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 :

Adam Black Libra

Made in Essex! I kid you not. A fantastic guitar, a modern take on the traditional single cut design, with a very slim and very,very fast neck. This guitar works for all styles of music, with plenty of tone from the solid ash body to sing out for blues, rock - and it will even do a bit of jazz, if you ask it nicely. The excellent pickups back down for more subtle playing, letting the body's resonance shine through. A truly musical guitar. Yes, I do like it. The build quality is superb, all the hardware excellent, and it comes with a very good gig bag. For this price, a definite bargain.

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 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.

 

£359

Vintage VSA-590

A new model from Vintage this has a classic tone with plenty of warmth, a just a bit of bite. Very easy to play it is also light in weight, making it a very comfortable guitar for those long practise sessions. Up to their normal high build quality this comes complete with a hard case making it extremely good value.

 

£379

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.

 

SOLD

Fender USA Standard Telecaster

Long considered the only real guitar by many players, this is the latest version of the classic Tele, with all the updates:
hand-rolled fingerboard edges, alnico V pickups and staggered tuning machines for playability, tone and stability - a new bridge with improved bent-steel saddles mounted to a stamped-brass bridge plate for increased resonance and sustain -  a new neck treatment—tinted for a richer presentation, with the rosewood fingerboard buffed to a high gloss. The back of the neck still has that silky, comfortable satin finish, and the body has a thinner finish undercoat that lets it breathe and improves resonance. The package also includes a new, high quality Fender-exclusive SKB molded case. This particular one has a very good neck and a slightly thicker, fatter tone than average, for a dark, biting Tele. I also managed to get a good deal on this one - hence the price.

 

£449

Fender Classic '50's Strat Surf Green

This is a superb Strat from the Mexican factory, based on the best of the '50's guitars. This means that is has a different neck shape - slightly more rounded, with a 'v' shape to the back - and a lighter more open tone. This particular guitar is beautifully resonant, which coupled with the vintage output gives a sweet, rich, responsive tone. This is a nice guitar, and the Surf Green finish is very smart. Complete with a Fender gig bag.

 

SOLD

Fender Standard Strat Arctic White

This is a good example of what could be called the industry standard electric guitar. Well balanced, comfortable to play, sonically versatile, responsive - this one does what it should. These are nicely made normally, but this one has a good response from the wood, which gives it its soul. Hmmm...anyway, a nice instrument ant a good price, complete with gig bag - ideal for a first proper guitar, a backup for touring, or the classic tones to go with your more modern metaller.

 

SOLD

Fender '50's Esquire

Something of a favourite this one. The Esquire is a classic design - basically a single pickup Tele with a hotter bridge pickup and clever wiring to give three sounds anyway. This one has a very nice neck that just 'sits' when its in the hand. A good little rocker, it brings a smile to the face of most people who try it. Well made with buckets of character and very good value. Complete with gig bag.

 

£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

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 rosewood board Strat with a smooth, comfortable feel and a darker tone. Very nice, and complete with a gig bag.

 

£239

Squier Standard Tele

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 is a rosewood board Tele with loads of bite and character and a really smooth feel. Looks good too. Complete with a gig bag.

 

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.

 

SOLD

Schecter C1

This is the first of the new Schecter range to come into stock - and what a range it promises to be. These are very well made guitars, with quick, comfortable necks which can be given those slick, fast actions you normally only get on top end instruments. This one is fitted with an active circuit for its humbuckers (more power, more power) so can rock with the best. Active circuits also improve definition, so they work for accurate picking styles on the clean channel as well, making the guitar sonically versatile. Looks good too, with the black trim around the excellent gloss white finish. Very impressive - and I'm offering a decent hard case with this model as an introductory offer.

 

SOLD

Hamer Sunburst Special EMG HZ

This is one of the popular Hamer Sunburst series - a comfortable, well balanced guitar, very well made. This one is black, fitted with EMG HZ pickups at the factory for a bright, powerful cutting sound, ideal for heavy rock with drive, but backing down to a clear, bell-like clean tone. Very nice. This is the last of these specials, and it's at a great price. Complete with gig bag.

 

£169

         Gretsch Electromatic Junior Jet            SPECIAL PRICE - NEW OFFER

The junior in the range, this is still a decent guitar, very comfortable with a classic vintage tone belying the price. A very comfortable guitar to play and superb value. Normally £199

SOLD

                   Indie Fleur-De-Lys                  Special Offer

A posh name for a very posh guitar. This Indie is in their 'Standard' design - but nothing about it is standard. Beautifully made with a stunning maple cap and sunburst finish, topped off with smart MOP binding, body and neck. This plays as good as it looks, with full access up the fast neck - and although it's heavy, the balance makes it comfortable. Tonally it has a brighter tone than expected, with loads of life in the bridge for rock - and it works well for the indie sounds (no surprise) - but when rolled off in the neck position it is just so creamy, even the cat's happy. Hmm... This was £599, but there's an offer on. Complete with gig bag.

 

£399

 Indie 'The Shape' Special Offer

This one you have to try - the picture doesn't do it justice. The Ocean finish is a lovely matt turquoisy-blue which just suits the shape perfectly. The neck sits in the hand like it belongs there, and the balance is almost perfect. The tone is just what you want, with plenty of versatility - and the guitar backs down on the volume well for the subtle stuff. A lovely instrument, I've got a nice offer on this at the moment - it was £599.

 

£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.

 

SOLD

Indie 'The Shape'

Indie's own design, rendered in natural finish - light, comfortable plays like a dream, sounds like your favourite Strat on steroids, hangs perfectly round the neck - I love this guitar. Built to a high standard it's a winner. Sounds great, feels better. Perfect. I'm just trying to find an excuse to buy one, and I think I've run out of hyperbole.

Tel: 01432 278227 Email: sales@nilammusic.co.uk


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 - I'd recommend the late night Wednesday (I'm open 'till 7) as no-one ever comes in then.
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:

£299

 
 
 


 


Gretsch Electromatic Pro Jet


One of Gretsch's affordable range, this is a powerful guitar, loaded with the US DeArmond pickups for 'Grunt' ( Technical Term). The body has tone chambers, giving a more colourful tone, with the famous Bigsby Horseshoe trem system for a more characterful wobble (another Technical Term). The neck sits nicely in the hand, being a more vintage shape, but still enables accurate bending. Very nice. Overall this is a good instrument with a lot of character for many different styles of music. Normally a very reasonable £399, the introductory offer on this guitar is only:
