Electric Guitars

The first electric guitars were acoustic instruments with a magnetic pick-up. This was placed at the end of the fretboard, and then plugged into an amplifier. Very quickly the true acoustic guitar became redundant. It was replaced by a semi acoustic body that had very little acoustic properties, yet had a familiar look and feel.

Leo Fender was the first to completely do away with this semi acoustic design and create an all solid body electric guitar.

Our electric guitar range may not be wide, but it is worth considering. We stock Fujigen and Guild as our main electric range but other consigned brands come and go, so its always worth checking with us for more info.
