Steve Fairclough has been a professional guitar player for over 40 years.

During that time, he has had a vast experience of teaching and tuition at all levels. In the early ‘90s he founded the Guitar Academy in the North of England. He toured the world through his work as international demonstrator for both Takamine and Parker guitars, going on to be a patron and course leader at the world-renowned Bath International Guitar Festival. He has written columns for many UK guitar magazines, and was responsible for writing the examination pieces for the Young Acoustic Guitarist of the Year competitions. He was also the European Ambassador for Fishman Transducers!

These days he resides here at Scan, leading the Pro Audio department.

For years, Steve had never really been entirely comfortable recommending a beginner or intermediate guitar, as most available brands and models were built solely on price, using the cheapest components to offer the cheapest guitar on the wall.

These Fairclough guitars have been built with specification first and foremost.

The woods used are good quality, well dried and well sawn. The pickups are typically Wilkinson for electric guitars and Fishman for acoustics, delivering tones that will beat anything else available in beginner level guitars around the same price point. The hardware used complements the playability and sound the Fairclough guitars are capable of, offering solid tuning stability that is all-important for guitarists of any level.

On top of this each guitar is quality inspected before it leaves the factory, and then undergoes a full professional 22-point set-up by our seasoned guitar techs before it leaves our warehouses to you!
