Whether you're playing at home, jamming with your band, or performing live, this guitar is ready for anything.
 
While these guitars are priced more affordably, don’t be mistaken — they are far from "cheap" in quality. Every NQ Stage Guitar is crafted with the same care, attention to detail, and premium components you'd expect from our high-end instruments. Featuring a distinctive design and exclusive hand-wound pickups from Green Pickups of Manchester, they deliver a sound and playability that competes with much more expensive models. The lightweight Korina body and roasted maple neck ensure comfort, while the overall construction guarantees durability and long-lasting performance.
 
At Ancoats Guitars, we pride ourselves on originality and quality, and the NQ Stage Guitar embodies these values. Elevate your playing experience with a guitar that's as unique as you are.
