This Week’s New Arrivals at Swee Lee

This week, we’re pleased to announce the arrival of some cool guitars at very different ends of the price spectrum, yet another brilliant piece of gear from IK Multimedia and a very generous offer from Native Instruments…


Ibanez Steve Vai 25th Anniversary “Passion and Warfare” Guitars

Steve Vai has been regarded as one of the best players in the world for some time. Over the years, he’s also worked with Ibanez on designs for several new guitars (he had a big hand in the release of the first ever 7-string guitar, the Ibanez Universe, back in 1989). So, to mark the 25th anniversary of the release of his ground-breaking “Passion and Warfare” album, Ibanez have released three very special limited edition guitars — “Passion”, “Warfare” and “Silver” (to mark the album’s silver jubilee). Just like Steve’s playing, all of them are unique. This is your chance to own a piece of music history…

Squier Affinity Telecaster

Squier guitars have got a lot going for them. They contain some of the same technology and craftsmanship as their Fender counterparts, but are affordable enough to make them a great “first choice” guitar for anyone just starting out as a guitar player. For 2017, Squier has introduced some great new ‘racing’ colours, including orange, red and the fantastic “race green” you can see on this Telecaster. So whether you’re looking for your first guitar or you just want something a bit different, check out the new Squier range today.

IK Multimedia iRig Acoustic Stage Amplification System

For many acoustic guitar players, a common issue is not being able to recreate on stage the pure acoustic tone they’ve heard so clearly at home or in the studio. Not any more. IK Multimedia have just introduced the iRig Acoustic Stage, which places a high-quality digital microphone right in the guitar’s sound hole. The sound is then managed by a built-in pre-amp/sound processor, which gives you a selection of different tones to choose from, as well as the ability to cancel any feedback that might be generated. It’s also great for anyone who’d like to capture the sound of their guitar, but doesn’t want the extra cost and disruption of adding pickups. However, if you already have a pickup in your guitar, the iRig Acoustic Stage also offers you the ability to blend the sound of your pickups with the microphone, giving you the best of both worlds and a really amazing live sound.

FREE Upgrade to Komplete 11 with Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol S88 Keyboard

Whether it’s on-stage or in the studio, Native Instruments Komplete S88 keyboard offers you almost unlimited possibilities in composition and performance. Plus the S88 also gives you the benefit of a fully-weighted Fatar keyboard, so you can play fast and accurately—no matter what the genre. And now when you buy the Komplete S88, you’ll be given a free upgrade to Komplete 11, making thousands of instruments and sounds available to you. So now’s the perfect time to invest in an S88!
