If you have been following my recommendations over the past 13 years you will know that I believe Stonebridge represent the finest acoustic guitars in the World. Tonally, I have never heard an acoustic instrument that can mirror the clarity, depth and bell like tone that resonates from the body of a Stonebridge. The most commonly recommended instruments tend to focus around the 22CM & 23CR. I would be happy to discuss the reasons why if you want to give me a call on 01926 833389 or email me via our contact us page.
The Bluegrass range are all out Vintage. However these instrument don't just fain a Vintage vibe - they are as close to a Vintage instrument as you will ever hear without paying thousands for a pre War classic Martin.
The secret behind the Bluegrass tone lies in the "aging" process which organically changes the wood in structure and composition to resemble an 80-year-old piece of wood. The wood is exposed to enzymes and micro-organisms that eat away everything from the wood that would decay naturally over time. What you are left with is anon-hydro scopic piece of wood that is completely dry and much lighter. It is open and light and produces a tone that is closeto that of a vintage instrument.
Words cannot do justice to the outrageous nature of these acoustic guitars. Stonebridge (Furch) literally threw away the rulebook when they decided on how much fun you can have with a £500 guitar! Utilising a combination of what we believe may be a high pressure laminating technique on the back and sides with a bowed back which gives wonderful projection and additional strength (so much so that the need for internal bracing is eradicated which further improves resonance), they share the tonal properties of an all solid acoustic - and not just ANY acoustic - A Stonebridge acoustic!
Please trust me when I say your journey will not be wasted if you take the time to travel over and try these Eastern European gems!

Stonebridge Guitars
Stonebridge acoustic guitars are quite simply the most exciting find in my 13 years of guitar retail. Exquisite tone, simple and understated styling and character that overshadows even the likes of Taylor and Martin. As the first guitar store in the UK to try one when they were imported for the first time we rapidly became the largest dealer in the UK, effectively killing off our Taylor (my former love!) and Martin sales. For this reason I now dedicate my time to Stonebridge and just love to help anyone who wants to share my passion for these wonderful guitars.
Ranging from £450 - £1500 Stonebridge represent the finest instruments on the market today and I hope I can help you further.
