1966 was a standout year in guitar history, marked by bold design changes and a growing cultural influence of the instrument. Fender introduced features like the larger headstock on the Stratocaster, giving it a distinct visual identity that would carry into the psychedelic rock era. Meanwhile, Gibson’s SG and ES models remained popular among blues and rock musicians. This was also the height of the British Invasion and the rise of iconic players like Jimi Hendrix, who helped redefine what the electric guitar could do. Guitars from 1966 are now prized for their vintage tone, feel, and connection to a transformative period in music.

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.
In jazz music, both the Jazz Bass and the Jazz Guitar play key roles. A Jazz Guitar typically refers to a hollow or semi-hollow body electric guitar known for its warm, smooth tone and clean articulation. It’s often used for complex chords and melodic improvisation. Jazz music itself is rich in rhythm, harmony, and expression, often featuring improvisation and swing feel. Together, these instruments help shape the dynamic and soulful sound that defines jazz.
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.
A vintage guitar is a guitar that is considered to be of significant age, typically over 30 years old, and often possesses historical, cultural, or collector’s value. Vintage guitars are highly sought after by collectors, musicians, and enthusiasts for their craftsmanship, tone, playability, and historical significance.
Vintage guitars can come from various eras, each with its own unique characteristics and desirability.
Vintage guitars often exhibit signs of wear and aging, which can add to their character and authenticity. However, originality, condition, and provenance are crucial factors that determine the value of a vintage guitar. Well-maintained and all-original vintage guitars with documented history and provenance tend to command higher prices on the collector’s market.
While vintage guitars can be valuable investments, they are also cherished for their playability and the unique sonic characteristics they offer. Many musicians prefer vintage instruments for their mojo, vibe, and connection to music history.
