Any Colour, Any Pickup, Any Scale Length – All Included in the Price!
Introducing the New Islington, a guitar three years in the making. I’m incredibly proud of how this model has evolved, and I’m excited to share it with you. Read on to learn more about what makes this guitar truly special.
Neck
Custom scale length of your choice. The bolt-on neck is hand-carved from roasted maple and rosewood, with brass and mother-of-pearl inlays for a refined touch. It is attached to the body using high-quality bolts and threaded inserts for a secure, lasting connection. The neck features a medium C profile, with a slight flattening on the back for added comfort, and comes with either a 12" or 9.5" radius for your preferred playing style. A bold, big A neck plate adds a bit of class.
Body
The standard body is made from Korina, a lightweight timber with a rich, resonant tone and beautiful grain. It offers a weight range between 3kg (6.5lbs) and 3.5kg (8lbs), depending on hardware. For an upgrade of just £150, you can choose Swamp Ash, which is slightly heavier but offers stunning grain patterns and more tonal depth (other woods available on request). The body can feature 3 styles of german carve; deep, small or tapered - or non at all, your choice.
Pickups
The New Islington comes equipped with any 2 pickups from Green Pickups in Manchester —From our custom A-Line range of pickups for unique voicing and tones to humbuckers, P90s, Filtertrons or any other option—there’s no extra cost, and I’ll work with you to design the perfect tone for your needs.

Top-quality hardware for unbeatable performance:
- Gotoh locking tuners
- ABM3250 bridge (or upgrade to the Goldo Trem and roller bridge for £250)

All hardware is chosen for its reliability and top-tier quality.

Your New Islington will be carefully packaged and delivered in a protective ABS hardcase, ensuring it arrives in perfect condition.
About the New Islington
The New Islington was the guitar that started it all for me, and I’ve worked hard to preserve its core essence while evolving it alongside my other models. It’s a perfect balance of classic design and modern innovation, delivering both exceptional playability and a sound that stands out.
