As a busy pro musician – you need attributes like these.

Our ‘workhorse’ guitar – a truly hand crafted instrument but at the lowest possible price. I wanted everyone to be able to afford a real handmade guitar without spending an arm and a leg, or compromising on quality, so I came up with this. Its beauty is in the simple layout and ‘flat top’ format so it is quicker to make but has the same playability you would expect from any Bailey guitar.

If you are looking for an introduction to the sound and feel of a pro standard handmade instrument, the Bandsman will get you through the gig. Band members may come and go but this one is made to outlast them all.

There is no stain or colour on this instrument, just a satin finish, which really brings out the natural beauty of the wood. It feels incredibly smooth, so you can do those really fast ‘lightning’ runs without your hand sticking to the back of the neck.

Our Bailey models fit most standard cases, and as many of our customers choose to bring one when collecting a new guitar,, the price does not include a hardcase.

We do recommend a HISCOX hardcase though – and it is essential if we are shipping.
