In addition to all of the above, Studio L is home to a collection of vintage guitars, amps, keyboards, and drums that are used on a regular basis and sound as good as they did back in the day. Also in residence is a real-deal 1966 Cavalier Coca-Cola vending machine that is still in operation - by far, the coolest piece of gear in the house.
