The bass guitar is the backbone of many musical styles, delivering the low-end power that holds everything together. Designed to play deep, resonant notes, it typically has four strings—though five- and six-string models are also popular—and comes in both fretted and fretless versions. Bass guitars can be electric or acoustic, with solid or hollow bodies, and are used across genres from rock and funk to jazz and reggae. In this category, you’ll find a wide selection of bass guitars to suit all levels, from beginner to pro, each built to provide great tone, feel, and reliability.
An electro-acoustic guitar is an acoustic guitar equipped with built-in electronics—usually a pickup and preamp—that allow it to be easily amplified without losing its natural, warm acoustic tone. This makes it perfect for live performances, recording, or playing with a band, where projecting sound clearly is essential. Electro-acoustics offer the best of both worlds: the rich, resonant sound of an acoustic with the convenience and versatility of electric amplification. Many models also include onboard tone controls and tuners, giving players more control over their sound on stage or in the studio.
A left-handed guitar is specially built for players who strum with their left hand and fret with their right. Unlike simply flipping a right-handed guitar, a true left-handed model has reversed components like the nut, bridge, and controls, ensuring proper intonation and playability. They’re often harder to find, with fewer models and colour options available, making the hunt part of the journey for many lefty players. Despite the challenge, playing a guitar that’s built specifically for your dominant hand can make all the difference in comfort, technique, and expression.
