With two single-coils and a humbucker in the bridge position, an HSS-configured electric guitar is an indispensable option to have in your tonal palette. And if your arsenal is currently lacking in the HSS department, now might be the time to plug the gap.

Right now at Thomann, you can get this Mooer GTRS Standard 800 SB – complete with hundreds of onboard effects, guitar simulations, a looper and even a drum machine – for just £175 down from £289.

That’s right. Until 14 July, you can get this impressively spec’d entry-level HSS guitar at a 39% discount, or £114 off.

Obviously, chief on the spec sheet is its onboard electronics, which include 126 guitar effects, nine guitar simulations, four selectable and editable presets, an 80-second looper, a drum machine and even Bluetooth 5.0, but it’s decently spec’d in the hardware department, too.

It features an American basswood body, roasted maple one-piece C-shape bolt-on neck, rosewood fingerboard with 22 nickel silver jumbo frets, and a cream pickguard, which beautifully accentuates the guitar’s striking Sonic Blue finish.

In terms of pickups, the guitar sports GTRS SC-1N and SC-1M Alnico V single coils in the neck and middle positions, and a GTRS HM-1B Alnico V humbucker in the bridge position, with singular volume and tone controls and a five-way selector switch.

There’s also an accompanying Mooer GTRS app for additional tonal control plus a handy tuner, too.

So whether you’re looking for your first guitar, or an HSS model to plug that hole in your collection, with the Mooer GTRS Standard 800 SB, you won’t go far wrong – certainly not at this price.
