Connolly Music Company has announced a new, exclusive distribution deal with U.K. based Faith Guitars, a brand of Barnes & Mullins, a U.K. based distributor.
Connolly Music has decades of experience in the orchestral market and growing presence in the Pro Audio and MI/ Combo markets. As a result of those successes, Connolly was inspired to diversify their portfolio of products, and the multi award-winning British Faith Guitars brand was their first choice.
Jake Connolly, president, commented, “The Faith guitar line embodies a fresh & winning combination of exquisite hand craftsmanship, superb fit and finish, all solid wood acoustic and acoustic/electric guitars with alluring looks, accompanied by an affordable price point – not to mention a dedicated and burgeoning community of followers. It’s no surprise Faith guitars were voted U.K.’s Best Acoustic Guitar for the past three years. We are proud & excited to introduce them to select U.S. dealers after 13 years of success in the international arena. It is a complete bonus that we are able to work with such a respected partner as Barnes & Mullins in the process”.
With Faith Guitars enjoying great success in many international markets already, Alex Mew, Faith Guitars’ brand manager is looking forward to working closely with the USA.
“The Faith Guitars team are all incredibly excited by this.” Mew begins, “We have been building toward this goal for quite some time, and have been working hard to increase guitar production to a level that can accommodate the demands of the U.S. market. The huge impact that the U.S. has upon other parts of the global guitar market is undeniable, so with our existing strength in the U.K., Europe and Australia plus a rapidly growing presence in China, India and other parts of Asia, Faith Guitars customers, artists and players stand to reap many benefits. Connolly Music’s reputation precedes them, and we have every confidence that they will excel in this new and exciting venture.”
Connolly Music will be receiving stock of Faith guitars during August /September 2015, with pre-orders being taken now.
