GJ guitars is the brand name given to our own in house made guitars from Kinellar Guitar Studios, a small repair/ luthier business based in Blackburn, Aberdeen Scotland (est. 1980).

Although some of our builds are commission based, we still sell a few instruments at knock down/ cost prices in house and on line. We are always experimenting with different woods, finishes and electrics and even if there is no money to be made from these sales, we simply want to prove that pound for pound our hand made guitars are much better than the "big named” mass produced models.

There are 3 model ranges ….

The “Tyree” – A single cut, with a bolt on neck guitar (Tele).

The “Scultie” – A double cut, with a bolt on neck guitar (Strat).

The “Brimmond” – All our set neck instruments.

We also use the trade name of “Allt Dubh” for our range of hand wound pickups. Used by many local musicians and a special Telecaster neck and bridge pickups used and endorsed by Baz Warne of The Stranglers. All are designed and hand wound in my home in Blackburn.

 

GJ #85

  This instrument, a "Brimmond" is hand crafted from scratch by myself here in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. This build was completed after approximately 10 months.

The body has been cut from 2 part Mahogany with a highly flamed maple veneer on top. There is no maple cap fitted therefore this instrument has a really warm sound. The body has been stained black on the underside, with a "Root Beer" colour at the front. This was then given to my painter for a clear cellulose lacquer to be added, after it was buffed to a lovely shine.

The neck has been hand cut from a one piece Mahogany with a Rosewood finger board. There are 22 vintage sized frets (levelled, dressed & polished) on the fretboard and a truss rod that is adjustable from the headstock. Trapezoid inlays have been fitted along with a "Rose" decal to the finger board. The headstock has also been adorned with a "Rose" decal. The neck has been set in to the body. The neck is 'C/D' shaped (GJ special) with a 12 inch radius, which is great for string bending without the risk of choking out. The rear of the neck has a GJ "Carousel" shape, this is a special in house design to aid the players hand to the correct position when playing through to the higher fret range. The nut is a Camel bleached bone, carved to precise measurements to aid in action and intonation of the strings. 

Pickups - Neck  and bridge have Allt Dubh AlNiCo V mini humbuckers with a chrome cover and cream surrounds. The Tune-o-Matic bridge has a Piezo built in for the acoustic blend element. There is a 3 way selector switch a 3 volume and a master tone, all of the volume pots are push/ push to split the coils of the desired pickup giving a rich single pickup sound and to switch on the bridge piezo. These pickups can handle just about anything you may wish to throw at them from Country to Rock, or Jazz to Blues - with just a little of Heavy Metal thrown in!

Controls - 250k pots all round (Volume, & Tone), a 0.047k Orange drop cap on the tone pot.

Chrome Tune-o-Matic bridge and stop tailpiece, vintage gold control buttons chrome "Kidney" shaped tuners and a cream selector switch cap, completes the hardware.

Made in August 2017.

Schaller style strap locks have been fitted.

Strings - 0.009 to 0.042 gauge - D'Addario

Extras - GJ guitars Certificate of Authentication, soft guitar bag.

This is an easy to play instrument with a good action and a very slim neck. The variety of tones are exceptional and she sounds really great, with loads of sustain. You will be hard pushed to find another instrument that offers this build and sound quality at this price.

This instrument is for sale to UK Mainland bidders only

Payment by cash on collection or by PayPal.
