Prepare to completely rethink what a baritone guitar can do because PRS Guitars has just broken all the traditional design rules.
The spectacular new PRS SE Ed Sheeran signature model drops a hollow body and an extended scale length straight into your hands. Thanks to the clever combination of classic magnetic pickups and an onboard piezo bridge, you can access two entirely different musical worlds at once.
Isolate the crystal-clear acoustic voice for lush strumming patterns or unleash the high-output humbuckers for massive low-end riffs that pack a serious punch. Wrapped in a gorgeous flame maple veneer with iconic bird inlays, this handsome hollowbody looks every bit as premium as it sounds.

Walrus Audio just dropped two of the most exciting pedals we have had in store in a long time, and your signal chain is never going to be the same again.
Guitarists, the Highpoint Optical Compressor is your new best friend, bringing analogue optical compression with console-style LED VU monitoring, a 1 megaohm input impedance, and a full 20Hz to 20kHz frequency response. This is all housed in a compact, beautifully built die-cast enclosure that looks as good on your board as it sounds in your ears.
Meanwhile, bass players will be overjoyed with the Mantle Analogue Bass Preamp and DI, a premium studio-grade preamp created in close collaboration with Ian Martin Allison and built around proprietary custom-wound Sapphire transformers. The end result is a unit that delivers authoritative low-end and midrange push reminiscent of a classic Neve circuit, paired with an airy top end inspired by revered API preamp architecture.
Both pedals are true bypass, built to Walrus Audio's famously high standard of component quality, and ready to transform whatever comes next in your signal path, whether that is an amp, an interface, or a mixer.

Some guitars you play. Some guitars you stare at for ten minutes before you even plug them in. 👀
The Fender Custom Shop Artisan Rose Myrtle Stratocaster and Telecaster in Blonde Honey Burst are very firmly in the second camp. Both feature roasted ash bodies with stunning rose myrtle tops, 21 medium vintage frets, and an anodised aluminium gold pickguard that makes the Blonde Honey Burst finish look even more spectacular.
The Strat delivers three Custom Shop hand-wound Fat 60s single-coils covering every vintage Strat tone you've ever dreamed of, while the Tele brings its own flavour with a hand-wound '64 bridge pickup and a Twisted neck single-coil for that unmistakable Telecaster snap and warmth. Both are limited editions, and both will absolutely disappear before you've finished thinking about it. Your only real problem is choosing between the two.

Two pedals. Two legendary circuits. One very dangerous visit to Swee Lee incoming.
The Bad Cat Amplifiers Burmese Drive and Siamese Drive have just landed, and if overdrive tones are your thing — and let's be honest, they absolutely are — these two are going to make your pedalboard look very different by the end of the week. The Burmese is a hand-crafted dual-channel BB-style overdrive with individual Gain, Tone, Output, and Bright/Warm toggles per channel, built for everything from glassy, clean-ish breakup to thick, saturated harmonic stacking — all wrapped in a black sparkle powder-coated enclosure that looks as mean as it sounds.
The Siamese brings the K-style circuit's unmistakable clarity and dynamic touch into the same dual-channel format, delivering harmonic bloom and mid-forward bite with a pearl white finish and royal blue silk screen that's genuinely gorgeous on a board. Stack either of them with themselves, run them clean and dirty side by side, or use one for rhythm and one for lead — the options are genuinely endless.
Bad Cat built these for players who refuse to compromise on tone, and honestly, we think that's exactly right. Shop the Bad Cat collection at Swee Lee now: https://www.sweelee.com.sg/collections/bad-cat

Whether you're eyeing a Bad Cat amp, a pedal, or anything else from the range, this is genuinely one of the best windows to grab it at a price that'll make you very happy indeed.
