About

One of our most versatile guitars, the Semi- Hollow Encounter Series CE551 offers a sonic palette from smooth Jazz through raunchy Blues and singing overdriven sustain without having to crank everything to 11.

The subtle transluscent Cherry Red Hi-Gloss finish shows off the subtle Flame Maple Top and contrasts nicely aganst the Cream Binding Pearl Inlays and Chrome Hardware, giving an overall vintage look to this guitar.

Very popular and well used, the CE551 is ready join you on your journey.

A long conversation with the main man left me understanding why these guitars were so good…. he has personally specified every detail of the instruments. A player and Guitar Teacher himself, Simon Cassidy knows his stuff!! He has produced a range of the most fantastic guitars which offer unbelievable value for money.
