Fabulous and Fun New SpongeBob SquarePants Real Musical Instruments for 2012!

John Hornby Skewes & Co. Ltd. is delighted to announce a raft of new additions to the extremely popular range of SpongeBob SquarePants Real Musical Instruments for 2012.

These bright and colourful new electric and acoustic guitar and ukulele outfits – which all feature eye-catching designs featuring SpongeBob and all his friends from Bikini Bottom – sound amazing, are great fun to play, and come at prices ideal for kids and younger learners. They also come with a range of accessories to let you get started straight away.

Guitars

First up is the SBG78 7/8 Size Electric Guitar Outfit (UK RRP £149). With its classic double-cutaway 7/8 size body and its fast and comfortable full-sized neck, the SBG78 is ideal for budding rockers and rollers, and it comes with a Micro Blaster Amplifier with Volume, Tone & Overdrive controls, Carry Bag, Guitar Strap, Guitar Cable, Pick & SpongeBob Tutorial DVD.

Ideal for smaller hands is the SBG34 3/4 Size Electric Guitar Outfit (UK RRP £129). Featuring a funky built-in speaker, the SBG34 allows you to get loud at the flick of a switch, although you can plug it into a conventional amp too, and there's also a headphone socket for silent practice if you've already pushed your parents to the end of their tether. The SBG34 comes with a Carry Bag, Guitar Strap, Pick & SpongeBob Tutorial DVD.

For acoustic players is the SBG01 Junior Guitar Outfit (UK RRP £49.99). This junior-sized nylon string acoustic guitar is easy on the fingers but heavy on the tone, and comes with a Carry Bag, Guitar Strap, Pitch Pipe, Spare Set of Strings, Pick and instructions to get you started.

Ukuleles

Leading the global ukulele resurgence is this new SpongeBob trio, all of which feature wooden bodies, nylon strings and geared machines – so they tune very accurately – and they also come with a carry bag, pitch pipe, plectrum and instructions.

The SBUP2 Pineapple Ukulele Outfit (UK RRP £34.99) is pineapple-shaped – just like SpongeBob's underwater home – while the classic-shaped SBUK1 Ukulele Outfit (UK RRP £32.99) is for traditionalists.

Finally, the none-more-rock 'n' roll SBUV3 Flying ‘V’ Ukulele Outfit (UK RRP £44.99) is possibly the coolest of the lot with its black body and neck contrasting amazingly with the SpongeBob faces adorning its front.

The uke and acoustic guitar outfits are available now, with the electrics hitting stores in Spring 2012, so unleash your inner SpongeBob and get rocking – or get them for your kids, and get them learning and having fun straight away.
