DESCRIPTION:
The WEM Sapphire, is a vintage electric guitar produced by the Wem (Watkins Electric Music) company, a British manufacturer known for making musical instruments and amplifiers. The Sapphire was part of WEM's lineup in the 1960s and early 1970s, aimed at offering an affordable and accessible electric guitar for musicians, particularly those starting out or looking for a budget-friendly option.
Notable for its distinctive design, the WEM Sapphire features a solid body, typically with a slightly offset shape. The guitar's build was simple but reliable, making it popular among players looking for a functional and straightforward instrument.
WEM was an important brand during the rise of the British rock scene in the 1960s, and although the Sapphire didn't reach the fame of some of its American counterparts, it remains a collectible item today for its unique charm and its role in the development of British electric guitars.
This particular model has some general wear and tear, reflective of it's age. This guitars standby switch is broken in the ON position but plays cleanly up the neck.
