Location: Canton (Detroit), MI | How many of you have heard of Pilgrim Guitars, which apparently were made in the UK in the 1980s???? I first heard about them from a friend of mine today...she was at a Scottish festival in Indiana yesterday and a lady singer there from the UK had one. My friend (who has several Martins) thought it was one of the nicest-sounding guitars she had ever heard.
I found this on them:

When you click on the "Specifications" tab, the next sound you will hear after the picture loads will be your jaw hitting the keyboard!!! That side view shocked me!!! Check the description of the neck construction, too.
They are no longer in production (I have a very good guess why)....does anyone here know the story and/or more about them????

Location: Scotland | I had one of these about 15 years ago. Bought it from the classifieds in a London newspaper for about £75. The amazing thing was that it had a Sunrise pickup in the soundhole which I presumed the seller was going to keep but he left it in there. I still have the pickup but the guitar is long gone. They were pretty good but not so good that I still own one |
