Blue Moon has a great range of beginner guitars from China available in three sizes. All of them are excellent value for money, sturdily built and ideal to start on.

Ashbury is our leading brand of high quality acoustic guitars and was designed with the folk guitarist firmly in mind. Gitane make some of the very best gypsy jazz guitars on the market and we also stock Bristol, Yamaha, Takamine and more. This category includes 12 string models, flat tops, arch tops, jazz guitars, acoustics and electro acoustics.

Resonator guitars all have a metal resonator cone or cones supporting the bridge which give the distinctive sound. They may have either metal or wooden bodies. This section includes Resonators, Lap Steels, Hawaiian Guitars and Weissenborns too. Anything designed to play with a slide! Regal dobros date back to the 1930s and the modern examples we stock sound just great. We also have our popular own-brand Ashbury and in Bristol we stock National too.

We stock acoustic basses in all our shops. Canterbury is our main stockist of electric basses and the staff there are players and enthusiasts. We recommend Ashbury for acoustic basses and Fender, Cort and Yamaha for electrics.
