They are also known for their innovation and willingness to experiment with new designs, features, and technologies, resulting in unique and innovative instruments.
4. Vintage Appeal: Vintage Japanese-made guitars from the 1970s and 1980s, often referred to as “lawsuit era” guitars, are highly prized by collectors and enthusiasts.

As a result, vintage Japanese guitars from this era are sought after for their historical significance, quality craftsmanship, and unique designs.

Used

Buying used guitars, effects pedals, amplifiers, and other music gear in the UK offers a treasure trove of opportunities for musicians looking to expand their sound palette without breaking the bank. One key item you might want to buy is a used electric guitar. Vintage models or high-end brands like Fender, Gibson, or PRS often maintain excellent quality over the years and can be found at significantly lower prices than new ones. These guitars often come with a history and character that new instruments lack, offering unique tonal qualities and a distinctive feel that can inspire your playing. Additionally, many used guitars come with upgrades or modifications that can enhance their playability and sound, providing added value.

Effects pedals are another great category for purchasing used. Classic pedals like the Boss DS-1 Distortion, Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Pi, or the Ibanez Tube Screamer have stood the test of time and are sought after for their distinctive sounds. Buying these used can save you money while still delivering the iconic tones that have shaped countless recordings. Used multi-effects units, like the Line 6 Helix or Boss GT-1000, can also be found at more affordable prices and offer a wide range of sounds in a single package. Amplifiers, particularly tube amps from brands like Marshall, Vox, or Fender, are another smart buy in the used market. These amps are known for their rich, warm tones and durability, and purchasing them second-hand can provide you with professional-quality sound without the hefty price tag. By opting for used gear, you can access a wider variety of high-quality equipment that might otherwise be out of reach, allowing you to build a versatile and inspiring setup.

The Hoshino Gakki company began in 1908 as the musical instrument sales division of the Hoshino Shoten, a bookstore chain. Hoshino Gakki decided in 1935 to make Spanish-style acoustic guitars, at first using the “Ibanez Salvador” brand name in honor of Spanish luthier Salvador Ibáñez, and later simply “Ibanez”.

In the 1970s, the Nisshin Onpa company who owned the Maxon brand name, developed and began selling a series of effect pedals in Japan. Hoshino Gakki licensed these for sale using the name Ibanez outside Japan. These two companies eventually began doing less and less business together until Nisshin Onpa ceased manufacturing the TS-9 reissue for Hoshino Gakki in 2002.
