📣 Behind every local business is a story worth telling!

🔦 We're shining a spotlight on more incredible local businesses today, sharing their journeys, passions and the people behind them, in their own words.

🎸 Today we're jamming with Bob Murdoch at Guitar Lounge - Retford:

"Bob started his music career whilst still at school playing in a 4-piece band. Unfortunately, this didn't last long but he moved into guitar sales in 1974 and has had a flourishing business every since!

Bob has travelled around the world taking guitar sales to America, Mexico, Germany and of course the length and breadth of the UK.

The Guitar Lounge was established when Berry's Worksop closed in 2012, leaving musicians having to travel to Sheffield or Doncaster for a set of strings. The Guitar Lounge has since become a thriving shop in Retford and remains a unique, specialist hub beloved by musicians from all over."

Here for sale we have an Epiphone Ltd Edition Bjorn Gelotte 'Jotun' Les Paul Custom Outfit in Bone White finish. Made in China in 2017, this guitar is the signature model of In Flames guitarist Bjorn Gelotte, and features several refinements that bring the instrument in line with his preferences. These include the Rounded Custom'59 neck profile, EMG 81/85 active pickup set with Gold covers & pickup rings and even the stylized headstock inlay which echoes the In Flames 'Jester Head' logo as well as the traditional Gibson crown inlay. Naturally, a set-neck construction is employed, and comprises a Mahogany body with Maple top, Mahogany neck and 22 fret Ebony fingerboard. Gold hardware is fitted including a Nashville-style ToM bridge, StopBar tailpiece & Grover Rotomatic tuning mahcines. A pair of active EMG USA Metalworks pickups arte installed, with an 81 in the bridge & an 85 in the neck. These are wire to the traditional Les Paul controls.

The Mahogany neck plays very well, with the Rounded Custom '59 profile filling the hand nicely for a substantial playing experience across the register. Certainly on the thicker side, the neck has bags of character & feels very inspiring to play. With plenty of material to grasp, it's easy to sustain a firm grip for those heavy riffs & chrushing rhythm playing. That said, the neck still feels articulate enough for lead lines and solos without feeling at all cumbersome. The Ebony of the fingerboard provides a smooth & durable playing surface which feels nice & luxurious under the fingers. With it's traditional 12" radius & medium jumbo frets, lead techniques like string bending & vibrato are an absolute breeze.

Amplified, the pair of active EMG USA Metalworks 81/85 pickups deliver huge, crushing tones, just as we expect from Gelotte & EMG. Punchy & lightly compressed with clean settings, these pickups can handle an unholy amount of gain, and saturate completely when you drive the amp hard. The bridge is nice & bright, cutting easily through the mix to put your riffs front & centre. The neck is of course rounder, and produces plenty of power for melodic lines and solos. The controls are kept simple, but as always with the Les Paul layout offer ample opportunity for tweaking whilst playing. A seriously cool instrument with some tasteful refinements that make it an absolute metal machine.
