227	<h1>Welcome</h1>
228<p>
229Welcome to JP Guitars, Bristol.
230</p>
231
232<p>
233I've been playing, restoring and building guitars here in Bristol, England since my misspent youth in the 1970s. 
234At that time, a cheap guitar was a poor guitar, and the only way to get something playable was to learn how to do 
235setups, replace nuts and bridges, rewire pickups. etc. 
236It was also incredibly difficult to get spare parts, let alone bodies, necks and the like. 
237It all began to change with the 'retro-fit' revolution of the late 1970s and early 1980s, 
238when companies like DiMarzio, Schecter and Seymour Duncan came on to the scene.
239</p>
240<p>    
241Since then things have changed out of all proportion. 
242These days it only takes a quick trawl around the web to find out about the most arcane aspects of guitar building and repair, 
243and the availability of guitar parts and tools has never been better. The quality of work being undertaken is truly remarkable. 
244</p>
245<p>
246Please browse our website to find out more about our work. 
247We take on pretty well most jobs in our well-equipped workshop - from full restorations to setups and quick repairs. 
248See the <a href="projects/projects.htm">Projects</a> pages for more information about some of our more interesting (or challenging!) tasks.

357We've had a lot of ukes in recently, including a Collings, a 1920s Martin 2M and a couple of very nice Hive models.

377Just been fitting a <a href="sales/pickups_and_amplification/kandk/pickup_and_mic_systems/trinity_pro_mini.htm">K&amp;K Trinity Mini Pro system</a> to an African kora harp. An interesting challenge - should the transducers be attached to the goatskin or the calabash?

385<b>Baggs Session Acoustic</b>
386<p>
387The Session Acoustic DI is LR Baggs' latest offering. I've long been a fan of Baggs preamps like the Para Acoustic DI, and this moves the Para DI concept to a new level. The Session DI enhances your acoustic pickup and imparts the rich sonic character that you'd expect from an experienced audio engineer using some of the world's finest studio gear. LR Baggs have captured this studio magic and put it into a compact, easy-to-use DI that will transform your live sound. All the essentials in one very well designed package. See the <a href="sales/pickups_and_amplification/lr_baggs/pickups/pickups.htm">LR Baggs pickups</a> page if you're interested.

390<b>K&amp;K Ultra Pure</b>
391<p>
392K&amp;K's Ultra Pure active system has been completely redesigned in response to customer feedback. The newly designed UltraPure Preamp features +/-20 db bass/low, K&amp;K's proprietary wide band midrange, and treble/high controls, plus internal gain trimmer. The addition of a phase switch is one of the most important tools for live sound amplification. Also includes a volume control and low battery indicator. All features are easily accessed at the soundhole. See the <a href="sales/pickups_and_amplification/kandk/preamps_and_volume_controls/preamps_and_volume_controls.htm">K&amp;K preamps</a> page if you're interested. Also available as the updated <a href="sales/pickups_and_amplification/kandk/active_pure_bridgeplate_systems/active_pure_bridgeplate_systems.htm">UltraPure System</a>, with integrated Pure Pickup.
393</p>
394<p>
395<b>K&amp;K preamp</b>
396<p>
397K&amp;K's Pure XLR Mach 2 preamp has arrived. Better signal quality than ever, and a range of additional features. The tunable notch filter is especially useful. See the <a href="sales/pickups_and_amplification/kandk/preamps_and_volume_controls/preamps_and_volume_controls.htm">K&amp;K preamps</a> page if you're interested.

400<b>Baggs soundhole pickup</b>
401<p>
402LR Baggs' latest soundhole pickup design, the <a href="sales/pickups_and_amplification/lr_baggs/pickups/m80.htm">M-80</a>, is now in stock. It's a big step up from the well-established M1/M1A design, with an impressively natural and more microphone-like sound, which makes it one of the very best soundhole pickups on the market. If you want a bridgeplate mike system, we also have LR Baggs' new <a href="sales/pickups_and_amplification/lr_baggs/pickups/l
402yric.htm">Lyric microphone system</a>. Simpler than the Anthem or Anthem SL, it uses a newly designed full-range bridgeplate mike combined with active electronics instead of the Anthem's combination of mike and under-saddle transducer. It's getting some excellent reviews on the guitar forums.

405<b>New tuners in stock</b>

415<b>Sunrise</b>
416<p>
417Just arrived are the fabled Sunrise soundhole pickups. Sunrise pickups are built entirely by Jim Kaufman. There is a limited production run, with a maximum total of 1000 units sold annually. The Sunrise pickup has earned the respect of professional players on stage and in the studio for over 25 years, and has proved well suited to a wide range of musical styles. Well-known users include Keith Richard, Lyle Lovett, Michael Hedges and Richard Thompson. In that time it has proven itself as a reliable, tough, professional unit. This pickup represents the ultimate in the uncompromising search for a truly acoustic guitar sound capable of high sound pressure levels.
