When only the very best will do....

The top of the range B300 Stage was developed for guitarists for whom a two pickup system is a must. It is fitted with twin custom humbucker pickups each capable of single and twin coil operation and an 8-way selection system.

Ideal for work on-stage or in the studio the B300 has it all whilst offering unmatched portability, flexibility and playing comfort with its innovative lightweight and detachable steel tube "body".

With its headless design the B300 measures just 27 inches long (with the patented “body clip” frame detached), yet it retains the full 24 ¾ inch scale and a 22 fret neck.

With its stunning and very contemporary good looks, superb range of sounds, amazing weight and compact dimensions you will quickly agree that this really is an instrument you would be proud to own and to keep with you at all times.

This is a one off SPECIAL ORDER guitar finished in Wine Red - simply stunning.

This red B300 has been made to our special order - one only - available now.

The exceptionally lightweight and compact B200 Stage was specially developed with the needs of the performing guitarist uppermost, particularly those who like to work with an external effects processor and who also demand the very best quality, comfort and tone from their instrument.

Manufactured  from a single piece of hard maple with a radiused rosewood fingerboard, the headless design places the tuning machines at the “opposite end” of the guitar where specially designed precision thumbscrews permit easy and accurate tuning. A fully adjustable custom bridge with individual saddles provide for setting individual string intonation and height.

The single powerful TC2 custom humbucker system keeps things simple whilst still providing single or twin coil switching to offer an amazing range of tones - from warm and fat - to crystal clear.

The B200 is already super light weight. Now unscrew two thumbscews, remove and fold the steel tube body frame, and you have perhaps the most compact yet serious guitar available anywhere. Pop it into its custom gig bag or even in your suitcase and you will smile - everytime!

Call this instrument a travel guitar if you will, but the B200 is a guitar to be proud of and one you can and will want to keep with you. At home, in the studio or on the go, no matter how you get there. 

Sheer pleasure.

Now left handed guitarists can enjoy all the benefits of this very fine guitar with this factory strung, reversed and specially set-up version of theStage B200.

Whilst the frame is a fully mirrored left hander the body has been reversed and the controls are now found below the body but this provides a very workable solution whilst keeping costs down too.

The B200 shares the same engineering and many components with the B300, but it has its very own style and a more straight forward approach. 

The incredibly compact, full scale and headless design, places the tuning machines at the “opposite end” of the guitar. Here patented Swiss precision thumbscrews provide easy, accurate and stable tuning and the fully adjustable custom bridge and saddles enable you to set individual string intonation and height.

The hugely powerful single TC2 custom humbucking pickup keeps things simple but still provides the versatility of a coil splitter to offer an amazing range of tones, from warm and fat to crystal clear.

The B200 is already super light weight. Twist two thumbscrews, remove and fold the body frame and your guitar is now super compact too at under 27 inches long! 

Put it into its custom gig bag and smile - every time!

Don't want to carry it? Then just put it in your suitcase! Try that with a "normal" guitar.

Yes, the B200 is a guitar to be proud of and one you can and will want to keep with you. At home or on the go, however you get there. 

Sheer pleasure.

British designed and hand built in England to suit the most demanding player, the Rambler CS (Custom Shop) takes its specification just that bit further...

A compound radius, 22 fret neck varies from a 10 inch radius at the nut to 16 inches at the body and provides the best of both worlds: comfort when chord fingering but with reliable low-action string bending for lead breaks. This is then complemented by a Fender roller nut to provide extra tuning stability and wide string weight tolerance for when your playing demands it. 

Add twin Seymour Duncan humbucking pickups with coil splits giving 5 way switching and the Rambler CS ensures your choice of tone, voice and presence is as wide as possible.

The handmade body is reassuringly solid and well balanced and the guitar has great sustain and character and with its familiar and full 25½ inch scale it belies its compact 32 inch length.

This really is a no compromise, high performance guitar built to satisfy the most demanding player who also expects to find familiarity and tradition but in a very convenient package.

A travel guitar? Perhaps, but with its perfect dimensions, balance and sound it is also a guitar that could just become your very favourite!

Amazing!

Just half the weight of a traditional P-Bass and less than 41 inches long yet with a full 34 inch scale; yes the F-LIGHT bass punches way way above its weight.

Armed with a Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounder the F-LIGHT delivers its punch in a thoroughly modern way with superb tone and all the sustain you will ever need.

Perfectly balanced and proportioned, the smaller contoured body is also supremely comfortable and places the neck and fret board much closer to the players’ body for a much more natural and more relaxed experience. 

This is a key design feature and intended to make the F-Light far more comfortable for any player and especially those with shorter arms, men or women or anyone fed up with a sore back or shoulder!

The F-Light challenges the norm but it also respects tradition and delivers a totally modern solution adapted to the needs of today.

With this bass travelling is not daunting but a pleasure all over again. On a bus, on a train on a plane or simply on foot! 

And when you arrive, you will have the pleasure of playing a superb hand built British bass that can more than hold its own, in any company.

What pleasure. 

Amazing!

Just arrived with us in the UK for the very first time is the all new and fantastic US made SoloEtte Songbird Hybrid, a nylon strung guitar with a narrower and more contemporary neck which also features a 16 inch radius to both the fingerboard and the guitar body.

A guitar with a unique look and stunning styling, the Songbird will also offer the steel acoustic style player a familiar format but with all the warmth and mellowness desired in a nylon strung instrument. 

These guitars are hand made from a single piece of American Hard Rock Maple and benefit from the unique Wright Technologies condenser mic pickup system with an integrated headphone amplifier.  

And of course the Songbird also comes in the go anywhere, play anywhere and top quality package so well proven by the SoloEtte Classical model.

Sorry we have sold out of this great guitar but our next order is being built now and will be arriving in early April. Please telephone if you wish to reserve one in advance.

Arriving in March (we hope)  ......

A stunning new and truly innovative instrument for bass guitarists.

TheBONE TheBASS is coming and we believe that it will be the lightest and most compact full scale bass guitars available anywhere.

Call it a travel bass if you want. Call it a lightweight bass or perhaps you will call it a compact bass, but whatever you call it, you will call it stunning!

This bass features all the same design concepts that have made TheBONE guitars so good ... a headless design featuring the patented Triff tuning system, a perfectly formed detachable and folding steel tube body frame but now with a hard maple body and bolt on neck.

The S1 model also has a built in headphone amplifier to complement its custom humbucker.

Without doubt this clever bass design makes TheBASS one of the best playing and most comfortable instruments available. In terms of lightness and compactness it is in a class of its own - made in Switzerland, from a maker you can trust.

The S1 is finished in black matte and comes complete with its compact custom Triff carry bag.

Almost here ....  rather later than originally planned but final assembly and set-up is in progress now and as soon as the gig-bags arrive they will begin to be shipped to us. Expected in about 2 weeks (Mid-March).

The hand built SoloEtte Classical guitar is designed to provide the details and authenticity required by the practicing classical guitarist so you will find that there are exactly 19 frets, no side dot markers, a scale length of 25 ½ inches (647.7mm), a nut width of 52mm (2.05 inches) and the string spacing at the saddle is 57mm (2 ¼ inches) and the action comes set to the proper classical string height and is adjustable.

There is nothing small or hybrid about the neck. It is the full standard classical guitar neck and with the frame attached, the SoloEtte body simulates the full size Torres classic guitar shape in your lap and balances beautifully.

The medium size frame piece, which supports your right arm, is the edge outline of your guitar and you can rest the weight of your arm on it so your fingertips will hover over the strings right where you would expect. The smaller frame piece in the upper left bout tilts back and affects the depth of the guitar. This is a great feature that pushes the guitar forward a bit so it will lie in the proper plane and not lay back on your chest or point at the ceiling.

You do not need to use a guitar strap and the head does not swing down toward the floor every time you let go of the neck, like some other travel guitars and because the tuners are at the “other end”, this guitar is 5 inches shorter than “normal”. This reorientation of the tuners also helps to create balance and offers superior tuning access.

The unique pickup system uses stereo microphones which react to the movement of air caused by the string vibration inside the special hollow saddle which produces a rounder and fuller sound than more typical piezo style pickups. An integrated stereo pre-amp will drive headphones and a standard guitar amplifier or p.a. system, in either mono or stereo.

Finally, the lightweight, compact and practical SoloEtte is complemented by a custom made soft carry case to ensure great but practical protection when travelling.

Here we see the warmth and colour offered by the Indian Padauk tone wood which offers a more traditional look with its dark fingerboard and body. Again, the one piece design of the instrument neck and body allows you to fully appreciate the character and grain of this fabulous wood which will be finished superbly.

Shown here is the hard rock maple version which provides a truly contemporary look. This wood has a sleek and glassy feel to both neck and fingerboard and the one piece design allows the wood grain to be fully appreciated and it will be finished superbly.

Coming soon ...

Whilst theCRUISER shares the same design principles and even some of the hardware seen on the existing B200 & B300 "Stage" models, theCruiser has in mind the need to satisfy the electric guitarist who seeks a more simple and perhaps more affordable instrument but one which still retains all the intelligent Swiss design features that make TheBONE guitars so easy to travel with.

This is a role in which theCruiser excels.

With its very modern headless design, removable and folding patented steel tubular frame and patented tuning system, this full scale guitar packs down to less than 27 inches in length and comes complete with an amazingly compact gig-bag.

TheCruiser has a bolt on neck/body construction and is made from hard rock maple with a Rosewood fretboard, 22 playable frets, a full 24.75 inch scale and a custom humbucker. For simplicity the Cruiser has a fixed bridge and saddle.

TheCruiser S2 is the best of all worlds. All the features of the S and S1 models but now with a third knob that switches in 5 levels of superb distortion too – enough to inspire any rock or metal fiend when needs must but it cleans up rather well too!!

Can you travel without one?

Complete with ultra compact custom carry bag.

Sorry, the first examples of the S2 to arrive are now sold but we have more coming in March. Please let us know if you would like to reserve one whilst early production is limited and demand is so high.

Arriving in March (we expect)  ......
