Yngwie once said "Less is more...how can that be? It's impossible...more is more!"
But he isn't known for playing Les Pauls, is he?
We know our Les is more, so here's more pictures of our Les.
And we have more Les-s to rent to you if you need more Les.

Took some screenshots of the Jonus Brothers video for Cool. We supplied the instruments! Funny, my personal guitar straps are bigger stars than I ever was!
Yes!
Every now and then it's good to stop and take a look around. It's not often we get to load out during sunset in Miami.

...four, five, six, maybe seven festivals later? But who's counting? It's turned out to be a very hot time this summer at the ol' Avatar Events Group. And there's no sign of cooling off or slowing down... On the road and on local stages, Avatar Events Group has it covered. Hope y'all are having as much fun as we are! 07/12/16
...and that's two truckloads of Avatar gear headed over to Shaky Knees Music Fest! Taking care of five stages, doing backline for over twenty bands as well as another busy weekend full of our regular gigs. It's our clients: the bands, promoters and venues that continue to support Avatar Events Group and rely our techs and gear as they have for over twenty years. See y'all this weekend at Shaky Knees!
...Hello Cleveland! Avatar Events Group's very own Terrence Mc taking things on the road and up to Ohio for a corporate event. Getting a bit of sightseeing in along with "ol' #6" along the way. A big thank you to Terrence for always keeping it moving forward and handling the gigs like a champ! It's how we like to do it here at Avatar Events Group- whether the gig is in town or out of state, it's the same quality gear with some of the best backline techs in the business! (photos: Terrence M.)
...thanks to all involved at the SweetWater 420 Fest and, of course, thanks to all who attended this year's show. Avatar's own co-owner Mr. Kenny Cresswell kept the main stage at the festival running smoothly. Kenny's stage featured headliners Kid Rock, Bastille and Ludachris. Our guys Adam K., Derek, Cody and Terrence (not pictured, because he's too handsome) held it down and kept The Disco Biscuits, AWOL Nation, The Roots, Rebelution and Robert DeLong doing what they do best, playing great and giving great performances. It's all in a day's (...well, maybe a week's) work. And as always here at Avatar Events Group, we're happy to be doing the work for our clients and doing the best job we can while we're at it! Always good times!
...a busy couple of weeks around here at the ol' Avatar Events Group! One of the highlights has been making the acquaintance of Mr. Greg Howard, one of the three "monkeys" over at 3 Monkeys Amps. Greg and his partners over at 3 Monkeys Amps are true champions of tone in today's jungle of guitar amplification. We here at Avatar Events Group are excited and very proud to announce that we have TWO amps from the 3 Monkeys' line headed our way. There's an Orangutang 1x12 combo (based off the original prototype chassis) and a Sockmonkey 18/12 combo (looking sharp in a two tone scheme, "fawn & ivory") that will be in our permanent inventory very shortly, ready to rent for your next gig or session. Thanks again to Greg and all at 3 Monkeys Amps! We ain't monkeying around when we tell ya that you'll go bananas over the tone (...you knew we had to say it, we couldn't resist). 03/28/16
...movies! ...cruise ships! ...rehearsals! ...shows throughout the Southeast and even in Mexico! Incredibly busy and it's only six weeks into the new year! Thank you to all the amazing bands, directors & promoters in our ever-growing roster of clients here at the ol' Avatar Events Group. 02/15/16
...and we're back! This year at the NAMM Show out in (kinda) sunny Anaheim CA was the best one yet for us here at Avatar Events Group! The continued support from old friends who are THE leaders in the industry is overwhelming! Equally exciting are the new relationships that Avatar Events Group is developing with gear companies that are rapidly becoming mainstays on our stages. We always say that we're only as good as the company we keep and we are fortunate to know some of the best! Good times throughout 2016 for sure!
...last week the folks at Fox Sports were in town over at the Variety Playhouse in L5P to shoot a video with Rob Riggle for the NFL Pre Game Show. The video aired on Thanksgiving Day on Fox sports and it was another sharp witted parody, this time of Bon Jovi's "Wanted Dead or Alive". Rob Riggle fronted his band on the Variety Playhouse stage filled with backline gear from us here at the ol' Avatar Events Group. and, check out our buddy Cheney Brannon on the drums (...like, where else would he be?) And again, thanks to Godin Guitars (as mentioned in the previous post) for sending us some of the guitars featured in the video. Notice the opening shot that features the Seagull "Artist Studio" with the P90s and the Bigsby. Now that's show business! You can see the video here: https://youtu.be/BK9NZ-3vWyI
...a very big thank you to Bob Burbonus, artist relations with Godin Guitars and Duesenberg Guitars! Bob and all the fine folks at Godin sent us a Godin Montreal Premiere (...sunburst with a Bigsby, classy!) and a Godin Passion Custom (not pictured). The acoustic side of things was represented by shipping us a Seagull Artist Studio (sunburst) and a Seagull Artist Studio in a natural finish with a cutaway. These fine instruments have been unpacked, tuned up, played & admired here in our shop... Then the guitars were prep'd, put back in their cases, then into the road cases. The guitars are headed (along with a whole lot of other backline) down to Mexico to appear on stage at both the "Strings & Sol" and "Closer To The Sun" music festivals. Thanks again to Bob and everyone at Godin Guitars! 11/19/15
...loud 'n' proud! Master volume(s) are not always needed... But earplugs are definitely needed when these show up to the gig. Two Marshall 100 watt-ers getting ready to head out. 11/05/15
...thank you David B. up there in Nashville and all the fine folks at Peavey Electronics! David was kind enough to help us get this Trace Elliott TA200 acoustic amp for a series of upcoming shows. Eventually this amp will come back to the shop in December, only after it wraps up its time on the road by showing up on stage down at the "Strings & Sol Festival" in Morelos Mexico. Not a bad start for the latest addition to the rental inventory here at Avatar Events Group. Thanks again Peavey!
