Nottingham Guitar Shop News

Those of you that visited the store in recent times will be aware that we already have a great display of Takamine Acoustic Guitars and Takamine Electro Acoustic Guitars, and these have been best sellers for the last few years, with good reason! With prices starting from under £200 for the best selling GD11M-NS, and a wide range of body shapes and styles, theres a Takamine G Series guitar for everyone, regardless of musical style.

A more recent addition is our huge selection of Sigma Guitars. Sigma acoustic guitars came onto the scene back in 1970, initially as a more affordable line of Martin guitars, but in recent years they have flourished in their own right and have rapidly become well known amongst guitarists worldwide for their great build quality, great tone, and affordability!

Sigma SE models, such as the dreadnought Sigma DME Electro Acoustic Guitar start at as little as £249, and offer solid sitka spruce tops for enhanced tone. A smaller bodied model, the Sigma 000ME is also available at the same price. These amazing guitars play like instruments costing far more, and we have really taken a shine to this range. Other notable Sigma Electro Acoustic Guitars include the modern styled Sigma GWCE-3, and the classic retro Sigma GJA-SG200-AN.

For the acoustic purists, the very popular Sigma DT-45 and Sigma DT-1 acoustics offer timeless dreadnought styling, solid tops, and fantastic acoustic tone, whilst the all solid Sigma SDM-18E Electro Acoustic Guitar with its solid sitka spruce top and solid mahogany back and sides, really shows off the awesome build quality of these fine guitars.

Finally, we have massively expanded our range with a huge array of Ortega Classical Guitars, a great selection of nylon strung acoustic and electro acoustic models. With a choice of neck widths, these great guitars cater not only to dedicated classical players, but also electric or steel strung players looking to add some new sounds to their set up. With the majority of models being handmade in Spain in the traditional manner, these instruments will also appeal to the classical purists.

Once again, the range is huge, starting with student models such as the Ortega RSTC5M, ideal for anyone looking to learn to play Spanish guitar, and then we expand into the Family and Family Pro series instruments and beyond. For what its worth, our favourites are the Ortega RSM-Reissue, and the Ortega RCE159MN Electro Acoustic with its fantastic onboard electronics and pickup system.

In addition, we now also stock the Ortega guitar amplifier system, tailor made for acoustic and classical guitars, as well as a new and very popular range of eco friendly Vegan Guitar Straps.

All of these great products are on our website and we also look forward to being able to welcome you into our guitar showroom over at Nottingham Drum and Guitar Centre, Cranbrook Street, Nottingham NG1 1ER
