Hello and welcome to Bluegrass Shack Productions! We specialize in acoustic instruments and accessories for bluegrass and folk
musicians. We hope that you'll find just what you're looking for here.
Our site is constantly being updated, so keep checking back. If there is something in particular
that you are looking for, feel free to contact us. We also have a blog that you might want to visit.
It has all kinds of information about our store, instrument repair, bluegrass music in general, lessons, personal
experiences, etc.
We are located in New Athens, Illinois, near the Kaskaskia River. We're in a very small town with no fast food restaurants and
no stoplights! However, we do have several nice family restaurants and a marina. We host an acoustic jam session every other Tuesday right here
at our shop. Click here for a schedule and more detailed information.
You can view a video clip from our April 14th jam: YouTube video.
Our store hours are Monday through Thursday from 1:00 - 9:00 p.m.; Fridays from 1:00 - 7:00 p.m.; and Saturdays from 10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. We do close early from time to time, so if you plan on driving a long distance, please call us first at 618-475-3678.
You may also call us for a special appointment if you would like to come at a time that we are not generally open. PLEASE NOTE: We will be closed on Saturday, May 18, 2013.
We ship items out as soon as possible after we receive your order. If you
are ordering an instrument, we need to have a street address -- not a P.O. Box! We use FedEx to ship and insure all our instruments. FedEx comes for pickups on
Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays. We ship the same day or the next pickup day after you place your order. We just need time to setup your instrument (we
don't ship instruments "factory setup" or no setup). You will receive a tracking number directly from FedEx that will tell you the exact day to expect delivery.
We ship FedEx Ground unless you would like to pay extra for faster shipping.
If you are ordering accessories without an instrument, your package will be shipped USPS, unless you would like to pay extra for faster shipping. We ship the same day
or the next day after you place your order on all in-stock items. If the item you ordered is out of stock, you will receive an e-mail from us letting you know that we don't have the item
in stock, and you have the option to cancel your order for a refund, or wait for the item to come in. If you have questions about our instruments, accessories, shipping & delivery,
or anything else, please ask! We'll do our best to help you in any way we can.

If you have a used or vintage instrument that you would like to sell or trade, please contact us by e-mail or phone (located at the
top of each page of this site). We are especially in need of used & vintage upright basses! Chris' Students - Click here for Chris' 2013 Private Lesson Schedule. 2013 Tuesday Night Jam Schedule
