Manager Special: Gretsch G5700 Lap Steel

Gretsch G5700 Lap Steel [stats]

We now have it up for £199.99

This one just dropped for any lap steel players out there.

Here is what Gretsch say about it:

A smooth, yet sonic blast from the past. The Lap Steel reproduces the unmistakable rich tones of an electric Hawaiian guitar. Measuring 33-1/2" x 7-1/2" x 1-3/4", this tobacco sunburst beauty features a chrome single coil pickup and volume and tone controls.

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 produce some of the most beautiful acoustics around, if you have never picked one up come in and see if they live up to the hype. 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.

A few videos about Martin:
