I realize this is a guitar forum, but I need to share some great news. I just received this beautiful cello FOR FREE because it was in need of some love. As some of you may know, I dabble in lutherie. I’m happy to fix this baby up and donate it to my son’s music school. They have agreed to loan or donate it to an underprivileged student who otherwise wouldn’t be able to pursue music. The why: this school is responsible for helping my 15 year old son gain confidence, not just in playing music, but also in life. I’m so glad to have the opportunity to pay this forward. 🎉

well if youve read before i have like a sticker addiction..i got this set frim Temu and decided to put on my 5150 cab..what you think?

Hey everyone 👋 On this Labor Day, we want to pause and recognize the hard work, dedication, and perseverance it takes to build something meaningful. That applies not only to us as a small family-owned company, but to you, our community, for being here and helping us shape Omni Guitars from the ground up. 💪 First off, I just want to say thank you! Omni Guitars is still here, alive and well, and that’s because of you, our founding members. This past year has been an amazing journey full of growth, lessons, and a few setbacks along the way. We’ve learned so much about what it takes to run a community-driven brand like this, and while we’ve made mistakes, we’re committed to making things better moving forward. 🙏 Here’s the truth: running a group and business like this costs real money. Shipping, product development, giveaways, keeping the lights on… it all adds up. If we could give away a free guitar or pedal every day, trust me, we would 🎸and have aspirations to make that happen. But the reality is if we did that, we’d go broke very quickly. That’s the tough balance we’ve been working to figure out. At the end of the day, we’re a small family-owned company doing this out of love for the guitar ❤️, not money. We’ve done our best to give out free or heavily discounted gear, like the free strings we send out even though they cost us every single month, because we believe in making music more accessible. But we also need to find a way to sustain this so it lasts for the long haul. Right now, we’re in a regrouping phase. We’ve got some exciting projects in the works 🚀, but they take time (and money 😅). One thing we’ve realized is that we need to do a better job of sharing our vision with you. Omni means “all” or “every,” and that’s the heart of this brand: to build something where everyone feels they belong and their voice matters. This community was never meant to just be about “what’s in it for me?” It’s about what we can do together to make a bigger impact. Our long-term vision is to launch a nonprofit to give guitars and lessons to military veterans, first responders, kids, and anyone battling mental health challenges. 💪 Music has the power to heal, break down walls, and carry people through dark times. That’s the bigger picture. 🌍✨
