The Raw and The Cooked- Mickey Baker

On planet Jimmy Wiggins, I have always admired both the raw end of music and the sophisticated. Sometimes both at once. In the specific area of the guitar my main influences have been gut bucket stuff with an edge such as Johnny"Guitar" Watson and the more sophisticated stylings of the likes of Kenny Burrell, and anything in between.

One thing that has always puzzled me is the lack of accolades or interest in Mickey Baker. To me he embodies both ends of the spectrum simultaneously .. Check out this clip of him with Coleman Hawkins



Cool eh? To read more about him, see this excellent article on Jim Herrington's blog here

See, we are not only about selling you guitars,

Peerless Guitars- Who are they ?


As Nottingham's only dealer for Peerless Guitars, I am duty bound to talk to you about them. For the past 40 years the Peerless factory has been manufacturing both archtop and solid body guitars for a number of big names- Gretsch, Epihpone, Gibson , Fender et al have all used the factory.

Until a few years ago if you bought and Epiphone semi guitar it was likley made in the Peerless factory. However these days all the Epiphone semi's are made in China. The guitars made in the Peerless factory are now sought after items.

Peerless guitars are very high quality, good value instruments- with endorsees such as Martin Taylor, Big Jim Sullivan and Richard Thompson, isn't it time you checked one out? I even play one myself...
