Description

The Northstar Double Cut HSS Inca Silver is a modern solid body electric guitar designed for players who want wide tonal range and easy playability. With a classic double cut shape for unhindered upper fret access and an HSS pickup layout, it suits rock, pop, indie and worship just as well as blues and funk. The punch of a bridge humbucker meets the sparkle of two single coils, so you can cover chunky rhythm, glassy cleans and expressive lead lines with one instrument. Finished in shimmering Inca Silver, it looks smart on stage and in the classroom while remaining light enough for longer practice sessions.

Stepping up from a basic Student 1 guitar, this model focuses on feel, tuning stability and consistent tone. The comfortable neck profile sits naturally in the hand and the fingerboard is smooth across all frets, helping new chords and bends feel controlled. The tremolo bridge responds musically for subtle vibrato or gentle dives, and the hardware is selected for reliable performance and confident tuning. Five way switching provides intuitive access to all core sounds, while the master volume and two tone controls let you quickly shape brightness and bite. The result is a guitar that feels more refined and inspires you to play for longer.

For UK tuition and school use, the Northstar Double Cut HSS covers the sounds required across most lesson plans and ensemble work. Clean, crunch and overdriven tones are all on tap, making it ideal for graded pieces, band rehearsals and home practice. The standard 25.5 inch scale encourages familiar string tension, so technique learned in lessons translates easily to rehearsal rooms and stages. The durable finish and tidy build help it cope with daily travel between school and home, and the versatile voice means fewer gear changes as tastes develop. It is a dependable, great value choice for growing players who want a capable first serious guitar.

Features

Versatile HSS pickup set

The combination of a powerful bridge humbucker with two clear and articulate single coils delivers a wide palette of sounds. From chunky rock rhythm to bright pop cleans and expressive blues leads, the HSS layout adapts effortlessly to different musical styles and rehearsal needs.

Comfortable double cut design

The classic double cut body provides easy upper fret access and a well balanced feel whether seated or standing. A comfortable neck profile and a smooth fingerboard support confident fretting and bending, helping developing players progress with less fatigue across longer practice sessions.

Smooth tremolo and stable tuning

A responsive tremolo bridge offers musical vibrato and gentle pitch effects without fuss. Paired with solid, dependable hardware and straightforward setup, it promotes stable tuning and a consistent feel, so you can focus on playing rather than constant adjustment.

Striking Inca Silver finish

The gloss Inca Silver finish is both eye catching and practical. It looks smart under stage lights and in the classroom, while the durable surface resists everyday marks and wipes clean easily, making it a sensible choice for busy students and regular rehearsals.
