Having dissolved Peerless Guitars Europe in December 2014, director Graham Essen has returned with a new company, Fibonacci Guitars.
Essen has now ended his association with the Korean brand, meaning Peerless now has no UK distribution, and has instead set up his own operation with the aim of launching a range of nine guitars in the spring. The guitars are being manufactured across four different factories in Korea, China and Europe and are shipped into the UK, to be assmebled, hand-finished and completed with hardware. The range, largely hollow-bodied and arch-top models is expected to be priced between £699-£2500 with a gig bag.
The line-up will be distributed through a small selection (5-6) dealers in the UK with agents in major European territories such as France and Germany, and sold direct to the rest of the world.
