NEW In Stock: Sterling by Music Man AX40

We have started getting our first of the new Sterling by Music Man Guitars.

The first one through the door is a AX40, it is brilliant for the money.

Here is a little preview:

Here is what Music Man have to say:

"Axis of Tone! This version of the AX guitar uses a Sterling Double Locking Tremelo bridge and locking nut. The bridge is mounted on top of the body for a stable platform to rest your picking hand without tuning warbles. The easy to use tremolo has fine tuners, and an adjustable arm for loose or tight arm tension. The locking nut matches the fingerboard radius and offers excellent tuning stability. 2 humbuckers are mounted directly to the body without mounting rings for better depth of tone. The 3 way switch offers, bridge, bridge and neck combined and neck pickup positions. The center position is very versatile and offers a single coil vibe with more output and lo noise. "

Still wondering what twitter is?

Pre Owned: Standard Telecaster - £169.99 [sold]

A great looking Tele was just dropped off for a part exchange!

Squire "fat" Telecaster Standard - Metallic Red - £169.99 (update: sold)

It is in great condition, the owner took up the drums just after buying this from us about 2 years ago so it has seen minimal use.

There is a little twist, notice the humbucker pickup at the neck?

This is the "Fat" Standard Telecaster so it has a neck profile modeled on a late 60's Tele. A hot single-coil pickup in the bridge position provides all the bite you want for strong leads. In the neck position, the Fat Telecaster's chrome-covered humbucker provides thick, meaty tone instead of the normal single coil.

Manager Specials: Stratocaster & Seagull

We have been cleaning out the stock room and found some slightly marked guitars. Not so good for us but makes some great deals for you!

Squire Bullet Stratocaster - Fiesta Red - Now £79.99 (update - SOLD)

Mark on top edge (left in picture) of body.

Special offer: Seagul MJ M6 mini jumbo acoustic with slight mark on body. Was £449 now £349.

Martin Guitars

We have started getting our first shipments from Martin & Co. Needless to say we are pretty excited about their appearance in the shop.

Martin & Co is the first American guitar company and longest surviving, founded in 1833 when Christian Frederick Martin moved to New York to escape the European guild system.
