JHS UPS ENTRY
LEVEL STAKES AT NAMM '09 WITH ENCORE® 'E SERIES' ELECTRIC
GUITARS
That
all-important first electric guitar...
Chosen well, perhaps the guitar to get you playing guitar
for the rest of your life. With this in mind, acclaimed 'Guitar
Guru', Trev Wilkinson - inspired designer of Fret-King™
and Vintage® guitars and the creator of many a now-standard
guitar innovation - has designed in to the new Encore E series
Electric Guitar Range the features and subtle nuances which
make a truly inspiring guitar, detail you’d never expect
to find in an entry level guitar, using 40 years of knowledge,
Trev truly has created THE BEST 'first guitar' in the world.
Encore has been the UK's #1 selling entry-level guitar for
over 30 years, but now - the best just got even better!
ENCORE
Here's why - check out the Encore E6 Blaster's
twin cutaway body shape, loved by guitar players the world
over, has been carefully tweaked by Trev Wilkinson here to
be as comfortable, ergonomic and balanced as possible. Sculpted
from naturally vibrant Wuton tone wood, the E6 is light, resonant
and easy to wear - ideal for the novice player! With very
carefully voiced wilkinson designed pickups, some cool electronic
trickery, Trev’s usual attention to the vibrato, and
a class-leading neck/fingerboard profile, the E6 is just a
breath of fresh air.
Fans of out-and-out rock and blues guitar music might find
themselves gravitating towards the distinctive single cutaway
body/twin humbucker pickup layout of the Encore E99
Blaster electric.
Another favorite body style, the single cutaway-bodied
Encore E2 Blaster offers good upper fret access and
easy playability with its straightforward ‘neck and
bridge’ pickup layout, controlled by a 3-way pickup
selector offering neck, mid (both), and bridge options. Those
classic, single coil tone voicings can easily be achieved
with the Wilkinson-designed neck and bridge pickups - for
those who love rock, blues, and country-based guitar sounds.
Lastly, who could resist the newest addition to the Encore
range? The Encore E69 Blaster's twin-horned,
twin humbuckered, long-neck look just screams 'ROCK!' And
at this kind of price, we can all rock out!
To get a true flavour of playing a full size bass guitar,
put the new Encore E4 Blaster Bass Guitar through its paces.
Full size bass guitars can be unwieldy beasts to the inexperienced
- the E4 is constructed from Wuton, a low mass tone wood coupled
to a rock maple neck with a rosewood fingerboard. This makes
the Encore E4 bass guitar as easy to get
on with as any full size bass guitar can be!
Whatever guitar or bass style you want to start playing, Encore
and Trev Wilkinson have got it covered - find more Encore
info on the JHS website at the link below.
FRET-KiNG
Plus - find out what makes the Trev Wilkinson-designed Fret-King
Green Label and Blue Label guitar ranges so special...Fret-King
enjoyed a hugely successful international launch at NAMM 2008,
and enjoyed great acclaim throughout the year from press and
public alike. Come along and see Trev's unique, experimental
'STVDIO SERIES' (sic) Fret-Kings on display also - wow!
VINTAGE
Also on the JHS stand are Vintage guitars and basses and will
be the first opportunity to see the new 2009 models! Vintage
guitars have earned a reputation for high value, high spec
fitments with extremely competitive price tags - including
Vintage Icon 'distressed finish' electric guitars, and the
intriguing and innovative Trev’ Wilkinson designed Vintage

normally only found on 'high dollar' boutique instruments!

and preamps from the best known name in acoustic amplification

the crunch -
