We are using our "Specials" page to re-introduce our Gemini model, which we think is rather "special" and to introduce our latest Ghostrider guitar. See below for more details.

GEMINI - Welcome back my son!
For many years now we have fielded requests to re-introduce our, once range topping Gemini Guitar. Well, we have, but in a slightly different build, more 21st century we believe.
It still features an exquisitely carved top AND back, with a lovely veneer of choice, to each surface.
Scrapped wooden purfling to front, rear and headstock, and a unique, and useful, new installation of the controls. Set into this a beautiful neck of Birds Eye Maple, one piece of course, is typically surmounted with a finely shaped and detailed headstock, veneered to match the body front.
With GSG pickups and bridge, or optional GSG vibrato, finished in colour of choice we truly feel, ‘it is maybe the world’s nicest solid body’.
And the price? ‘Fraid if you need to ask, you can’t afford one! Oh if you insist - from £1,500.
It could be a collectors dream in a few years – think about it!

GHOSTRIDER
We are also proud to introduce the new Ghostrider guitar. Created largely as a result of feed back from players, (no, not that kind of feedback!).
Essentially designed around a body slightly smaller than iconic semi solid guitars, it is a much better ’fit’ onto most players. The classic semi solid tone is all there, with any of the pickup combinations, humbuckers and/or P.90’s are the overwhelming two for most players, and, it seems this type of guitar is where the buzz is at this time. Choose 1 or 2 ’f’ holes, whatever takes your fancy. Certainly, it offers sounds the market leaders of last century just do not have!
Front installation of controls offer a rear unbroken by access panels, difficult to achieve on a semi solid arch top (and back) and all the well appropriate GSG options may be included. Price from £950
It may indeed be a ’Ghostrider’, but, especially if the ’Volumax’ booster is incorporated, you will hear the galloping from afar!
