Beautiful New Guitars

Our collection features many different types of guitar, including acoustic guitars (for both left and right-handed players), electric guitars (for both left and right-handed players), bass guitars and classical guitars. We’ve also expanded the collection to include two child-sized guitars, one acoustic and one electric.

The Les Paul Standard Pro Electric Guitar

This gorgeous blue solid body Les Paul features a solid mahogany body with a AAA flame maple veneer top that delivers that classic Les Paul tone and sustain. It also includes:

  • 14 degree angled headstock for longer sustain
  • Rosewood fingerboard with pearloid trapezoid inlays and 22 medium-jumbo frets
  • ProBucker pickups featuring Alnico II magnets for a warm rich tone
  • Neck and bridge pickup feature coil-tapping controlled by push/pull volume control giving an infinite variety of pickup tones


Martin Guitars LX1RE Little Martin Acoustic/Electric Guitar

This beautiful Little Martin is a 3/4 sized guitar, ideal for students, children and anyone who prefers a smaller bodied instrument. It features a solid Sitka Spruce top for warmth and projection, comes equipped with Fishman Sonitone electronics, and is the first model in its series with a pick guard.

Come experience its warmth and intonation!

Yamaha 500 Series Bass Guitar

The manufacturer's name for the colour of this bass is “Translucent White”; however, here in the Makerspace we’ve dubbed it "Bone White." The smooth satin finish gives it an eerie supernatural vibe that we love.

It features:

  • A sculpted solid mahogany body with a 3D design for optimum balance between tone, comfort and perfect weight distribution
  • 5-pc maple/mahogany laminated neck for amazing stability and tone
  • H5 pickups with clean, open tone and the flexibility of the active/passive preamp design


Mini Strat V2

This flashy red 3/4 size electric guitar is ready for customers with smaller hands to come and rock out!

It features:

  • A thinner body and slimmer neck with a 20-fret fingerboard for easy playability
  • Three single-coil Stratocaster pickups and five-way switching for classic Fender tones
  • Vintage-style hardtail Stratocaster bridge
