Someone once told me a lot of these shops barely make any money on expensive instruments, and it's rather the cheapo stuff sold in bulk that's important. Like the picks, straps and strings, where they make pounds on pennies. Don't know to what extent is this true...
But Peach Guitars just had a Boss TE-2 on sale, apparently the last one because as I bought it, it went out of stock. Hope it's not a returned item 😅
