Prodipe : the excellence finally affordable

Beginners have essential special needs, which few manufacturers know how to satisfy.

Thanks to the skill of its luthiers, PRODIPE GUITARS has created a model that is perfect for learning.

From conception to manufacture, including selection of wood, setting the height of the strings and bridge, and profiling the neck, everything is designed to make learning easy.

Because we know that these first guitars often get rough treatment (transported frequently, with or without a case, in all weathers, forgotten in the boot of a car parked in the sun, etc.), PRODIPE GUITARS' PRIMERA models have a carbon insert in the neck that makes this guitar very light and resistant.

Practically exclusive in this price range!

Designed for both children who want to start with the electric guitar and for older children who are looking for a small travel guitar with a great sound, the ST Junior is set to become the market reference in the field.

Because a junior guitar is too often considered as "toy", the Prodipe Guitars teams had a special attention for this model!

With the implementation of rigorous specifications and the desire to create a real instrument, Prodipe Guitars has obtained a small scale length guitar, with optimal tension for a natural play and a finish as good as models from series ST80 / 83.

Seriousness and experience serving children big and small.

Delivered with its 10 mm cover

The TC80 ASH is a great standard that we wanted to revisit!

• An ash body recognized for decades for its sound qualities.
• A wood that brings power and dynamics to the instrument.
• A neck in vintage varnished maple,
• A maple fingerboard for more brilliance and edge. .

We have also chosen to fit ALNICO V pickups, and a set of nickel-coated SAVAREZ 9-46 strings for an exceptional result in this price range.

ALNICO V pickups are made with an aluminium-nickel-cobalt alloy, which offers several advantages:

• Lower magnetic field than a ceramic pickup, for optimum string vibration giving more sustain.
• Unlike ceramic pickups, ALNICO pickups contain 6 separate magnets. This allows us to choose the perfect configuration for each string during manufacture, thus achieving better balance.
• The aluminium-nickel-cobalt alloy is also ideal for a palette of warm, full, precise sounds.
• Finally, the TC80MA ASH has a pickup configuration consisting of two single coils, in the perfect tradition for faultless versatility.

A BEST-SELLER...

The fruit of an active, passionate, exciting collaboration with luthier Yao HANSON, the creator of ALTAMIRA guitars.

Also available in 3/4 size for younger players, and regularly recommended by teachers, this excellent guitar at a very attractive price is already making all the difference for students.

The PRODIPE GUITARS TC80RA series follows the greatest tradition of SOLID BODY guitar manufacture.

The best craftsmen for an unmatched result:

At PRODIPE GUITARS we enjoy a challenge and we determined to make basses costing from 229 € to compete with instruments costing 400 to 600 €. We enjoy creating instruments which compete with the models of our competitors who are more prestigious and charge considerably more.

The JB and PB models achieve this object 'con brio'!

A single path in the manufacture of our ranges: sincerity and generosity.

• Sincerity for all our basses: we take particular care in the choice of wood and the craftsmanship, even for parts which are not visible, like the body. We also use old-fashioned varnishes for the traditional BLACKS and SUNBURSTS.
• Generosity in the fitting out, both the accessories and the electronics: factory-mounted ALNICO V pickups and D'ADDARIO strings are standard on all our models.

PRODIPE GUITARS JB80RAVW basse recreates perfectly the identity of the original model.

The ALNICO V kit enables us to recover the sound of the greatest and best known bass players: Jaco PASTORIUS, Marcus MILLER, Victor WOOTEN...

The most requested range of PRIMERA guitars is evolving.

Because everyone has the right to the best and whatever their budget, PRODIPE GUITARS launches the PRIMERA EQ. Designed for musicians and their comfort, the new EQ model incorporates the same characteristics as the acoustic model:

• Spruce top, back and sides in Mahogany
• Fitted bone for the Nut and saddle
• Double carbon reinforcements inserted in the neck for an optimal comfort, a thinner handle, a better balance and a reduced weight.

Because we build instruments with the needs of the musician in mind, the new PRIMERA EQ is built with a 48 mm width at nut, always more comfort and a simplified access for acoustic guitarists looking for nylon feelings.

Always equipped with our preamp EP-1 PRODIPE, extremely powerful and easy to use, it is already a reference thanks to its respect of the acoustic sound of the guitar and its bluffing presence.

The EP-1 pre-amplifier was conceived for a single purpose: to give a very natural, balanced sound rich in harmonics.
