Electric guitars use magnetic pickups to convert string vibrations into an electrical signal, which is then amplified. Unlike acoustic guitars, they rely on amplification for volume and tone shaping, making them highly versatile in genres like rock, blues, jazz, and metal. Electric guitars come in many body styles—solid, semi-hollow, and hollow—and feature different pickup configurations, neck types, and hardware. From smooth clean tones to aggressive distortion, they offer a wide sonic range, making them the backbone of modern guitar music.
Here at GPAS we have everything guitar from music to guitars amps pedals and stuff. The guitar is a versatile stringed instrument played across countless genres, from rock and blues to classical and jazz.
Typically featuring six strings, it produces sound by vibrating strings stretched over a wooden body or solid frame, amplified acoustically or electronically.
We have Guitars in all types, including acoustic, electric, bass guitars and electro-acoustic, each offering different tonal characteristics and playing styles. For many, the guitar is both a tool of expression and a lifelong obsession—lending itself equally to raw power, subtle nuance, and everything in between.
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.

Gretsch is an iconic American musical instrument company renowned for its production of high-quality guitars, particularly in the realm of hollow-body and semi-hollow electric guitars. Founded in 1883 by Friedrich Gretsch in Brooklyn, New York, the company initially focused on manufacturing drums and banjos before expanding into guitars. However, it was under the leadership of Fred Gretsch Jr. in the 1950s that Gretsch guitars gained widespread recognition and popularity, particularly with the introduction of the iconic “Country Gentleman” and “White Falcon” models, which became synonymous with the rockabilly and rock ‘n’ roll movements of the era.
Gretsch guitars are celebrated for their distinctive aesthetic and rich, resonant tones, making them a favorite among musicians across various genres, including rock, jazz, country, and blues. The company’s commitment to craftsmanship and attention to detail is evident in each instrument, with features such as Bigsby vibrato tailpieces, Filter’Tron pickups, and signature “F-holes” adorning many of their guitars. Today, Gretsch continues to produce a wide range of electric and acoustic guitars, staying true to its heritage while also embracing innovation to meet the evolving needs of musicians worldwide.
