Nilam Music Acoustic Guitars

	£99	Fender CD60CE MANAGER'S SPECIAL OFFER This is a very good special offer - a decent acoustic guitar with a cutaway for upper fret access and a reasonable active pickup. I have a limited number of these on special - the original price was £145.
	£149	Walden G570 This is a smaller bodied acoustic with a classic "J" style shape. The solid top gives the tone definition - and it is a sweet tone. The sound is full of character for more subtle work, and it is very comfortable on the body. The neck is good, it sits in the hand and plays well. All told this is a very nice guitar.
	£299	Walden G740CE This is Walden's electro-acoustic smaller body cutaway. It sits very comfortably with a good neck that is very playable. The tone is surprisingly full, with a crispness from the natural finish and a solid top. The pickup system is a Fishman Classic 4-Band EQ for control, giving an excellent sound. This system is used on many guitars - often much pricier ones. This is a good value instrument able to cope with being a nice acoustic for home, but also with recording or live.
	£349	Ovation "Heroin Diaries" This is a nice shallow roundback electro-acoustic guitar, with the graphics from Nikki Sixx's famous book. The neck has a slightly slimmer profile for more comfortable profile, and the electrics generate a bright, punchy sound the cut through a mix. Very nice. Normally £399, mine's on special - and I've even added an Ovation gig bag.
	£199	Fairclough Mountain SPECIAL OFFER Fairclough are a relatively new brand to me, but they have become popular. The guitars are robust with a full tone that has a richness unusual for the price. The Mountain series has the "J" shape for comfort and a sweet tone with the solid top. A very comfortable neck rounds off the guitar. These are packaged with a very good gig bag, usually selling for £249.
	£899	Breedlove Atlas 250 Plus Black Magic Magic by name, magic by nature. This is a lovely guitar, rich but punchy tone, good in the hand and it just explodes when plugged in - in a good way. Brilliant guitars normally, this is the very svelte and hard to come by Black Magic edition - looks as good as it sounds. Complete with quality hard case.
	£599	Breedlove Atlas AC-250 SPECIAL OFFER This is the standard Breedlove - a range of superb guitars with character and tone galore. They have a fullness of sound that comes across even when amplified. They are easy to play, with super necks and great actions. Amplified, the pickup system works well, reflecting the acoustic character with plenty of control. These are now £699 but I've got an offer on - a great value performance guitar.
	£249	Vintage V-1400 This is a lovely acoustic from Vintage - all solid woods with Mahogany on the back and sides for a bright, full tone. Wonderful character with a lot of depth and subtlety, and very playable to boot. Complete with a decent gig bag.
	£149	Tanglewood TW28 CSN SPECIAL OFFER One of Tanglewood's new Evolution series guitars, this is the solid top version, giving a full tone that is still bright and sweet. This guitar cuts through other instruments nicely. It is very comfortable to play due to Tanglewood's neck shape and the physical lightness of the instrument. A nice, well balanced guitar. Complete with gig bag. These are normally £179, but I've run out of Walden 610s so I'm doing a special.
	£149	Walden 610 This is a nice solid-top acoustic from Walden - one of my favourite acoustic manufacturers. They make well constructed instruments with a tone that belies the price. This is a standard model in their range, dreadnought sized with a bit of crispness to the sound. Comfortable to play it is a bit lighter in tone and weight than some others - the best description is "clean". I've packaged this with a gig bag OUT OF STOCK AT THE MOMENT
	£99	Vintage V-400 Steel Strung Guitar This is an upgraded acoustic guitar, ideal for an adult beginner looking for an instrument with a fuller tone that will keep them interested longer. The guitar has a "solid top" which gives a much better tone. Generally solid top guitars cost a lot more than beginners need to spend, but this particular Vintage is excellent value. The difference is that the wood used for the top of the guitar (the front) is not laminated so it resonates better and therefore sounds better. Overall this is superb value - I'm even adding a gig bag to to the package OUT OF STOCK AT THE MOMENT
	£199	Recording King RD16 A new line for us, these are wonderfully rich, powerful acoustics with a well balanced tone and necks you can dig in to play. This model is Dreadnought size, with a comfortable neck, made with a solid spruce top, and laminated mahogany back and sides. It has the fullness from the top, and a nice bright ring from the body. It has plenty of power for such a reasonably priced instrument and would make a good performance guitar.
	SOLD	Recording King RO16 One of the new line of guitars, this is a 000 sized guitar with a solid spruce top and laminated mahogany back and sides. It gives a full tone, with surprising power for the smaller body. The body size makes it a very comfortable guitar to play, and the slightly wider fingerboard lends itself to picking and blues styles almost instinctively. This is a very responsive pickers guitar with great clarity for such a low price.
	£379	Recording King RD27 This is one of the all-solid Recording Kings, in the classic Dreadnought size. It has a solid spruce top, and the sought after solid rosewood back and sides. This gives it a rich tone with loads of power and projection. The balanced character stays intact when given some serious stick and the tone makes even US-style heavy chords sound clean and accurate. A lot of instrument for the money.
	£379	Recording King RO27 This is the all-solid 000 sized Recording King. It is a comfortable guitar, with a slightly wider fingerboard for the picking and blues syles. This does not reflect the power and tone the solid spruce top and solid rosewood back and sides give the instrument. It is full, balanced and powerful, with a depth that belies the size of the body. Like all the Recording Kings it is a guitar the player can dig into to get expression from the natural resonance of the materials and the tone this generates gives a subtlety that is a pleasure to play. It also has a surprising volume for such a compact guitar.
	£29	THE GUITAR YOU'VE BEEN WAITING FOR This is a fine handcrafted musician's tool, designed for the discerning beginner or the travelling artist, a pleasure to play with a smooth, singing tone with a hint of the saltiness of the ocean... Or - it is a fun little instrument designed to create interest in music and to make learning a little less serious. It would also make a silly travel guitar. Importantly it is a standard junior guitar (it's been sized to fit most kids) that plays properly and will tune up, so can be learnt on. Complete with a bag and a strap this is a fun little guitar.
	£199	Admira Malga Outfit Manager's Special This is a lovely classical guitar from Spain. I recommend these as a first 'Classical' guitar because they have a good rich tone with plenty of response and are nice to play. A good buy, I package these with a decent ABS hard case to make a proper outfit.
	£249	Walden N550 Electro-Classical Outfit This is one of Walden's solid top classical guitars with a cutaway and a Fishman pickup system. Unlike the Vintage below it is a proper classical guitar with the correct flat fingerboard, but optimised for performance or recording. Many people like the access the cutaway gives even without the pickup. I've cased this in a proper Walden classical case to make a decent outfit.
	£399	Breedlove AC200 SPECIAL OFFER A personal favourite of mine, this is a sweet little acoustic, compact and very easy to play. Unlike the other Breedloves, this is designed as a straight acoustic, no pickup, no cutaway. It has a lot of character and plenty of crisp, clean tone. I like it a lot. so there. Normally £449, it's on special, complete with its delux gig bag.
	£699	Breedlove AC250 - 12 These are a great, very professional 12-string, ideal for live work with a powerful tone that just explodes across the stage. The quality pickup is fine for recording and the wood rings nicely when unplugged. Such a good instrument. One of our more popular lines, and good value for the quality.
	£699	Breedlove AN250 - Nylon A beauty. Such a nice instrument, this is a pleasure to play for any style of music. These have quite a unique sound, more of a 'Nylon Acoustic' than 'Classical', and fit into many different styles. And they are just nice. What a sound. I like them (you may have noticed). A good, professional instrument, ideal for live work, recording, or just enjoying.
	£249	Vintage V380 12-String A cracking 12-string, easy to play with a slim neck, low action and a slimline body. Despite the thin body, these have a good acoustic tone, and come alive when plugged in due to the quality electrics. Fabulous value and a good general purpose twelve - recording, live or just fun it'll do the job. One of our favourite guitar ranges - and complete with a gig bag is super value.
	£249	Vintage V380 Nylon Strung This is the nylon strung version of the V380, giving a sweet, round sound, . The neck is a pleasure to play, being a similar shape to the steel strung versions, rather than the flat wide profile of a classical. Alovely folk/blues instrument, many owners just enjoy the change. The pickup gives a lot of recording and live options too. Very nice, complete with gig bag.
	£129	Vintage VOB12 Banjo Outfit A good starting point for 5-string banjo, these are an open back design (no resonator) which keeps weight - and volume - down. Open backed bonjos are popular for bluegrass too, and 'plunk' very nicely. Very affordable for beginners, and are packaged with a decent gig bag and thumb and finger picks.
	£199	Vintage G-Banjo Outfit A decent resonator banjo, this is a good starting point for getting into this very popular instrument. Very playable with a decent sound, it's a straightforward 5-string, and like all Vintages is made well enough to last through the learning process. Packaged with a gig bag, finger and thumb picks and a strap. Very good value.
	£249	Vintage VUB50 Banjelele Special Price This is a fun instrument - a soprano banjo uke, technically. Nice to play, with that classic 'Plinkety' (Technical Term) sound, and a surprising amount of volume. Ideal for those Formby days.... Normally £299 they're a good price, and I'll include a gig bag to carry it to all those rock gigs.....
	£249	Tanglewood TW115 A great sounding acoustic, this has a full, rich tone from the solid top and back, with great projection and character. The full tone really belies the price. The neck is well shaped to fit the hand, and the guitar is very comfortable to play. A good, solid instrument for any style.
	£199	Vintage Mandola SPECIAL OFFER This is a well made mandola with a very nice tone, rich and full with nice balance and a very playable neck. Originally they were £299, but it's been here a while - hence the price.
	Sold	Tanglewood TW28 CLN SUMMER SPECIAL This is one of the new Tanglewood Evolution series, with a bright, punchy tone and Tanglewood's very playable neck shape. A nice guitar, this is also physically very light, making it very comfortable to play for long periods. A good acoustic, which I package with a gig bag - normally for £129 but they're on the Summer Special at the moment.
