A burst guitar finish is one of the most iconic and visually striking styles in the guitar world. Characterised by a gradient that fades from a rich colour at the edges to a lighter centre—like sunburst, cherry burst, or tobacco burst—it highlights the natural beauty of the wood underneath. Originally made famous by classic Gibson models in the 1950s, burst finishes evoke a sense of vintage charm and rock ‘n’ roll heritage. Each burst is slightly different, giving the guitar a unique personality that ages beautifully over time.
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.
We have new and used PRS musical equipment available on our website for fast direct delivery from sellers across the UK & Europe.
PRS (Paul Reed Smith) is renowned for its high-end electric guitars and amplifiers, but the company also produces a range of premium guitar effects pedals. PRS pedals are known for their meticulous craftsmanship, robust build quality, and superior tonal characteristics, reflecting the same attention to detail and innovation that the brand brings to its guitars. The company’s effects lineup includes overdrive, distortion, and modulation pedals, designed to enhance and complement the natural sound of PRS guitars.
Among the most popular PRS pedals are the Horsemeat Transparent Overdrive, Wind Through the Trees Dual Analog Flanger, and Mary Cries Optical Compressor. The Horsemeat Transparent Overdrive is praised for its clear, articulate overdrive that preserves the guitar’s natural tone while adding a touch of warmth and grit. The Wind Through the Trees Dual Analog Flanger stands out for its rich, lush flanging effects with two independent flangers that create complex, swirling sounds. The Mary Cries Optical Compressor is favoured for its smooth, transparent compression that enhances sustain and dynamics without colouring the tone. These pedals have gained acclaim for their high-quality sound, innovative features, and the reliable performance that PRS is known for.
