Guitar Nerds
Win A Redbeard Effects Red Mist MKIV
Guitar Nerds is brought to you in association with Faith Guitars.
Based right here in the UK, Faith Guitars are designed by British guitar luthier Patrick James Eggle, who has been hand-building guitars for decades for some of the biggest names in the business.
Founded in 2002, Faith Guitars have been voted the UK’s Best Acoustic Guitars 5 times in a row by both the public and panels of music industry experts. So, you can be confident in your new Faith Guitar!
Like all quality acoustics, Faith guitars are made of all-solid tonewoods, so you can be sure they’ll start off sounding great and improve year on year. Faith don’t use Laminated woods. But you’ll be pleased to know that despite the all-solid tonewoods, the superb specification and hand-made construction, Faith Guitars are still affordable with prices starting around £450 or $600USD.
Discover the range here and then visit one of the many UK or European retailers to try them for yourselves.
If you’re in the USA or Canada, you can buy direct HERE – and by using the COUPON CODE: NERDS at checkout you can get an exclusive 10% discount.
This week on Guitar Nerds, the team announce a new and very exciting giveaway for the month of February. Guitar Nerds have teamed up with Mikey Demus and Redbeard Effects to give you the chance to win a Redbeard Red Mist MKIV.
