar Tex has added the wonderful Red Eye acoustic instrument preamplifier. Completely hand made in Austin one at a time by Darren Appelt, the Red Eye preamplifier and the Red Eye Twin for 2 instruments in one unit have developed a cult following among acoustic purists who realize the need for pickups to be heard, but can’t stand having an active preamp in your guitar. Absolutely the best preamp for passive pickups like the K&K Pure Mini. The Red Eye has a list price of $250.00 and sells for $195.00. That could be the best $200.00 you’ll spend to get the tone you deserve.

CURT MANGAN STRINGS! We’ve had Curt Mangan make “Guitar Tex” custom gauged sets of acoustic strings for years and our customers love  them. The only problem with that is that some folks love them so much that they will come in and buy our entire stock of a particular gauge or type of string. We have a big order coming in May 1st and we will have everything in stock.

########################################################## No other store in South Texas has the selection of quality acoustic guitars, mandolins, banjos, and ukuleles, and a smaller selection of electric guitars and basses. There are “boutiques” that sell nothing but the most expensive instruments and there are stores that sell a lot of so-so stuff that you can pretty well find anywhere with maybe a few nice pieces here and there. At GUITAR TEX even our entry level guitars are guitars that we can sell with pride, knowing that we’re offering a quality product with excellent service before and after the sale.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               ################################################################                                                                                                                 ################################################################ MANDOLINS*MANDOLINS*MANDOLINS.

WE HAVE THE BEST SELECTION OF QUALITY ACOUSTIC GUITARS IN SAN ANTONIO. PERIOD.

HOORAY FOR THE INTERNET! It gave us this website, wonderful ways for immediate contact with people all over the globe, and access to information we never dreamed would be so readily available.                                                               HOWEVER……………..playing the guitar is a very personal thing, and having it in your hands, hearing it for yourself, feeling it, then talking to someone who truly knows all about that instrument. You can’t get that on your laptop. So we depend on people coming in the door and playing our guitars. Talk to me or Gus, or repairman John Thurston and you’ll find 3 people who are passionate about what we do.                                                                                                                                   Gus Wanner has a wealth of knowledge about guitars, fretted instruments and their history that is unsurpassed in San Antonio. John Thurston, as I’ve said before, is the most skilled all-around guitar repair person in Texas and can offer advice to those in need. Me, I’m just a pretty decent guitar player who also has some skills in repair and has translated a love of stringed instruments into a life’s work.                                                                                                                                    So if you’d like to send an email or text, friend us on Facebook, that’s great and please do, but it would be best if you stopped in to see us in person.

My roots are showing & they are all gray. I worked as an usher at all of the shows listed below on the Fillmore East marquee circa Dec. 1969- Jan. 1970. I  Below is the poster of the recent employee reunion party, which I attended. No concerts that I have seen since matched the great moments I witnessed at the Fillmore East. I’m honored to have been a small part of the family at the Fillmore East.
