Customer Review of the Tanglewood Discovery Super Folk Electro Acoustic Guitar Package

Product:
Tanglewood Discovery Super Folk Electro Acoustic Guitar Package

Review:
I got this guitar in blue for Christmas and its sweet. Real easy to play with low action, no string buzz and comfortable C profile neck. It sounds fabulous. Only let down is the gig bag- the zip failed on me, coming open in the middle, but the bag isnt made by Tanglewood plus I have a better one already. Top instrument!

Customer Review of the Vintage V52 Electric Guitar at Guitarbitz

Review By:
Stefan, Sweden

Rating:
4 Very Good

Product:
Vintage V52 Electric Guitar, Butterscotch

Review:
A real V-52 bomber... Got the guitar today, opened the box at the post office, and started playing it right there at the counter. Then could not stop playing it for several hours and the tone just kept ringing more and more...the wood vibrating in harmony from the the joy of playing music... A real solid piece of quality wood that will sound better and better with time. I plan to upgrade the electronics, put in a Seymour Duncan vintage mini humbucker in the neck position and sand off some of the laquer to let the tone come out even more. Then it will be an instrument comparable to a 2000 dollar guitar for a quarter of the price...

Customer Review on the Lorenzo L449 Electro Acoustic Guitar

Review By:
Denis

Rating:
5 - Excellent

Product:
Lorenzo L449 Electro Acoustic Guitar

Review:
Bought this after a mate recommended the dreadnought version. Firstly quick dispatch and delivery was superb. As for the guitar itself, all the good reviews and awards are well deserved, plays and sounds as good as guitars costing a multiple of the price, only minor gripe is the action is a tiny bit on the high side but I can amend that easily enough myself. The simplicity of this guitar actually is quite appealing when you see it for real, and the satin finish 'feels' great especially on the neck. The built in preamp with EQ also is to be commended, very clear and sweet sounding. This guitar really is a bargain, its recent placing in Guitar & Bass magazines Top 20 pieces of gear is well deserved.

Customer Review of the Ashton SL29 Folk Acoustic Guitar

Product:
Ashton SL29 Folk Acoustic Guitar

Review:
I bought this electro acoustic guitar from Guitarbitz 3 months ago and must say that I am very impressed with the look, feel, and quality of this instrument.The slightly slimmer body is comfortable to hold but does not detract from the depth of tone which, with the supplied strings is fairly mellow when used with a Tortex 1.00 pick (blue)...my personal favourite.When plugged into my VOX VT15 amp I can get a wide variety of tones and effects so this adds to the versatility even more. The action is fine and I love the chunky heel which gives a feeling of strength. Overall, at £149 this is an excellent value instrument which is a delight to play. Well done Ashton and well done Guitarbitz,you can rest assured that I will remain a loyal customer for evermore.

A big thank you to the guys at Guitarbitz. Having travelled from the Isle of Wight with no experience of playing or purchasing guitars I was given the chance to try several models and make my own choice. Fell in love with the V100 Paradise and have not been dissapointed, the guitar is everything I wanted and more. Special thanks to Davin for my first lesson! Will definately use Guitarbitz in the future.

This little beauty is a gem, far superior to some other expensive instruments, a friend asked me to check out some guitars as he was buying one for his daughter, I had never heard of the v300 and after trying out guitars in the £300-£400 reange I picked up this little guitar and it completely amazed me, my friend bought the guitar and I bought one for my granddaughter, can't recommend it highly enough.

FREE DELIVERY ON ALL UK ORDERS

New In:Boss Effects Pedals





At long last, Boss Pedals have arrived at Guitarbitz. We have been having so much fun making the most wackiest noises, loops, and generally falling about laughing by creating a huge pedal board of all our new Boss pedals and experimenting to find out what they all do.

We are now starting to get to grips with all the differences of each pedal, but with so many pedals and so many possible sound options, the fun seems endless.

So if you are looking for a new sound, check out our range of Boss Effect Pedals. 

We also have Boss Multi Effects Pedals for those that want a more compact system of effects.

And if you are looking to do some home recording, you really need to take a look at the Boss range

Find out More about our range of Boss pedals

Fender Cashback Up to £90 off Fender





Fender are giving up to £90 off selected Fender and Squier guitars and amps in their Instant Cashback Deal. So, if you are looking for a Fender, now is the time to buy. 

Check out our offers page to see how much you can save, but hurry, this is a limited time offer.

You dont have to fill in any forms to claim your money back. We give you the money off at the checkout, so all you pay is the reduced price!

Old Guitar Strings?   When to change strings 





Did you know that strings wear out?  Over time (even without playing), strings start to corrode and rust, making the string vibrate unevenly causing the string to sound dull, flat and dead.  Even worse is the oil, dirt, dust, sweat, etc from your fingers, that builds up in the windings of the strings. This makes the strings an uneven thickness and again causes the strings to sound lifeless and dull. 

If you want to keep your guitar sounding at its best, then you need to change your strings regularly.  Take a look at our guide for when to change guitar strings, but remember, it's only a guide and you may find you need to change them more or less frequently.

So take a look at the guide for when to change your strings, and if you haven't changed your strings in a while, go on and treat yourself to a nice, clean set of shiny strings and give your guitar that bright, clean sound that only new strings can give.

Guitarbitz April Newsletter

Call Guitarbitz on 0845 2222 603
Guitarbitz Delivery InformationInternational Shipping Information



It has been some time since our last email. Christmas has come and gone. The cold weather has made way for gorgeous spring sunshine and April showers. The flowers are blooming and the trees are springing into life. And here at Guitarbitz, we have been busy working behind the scenes on some exciting projects.

But what a lush start to Spring. Lets hope the coming bank holidays are gorgeous and we can all get out.

So, What's in This Newsletter:
1) New In - Fender American Guitars
2) Free T-Shirt Offer
3) Need a Replacement Part?



1) New In - Fender American Guitars

We have waited a long time for this moment. Guitarbitz Guitar Shop is now an Authorised Premium Fender Dealer. This means we sell all of Fender's range of guitars and amps.

Whether you are looking for a Squier guitar, a Mexican Fender guitar, an American Fender guitar, a Fender amp or even just some Fender spare parts to bring your old guitar back to life, we have them all here at Guitarbitz.
If there is a guitar model you want that we dont currently have in stock, just call us and we can source it for you.
Fender Authorised Dealer
Have a look at our current range of Fender guitars, Fender amps, Fender acessories and Fender spares. We are constantly growing our range of Fender and Squier so come back and check them out regularly.

Remember, we check and tune all guitars before dispatch to make sure they get to you in perfect playing condition, and we send guitars and amps to the UK on a next working day service* - FREE!

You are welcome to visit our shop in Frome on the Somerset / Wiltshire border. We are open Monday - Saturday. To find us, take a look at google maps.
There is even a pub (The Frome Flyer) just 2 mins walk away if you fancy a meal or a drink.



2) Free T-Shirt Offer
We have a lot of t-shirts to give away.
So instead of giving them away to new customers when buying a guitar (which we think is a bit unfair to all of you that already have guitars), and to say thanks for being a customer, we are going to give them away with something every guitarist gets through - strings.
But how do you know if you need guitar strings? Guitar strings have a life span, and many people don't know how often to change their strings. Depending on what type of guitar you have, how often you play, how hard you play and what strings you already have on your guitar, will affect when you need to change your strings. So we have created this handy guide to give you an idea of when you need to change guitar strings.
To get your Free T-Shirt, simply order 5 sets of strings* or more we will send you a free t-shirt**. Pick and Mix 5 sets of strings from D´Addario, Martin, Fender, Elixir and Ernie Ball ranges*.

Hurry, we have large stocks of t-shirts, but once they have gone, they have gone, so follow this link to order your strings now.

*Guitarbitz strings range and D’Addario single strings are excluded from this offer.
** While stocks last. T-shirt designs and sizes may vary.
Free t-shirt offer



3) Need a Replacement Part?
Just like all things in life, something has to break at some point. Whether it´s a string, a tuning peg, a bridge pin or even a crackly volume knob, most breaks can be mended.
Well you might be surprised but there aren’t many things to go wrong on a guitar, and if it does, then most of the time all you need is a screwdriver and a soldering iron - IF any tools at all.
So if you´ve lost your tremolo arm, a volume or tone pot or even that little plate that covers the truss rod on the headstock, then don´t fret, Guitarbitz to the rescue!

We have a large stock of spare parts, from spare tremolo arms to replacement bridges, all the parts you can think of to replace any lost or broken bits on nearly every guitar. We also have Genuine Fender and Gibson replacement parts.

If you have lost something, or broken a bit off, then have a look at our spare parts and see if we have a replacement. If we don´t have the right one for your guitar, give us a call and we´ll try to get it for you.

Customer Reviews


peter green in a tele!? 
Reviewed by phil from grantham uk
This is a quality tele but not for those who prefer skinny necks.
Top tele tones including a clever push button on the volume controle which alters the pickup phase and nails Peter Green`s tone wonderfully.
It plays superbly and relishes the type of action which allows clean tone played gently and that classic tele rattle when thwacked in anger.
Best purchase ever.

Need New Guitar Strings? Broken String? Strings Rough?

How do you know if you need new guitar strings?
For Acoustic and Electric guitars
Here are a couple of questions to answer:

1) Have you had the same strings on for over 2 months?
2) Are your strings rusty?
3) Are your strings rough?
4) Do your strings sound dull?
5) Had a string break recently?

If you answered yes to any of the above, its probably time to replace your strings.

Guitarbitz Guitar Packages

Because of moisture on your fingers and in the atmosphere, strings corrode and rust over time and their ability to vibrate diminishes. This not only causes the sound to dull but even worse, the feel of the strings becomes rough and will hurt or even damage your fingers.

Strings can also become brittle from too much vibration, just think of how a paper clip snaps if you twist it too much, the same happens to strings.

If you play a lot, say for 2 hours a day every day, then you should look at changing your guitar strings every month.
If you play less, but still strum most days, the max you should leave them on the guitar would be 2 months.

Strings are quite cheap, about £5 for a set of 6.

There is an alternative to changing your strings this often. You can buy coated strings. These last longer due to a coating on the strings that prevent dirt build up and corrosion. Coated guitar strings tend to last 3 to 5 times longer than normal strings, so you can leave them on for longer. These still need to be changed though. At least every 6 months these should be changed as they are also prone to breaking because of the vibrations of the string as explained earlier using the paper clip analogy.
Coated strings do cost more, about £12 for a set of 6, but last longer, so can work out more cost effective.

For Bass Guitars, the strings are much more substantial and tend to last longer and hold their tone. Change bass strings at least once a year.

For Classical Guitars with nylon based strings (yes 3 of the strings look like metal, but they are a thin metal wire wound around a nylon core), because of the way they are made, they don't rust, so last longer. They do age though, so do need replacing. When they age they tend to stretch and become hard to keep in tune. If you don't want to wait till this starts happening, you should look at changing them every 3 to 4 months.

So to summarise:Change your Electric / Acoustic uncoated strings at least every 2 months.
Change your coated Electric / Acoustic strings at least every 6 months.
Change your Bass guitar strings at least once a year.
Change your Classical guitar strings at least every 4 months.

How to Restring an Acoustic Guitar

How to Restring an Acoustic Guitar


1) Removing the Old Strings

1) Firstly turn the machine heads clockwise to make the strings slack and then remove the strings from the tuning pegs. 2) At the bridge pin, push the string into the body of the guitar. Do not worry if you can not move the string as sometimes they can be tight. If so go to step 5. 3) You should be able to remove the bridge pins easily. You may need a Bridge Pin Puller to remove the bridge pins if they are tight. 4) Now carfully remove the old strings from the holes. Remember which hole the thickest string was in. Please recycle old guitar strings. 5) Use the bridge Pin puller to lever out the bridge pins if they are very stiff.

Place the pins to one side.


2) Give the Guitar a Good Clean

Without the strings is now a great time to get the polish out and give your guitar a thorough clean. If you have some lemon oil, put this on a cloth and rub into the finger board to nourish the wood. Make sure you clean both sides of the frets as this is where a lot of dirt builds up. Now give your guitar a thorough polish.


3) Putting New Strings on an Acoustic Guitar

With all the new strings, at the ball end make a 45° bend. This will help the string stay in place. Take the thickest string and push the ball through the hole that used to home the old thickest string. Take one of the bridge pins that you removed earlier. Note it has a slot cut in it, this should house the string and the slot should face toward the neck. Push the bridge pin firmly into the hole with the thickest string. Only use enough pressure to push it into place. Do not try to jam it in and do not use glue. Do the same with the remaining strings, gradually going from the thickest string to the thinnest string.

Once all the strings are in place, gently pull on each one to make sure the ball is at the bottom of the bridge pin. Start with the thickest string. Draw it over the saddle and over the top nut to the machine heads Pass the string through the tuning peg (from the inside to the outside) and pull it some-what tight. Pass the string around the back of the tuning peg and under itself. Now fold the string over top of itself.

Turn the machine head anti clockwise to tighten the string. Push the remainder of the string down. Now take a pair of wire cutters. Here we use the Planet Waves Pro Winder, which has a built in string winder, cutter and bridge pin puller. Snip off the exess string. Do the same for the remaining 5 strings, gradually working from the thickest to the thinnest.
