Jackson JS30 Dinky

Another from Jackson's stripped down range, this is the classic Dinky (basically a modernised, more comfortable Strat style) shape, in a basic fixed bridge format. This one has a cracking neck, slick and fast, with a pair of Jackson humbuckers. The tone is full and biting, with enough power to get the amp working. With heavier strings it would be a great down-tuned beast. Fantastic value at only :

£249

Packaged with a decent gig bag

£699

BC Rich Kerry King Signature Wartribe

A professional rocker with EMG 81 and 85 pickups - as well as the active boost circuit - this is a loud guitar, capable of driving amps hard. A very good neck and a truly superb Kahler trem means this handles like a dream, for the most demanding music. This is a pro guitar, usually costing £949, so is a serious deal.

 

£199

BC Rich Eagle One

A very good value instrument - it plays well with full access to the two octave neck. A pair of powerful, 'crunchy' (technical term) pickups will rock well, but also back down for some bluesier stuff. The shape - it seems quite normal for BC Rich - balances well for a very comfortable guitar. Complete with gig bag.

 

£249

BC Rich Avenge SOB

Brilliant value - as a mate of mine said : "If Batman were in a metal band, that would be his guitar". Couldn't describe it better myself. A decent neck and some serious power from the single humbucker.

 

£429

BC Rich Kerry King V2

Active pickups. Kahler trem. Two octave neck. Tribal Flame graphics. Fast and furious neck profile. Big headstock. Pointy body. This could not be any more 'metal' if it tried. Sounds fantastic and plays superbly. Brilliant guitar at an amazing price.

 

£479

BC Rich Gunslinger Retro

It's 1985 all over again. A stunning neck, high output pickup and an excellent Floyd makes a proper rocker. Super value (RRP £539) this sounds and plays like a guitar twice the price. Oh, and it's green. Very green. Complete with gig bag. And have I mentioned the guitar is green. Very green.

 

£399

BC Rich Dark Arts Warlock

Love the name - Dark Arts sums this up. An out and out rocker, with power and cut, this will go from metal to classic rock easily. A decent Floyd keeps it in tune and the neck is fast but meaty for control. These are normally £519, but I've got a great deal - and complete with gig bag.

 

£249

Jackson JS30 Rhoads

Lightweight and comfortable, this is a great value instrument that can be played by anyone. As long as you're standing up. Superb value, complete with a gig bag - these are normally £299.

 

£399

Schecter V1

A classic V - good mid range focus for solos and a load of power for, well, power chords, provided by a pair of EMG HZ humbuckers. Decently balanced, with a good solid neck you can really dig in to. And it has bat inlays on the fretboard. Cool or what. Special price, complete with a gig bag.

 

£599

Fender Roadhouse Strat

One of Fender's 'Hotrodded' series this is a bit of a corker. An amazing neck - coupled with genuine Texas Special pickups make a stunning guitar, good for any eventuality. This one just sits and plays - the combination of a great neck, very responsive body wood and superb pickups make what is technically known as a 'Proper Guitar'. Complete with Fender gig bag. Brilliant.

 

£429

Standard Strat Sunburst

The Fender Standard series gives a high quality instrument with loads of character - these guitars sound like a Strat not a copy. The latest upgrades include a better neck shape with medium jumbo frets that really improves playing comfort - and a parchment pickguard that looks good!

Standard Strat Black

The Fender Standard series gives a high quality instrument with loads of character - these guitars sound like a Strat not a copy. The latest upgrades include a better neck shape with medium jumbo frets that really improves playing comfort - and a parchment pickguard that looks good! This one's in black, and the parchment pickguard really sets it off. Tonally it's a bit darker and bluesier with a slightly narrower feel to the neck. Complete with Fender gig bag.

 

£499

Standard Strat HSS

The Fender Standard series gives a high quality instrument with loads of character - these guitars sound like a Strat not a copy.

£239

Vintage V-100 Wine Red

Fitted with expressive mini humbuckers, this is a well made take on a classic design.The well balanced, glued in neck feels comfortable yet solid, and is compact enough to play any style. The smooth, singing tone of the neck is complemented by the bite from the bridge. Great value and fun to play for all standards. Complete with gig bag.

 

£199

Vintage V-100 Cherry Sunburst

A very good looking guitar this is one of the better instruments of this style around. This one has got a great feeling neck, very easy to play, and the humbuckers give the required thick tone - helped in no small part by some good body wood and the set neck. Great value for money these are Proper Guitars (Technical Term). Complete with bag.

 

SOLD

Vintage VS6

Another very well made guitar from the Vintage stable, this model gives the classic biting tone due to its set neck construction and pair of Wilkinson humbucker pickups. Well balanced and lightweight, with a slim neck this is a pleasure to play, even for beginners, and has the build quality to stand up to most abuse. Super value, complete with a gig bag.

 

£179

Vintage VRS-100

A modern classic these are another beautifully made guitar from Vintage. A proper glued in neck joint and humbuckers give the power, and the comfortable neck shape allows playing in any style. A good alternative for players mixing vintage and modern styles - and a bargain, complete with gig bag.

 

SOLD

Vintage VSA-535 12 String

Based on one of the rarer guitars around, this Vintage fills the niche that's been unfillable for some time. A classic, chiming tone fills the holes other guitars leave empty. The slim neck is easy to play - despite the twelve strings - and the high quality hardware makes it stay in tune (a major consideration for 12-string players). Unusual, but done very, very well - and complete with hard case too! Almost unbelievable value.

 

£399

Hutchins Page II Double Neck

Double necks are proper guitars. This has a playable size and feel - much smaller than is progenitor - and is reasonably light. A decent sound from both necks - the six string has loads of power, and the twelve is very playable. A good instrument and complete with case is great value.

 

£799
Fret King Eclat Cherryburst

Oh this one's nice. Very, very nice. Smooth, comfortable, rich - and that's just the finish. A full range of tones - from thick crunch to dark blues, to out and out rock lead - it does them all. The coil tap roll off works perfectly to make it as versatile as possible. Sitting nicely to the body it's also very comfortable to play and the neck is just right. Very pretty too. RRP £1099

PS Try this through a Blackstar amp - a match made in Guitar Heaven.

 

£499

Fret King Super S

One of the most popular Fret Kings, these give you a range of classic tones in one instrument, with such depth of character. This one has a lovely neck and sits very comfortably. Nice finish too. RRP £629

£499

Fret King Esprit 5

I had to have one. A balanced, comfortable guitar, with loads and loads of power. This one Rocks from vintage to modern, but can still back down to tell the Blues when you want it to.    RRP £549

£599
Fret King Super 60 Ice White

This is the classic Fret King design - a player's guitar - and the P90 in the bridge works so well, I'm surprised we don't see it more often. Hot, versatile, and an excellent player this is a great option for this style. Great, classic finish too. RRP £729

£599
Fret King Super 60 Sunburst

This is the standard Super 60 - or as standard as these instruments get. A beautiful take on the classic design, with character and tone aplenty - and a neck to die for, it just sits in the hand and plays. Wonderful. And brilliant value. RRP £769

£239

Squier Standard Strat

The Squier Standard Series are what I call the 'Grown-Up' Squiers - a different guitar to the well known kid's starters. These are designed for adults who fancy starting on a decent instrument with tone and character without breaking the bank. I know many of these guitars that gig regularly and do a good job. This one is a maple board Strat and has a paricularly good neck - it feels like a guitar twice the price. Complete with gig bag.

 

£239

SOLD

Squier Delux Strat Daphne Blue

An excellent guitar, with a beautiful neck - it plays like an instrument four times its price. A lovely looker it has Duncan Designed pickups to give it the tone to match. Finished off with quality hardware this is a very, very good buy. Usually £269 I've got it at a great price - and that includes a gig bag.

 

£239

Squier Classic Vibe Duo-Sonic 50's

This is a little beauty from the new Classic Vibe range from Squier - reproducing the guitars you could only previously get with an enormous bank balance. Wonderfully made and great to play this spikes its way along quite nicely with a unique feel and sound. Good for finding new sounds, but also as a lightweight instrument for smaller framed people - or if you're just feeling lazy. Normally £269, I'm also supplying a gig bag in the price. Great value.

 

£249

Indie Super T New Low Price

A great introduction to the Indie range, this is a more classic design - with a twist - and makes a good, versatile instrument for any style. There is plenty of power in the bridge pickup, and the neck pickup has a classic character. The neck is nice and full, more modern than expected, allowing a greater range of playing styles. This is again a well made instrument, and at a good price at the moment. Complete with gig bag.

Welcome to the electric guitar department. We have a wide variety of instruments, with some quite different ones - I get bored easily. Everything here has been selected for its value and playability. If you need one set up differently, that can be arranged for a reasonable (compared to some) price. We can change strings, actions, wiring etc on site, and can bore for England on the various merits of strings, picks, pickups etc. We carry a very wide range of strings and accessories, and can normally supply any requirement, however unreasonable. We have a good range of amps and effects pedals too, and can bore (again) on their various merits. If you want to try a pedal properly, bring your own amp and guitar.
We also stock cases, bags, straps, straplocks, slides, capos, tuners, machineheads, jack plates, jack sockets, jack leads, jacks, saddles, bridges, nuts, ferrules, string guides, peg winders, lemon oil, polish, cleaner, pick holders, string cutters, Fast Fret, Thumb Picks, humidifiers, Grip Masters........

Hamer Echotone

This is a semi-solid set neck guitar from Hamer, a famous US brand producing a budget range in China (where else?). These guitars are well made, far beyond their price, and feel and sound the way they should. I rate the range highly. This one has a full, classic tone and plays really nicely. The quality of the guitar lends itself to any level and it is packaged with a gig bag at only:
