The Pro Shop at John Henry's has been developed as a "one-stop shop", especially geared towards touring professionals and the working musician.

Open seven days a week, The Pro Shop services the diverse requirements of an enormous worldwide client base. We carry a massive inventory of spares and accessories for equipment and instruments and are specialists in sourcing more unusual items from our global network of contacts.

Having grown up in an industry where "We Want it Yesterday" is the norm, we know how important it is to have the goods available and delivered on time. Our clients know that we will always do our best to match their specific requirements and, if required, will ship world-wide, at a moment's notice.

Undoubtedly stocked with the most diverse selection of accessories and spares in the UK, the Pro Shop carries over 40 different types of guitar pick alone, not to mention the UK's largest selection of Remo drumheads. In addition we carry all types of adhesive tape, guitar and bass strings, cables, pedals, drumsticks and drum accessories, polish, fuses, valves and the Showcase Music Yearbook. You name it - we stock the lot! If you are looking to equip for your forthcoming tour or desperately need a DAT tape on a Sunday, get in touch. If you wish, you can E-mail or fax your order in advance and we can prepare it for same or next day collection, subject to availability.

The Pro Shop plays an important part in supporting the John Henry's Artist Endorsement Programmes for Arbiter, DR Strings, Elite Strings, Gibralter, Remo, Sabian, Toca and Vic Firth amongst others.

"..... OK, OK, I know this story is long overdue but for those that know Bazz and ask about his whereabouts, better late than never...Bazz has finally hung up his "strings & things” and is now rocking and rolling in the USA. He has also recently married his ol' sweetheart Rosanne and we wish them well. Bazz had been "on the road" since 1958 and has worked for the likes of Santana, The Band, The Nice, Derek and the Dominoes, Medicine Head, Gary Glitter, Stiff Little Fingers, Iron Maiden, The Sex Pistols, and more recently Gary Moore in a long and eventful career.

Bazz came to work for JHL in 1982. He was part of the Backline Rental department but soon assumed the mantle of Department Manager. He is without doubt, one of the most knowledgeable guys in the business and so drawing on his experience in 1989 we set up "The ProShop". A "one stop shop" where rehearsing, gigging, touring and recording artistes could get just about any spares and equipment they needed from one place. No matter where they were, Bazz would always go out of his way to deliver the goods on time. There are many legendary stories of his exploits but we'll save these for another time. Taking up the reins at The ProShop is Bazz's assistant Mr Chris Griffiths, who has now developed his own knowledge of all things "accessories". John Henry's are about to open our very own “online" store so watch this space...................... "

JHL have just taken delivery of these very popular heavy duty USA made professional Touring/Studio folding guitar/bass stand cases to add to our extensive range of accessories and due to high demand have added them into our Rental stock. See them at www.ultracase.com

Also in their range is the very compact "Tech Box" which is a must for all guitar techs. This unit is the size of a standard briefcase and weighs about 8kgs.  The case has three tool/string/accessory boxes and there are two folding neck holders. The case comes fitted with a "Littlelite" 18" goose neck for low light conditions.

JHL have just taken delivery of these amazing watertight and crush proof cases that offer total protection in virtually any situation. The body of the case is a structural copolymer resin. Incorporated into the shell of the case is a pressure purge valve to allow pressure equalisation. A neoprene "O" ring in the lid ensures that that the tongue and groove seal remains watertight.The cases are also lockable and comes in various sizes. See them at www.peliproducts.co.uk

Peli have also just launched a new line of professional torches  with a whole new technological innovation........RECOIL LED Technology, this provides a focused beam of light previously unobtainable from standard LED torches.

Want to feel the music? These units allow you to experience every thump, thrust and shake...... JHL are now stocking these very popular products as drummers need their butts kicked! No, only joking....The Aurasound and ButtKicker are small linear motors which react to an audio signal sent by the amplifier. Attached to a seat/stool, they work in the same way, sending a low frequency sound directly into the drummer's butt/body .....the effect is amazing. They can also be used for other applications such as home cinemas and studio monitoring etc to get the feel of the moment so to speak.

See them at www.aurasound.com and www.thebuttkicker.com

JHL have been appointed main stockist for these fantastic hard wearing Workware gloves which come in a large variety of styles and sizes. Made in the USA, are of high quality and great for all manual handling situations. They also look so good you could wear them when going out to dinner, show, theatre, gig etc while making that extra special impact and having everyone ask.... " where did he get those amazing hand protectors ?" ......see them at www.ironclad.com

JHL have been the main dealer for these USA made tuners for quite some time and have seen the development of their range through the years. Their new units are simply ahead of the game. Peterson have recently brought out a few new products, our hot favorite is the ‘Strobo Flip’. This nifty little tuner has all the functionality of the big boys but small enough to fit in your pocket! Peterson have also updated their ‘Strobo Stomp’ to the aptly named ‘Strobo Stomp 2’ The StroboStomp2™ replaces the original Peterson StroboStomp-the world's first Virtual Strobe™ tuner in a stompbox!
