Love this kind of stuff. We’ve said it before — DeKalb County is full of talented people quietly building cool things.

We ran into Jason Pettinger at the Back Alley Market and got to check out the JDP Harness — a plug-and-play condenser microphone system for acoustic guitars that captures a warm, natural sound without permanently modifying your guitar.

That’s what makes this area special. Artists, makers, musicians, dreamers, small business owners — all building something.
