Total Vise Sponsored Event

The Looth Group has its first sponsor! Doug and Dan have long had a productive relationship with Jeff Howard (Total Vise) leading to such innovations as Proper’s Guitar Workstation, which Doug demo’s in detail. Guitars can’t have all the fun, so Luke takes cellos and basses for a ride.
