SPARROW GUITARS: HAND PAINTED PURE ROCK N’ROLL FROM CANADA LAUNCHED IN AUSTRALIA BY NICHE MUSIC SUPPLIES  Using hot rods, motorcycles, pin ball, tattoos and 1950s rock n’ roll as their inspiration, the Sparrow Guitar Co. of Vancouver, Canada, creates a stunning high-quality affordable brand-new electric guitars, and the full range is now being marketed throughout Australia & NZ by wholesalers Niche Music Supplies of Warners Bay, NSW. Sparrow Guitars come in traditional body styles, many of which boast the most remarkable attention to detail that includes stainless steel frets, bone nuts, and shielded cavities. And the guitars’ custom paint finishes and pinstriping really have to be seen to be appreciated, with striking designs like flames, rocket, web, and iron cross.  The four guitar models in the current Sparrow family are the ‘Big Daddy’ hollow-body electric (think Rockabilly), the ‘Primitive’ semi-electric body electric (think Chuck Berry), the ‘Rat Rod’ solid body electric (think ZZ-Top), and one particular model that is sure to appeal to c&w players: the ‘Twangmaster’ -- a solid contoured ash body electric complete with vintage blonde maple neck and fingerboard (think James Burton), that also comes in an authentic natural finish and with stripes -- aptly designated ‘Country’. Sparrow’s highly distinctive guitars are offered in three levels: ‘Pro’ (stock Sparrow pickups and tuners), ‘Boss’ (Kent Armstrong pickups, Grover tuners) and ‘Ace’ (Kent Armstrong pickups, Grover tuners, plus a genuine licensed Bigsby tremolo). In addition, the ‘Twangmaster’ can be ordered in a ‘Kustom’ option replacing the ‘Ace’ specification and sporting a Kent Armstrong humbucker and soft-coil, and a die-cut ‘blackguard’ pickguard with special tone and volume control knobs. All Sparrow guitars come fully-set-up, and with warranty. To launch the Sparrow brand into Australia -- for a limited time only -- all Sparrow Guitars are being offered at a special introductory retail price ranging from just A$749.00 to A$1599.00, depending on model and artwork. In addition, there are optional Sparrow guitar heavy-duty protective cases to fit each model, which are covered in an unusual retro two-tone black and white scuff-proof material.
