JANUARY 2009. Happy New Year everyone! We have been off since Christmas and resuming today - 5th Jan 2009. Have a few backlogs to catch up on I see, so if you have sent emails in the last few weeks we'll get to them all this week. 2009 is going to be a great year for left handed guitarists! 

DECEMBER, 2008 Merry Christmas! On behalf of the staff here at Gaskell Guitars - Australia, USA and New Zealand, I would like to extend all of our Christmas greetings, thanks, and cheer to all you lefty guitarists who play Gaskell guitars now, and to all lefty guitarists world wide who don't ... yet. We will be offering the new guitars in 2009 as previously mentioned plus basses - yes! It is going to be an even better year, despite the pressure and rising costs brought about from this "Gloal Economy" disaster. It might be a downward spiral for many businesses in 2009 - but not for us. Lefty guitarists are in force! Keep playing in 2009!

gaskellfirestartersunburst2009.jpg DECEMBER, 2008. Limited Edition Firestarters. Here is a picture of one of the Limited Edition, Sunburst Firestarters with standard headstock. The Firestarter normally has a reverse headstock. Available only in Sunburst colour, once these limited edition ones are gone, there will be no more made with the non-reverse headstock again. The Limited Edition will be going for the same price as the regular Firestarter and also with hard case. Available January 2009. Quantity made = 12.

DECEMBER, 2008. Anniversary. This month is the second anniversary of Gaskell Guitars! We have had an amazing two years and we wish to thank all the many left handed guitarists around the world we have encountered for their support, ideas, and of course, for playing Gaskell guitars! We expect 2009 to be an even better year and we intend to continue to do more good work for left handed guitarists everywhere. Regards, the staff: Kevin, Virginia, Peter, Russell, Alan, Linda.

DECEMBER, 2008. Christmas Deadlines. Sorry folks, our current run of new guitars are not going to back before Christmas. Apologies to those who were counting on Christmas coming at Christmas time this year. Blame the idiots that are running the world economy into the ground. Perhaps they are doing this to make it possible to re-format the economic hard drive of this planet? That's another story! But a story we are all going to be part of in some way! Start writing songs, people and get them being heard!

NOVEMBER, 2008. Update on production.
