Project 'Pheonix' - 1960s Kay ET200 Project

This is a guitar I've had a great deal of pleasure piecing back together. Although initially a little apprehensive, (you'd understand if had seen the first photo of it that I did!) but I was 100% intrigued!

New to James' Home of Tone - WALSH GUITARS!

New to James' Home of Tone - WALSH GUITARS!

When I look for items to offer in my store, one of the main priorities for me is whether I feel that the item, or the name, reflects my passion. I'm nearing my 29th year on this here earth, and 23 years of that time I've been absolutely encapsulated by the guitar. So I feel I've gotten to know what that passion is driven by. There are numerous factors in that, of which are queued up right behind that initial impression. That gut feeling of you will. From innovation, to pure craftsmanship. From the sound, to the detail.
This right here ticked everything, so it's with my absolute pleasure that I'd like to announce another fine addition to the Home of Tone line-up.

From Washington State, USA, comes Walsh Guitars!

All hand crafted, with some of the most wonderfully unique guitar designs at the moment. Walsh Guitars capture exactly what I love about luthier work. Innovation, creativity and the quest for the best tone possible.

We will have a Walsh Doxa model arriving soon, and it's spec is out of this world! Check out the listing for a full run down!

Unplated perfection - McNelly Cornucopia Humbuckers

Unplated perfection - McNelly Cornucopia Humbuckers

We have some really cool pickups pass through our hands, this set is certainly one of those.
I spotted McNelly making some 'Unplated' finishes for custom orders, so upon placing a stock order I put in the request to have some for here in the UK! So this set is technically a custom order, but is in stock & ready to ship.

Get in touch as these won't stick around for long!
