The Admiral Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 I was up in Glasgow earlier the is week and popped into said retailer, as, now I live I rural Staffs, my nearest shop is about 25 miles away. Amazing stock, including 3 left handed Rick basses - which kind of tells you how much they carry. Pretty much anything you could want Fender wise, Peavey's, Yamaha, and some Lakland etc. plus of course about 200 or 300 Strats and Teles, and a huge choice of Les Paul's. Well worth a look if you are in town. Interestingly, there are also a couple of pawn shops over the road, which clearly focus on guitars, and one had a really nice 1980s Aria bass in the window, albeit for £650, but they also had one of the limited edition Eric Clapton Martin small bodied acoustics and some nice old 'weird and wonderful' stuff too, including some great 60s semis. A great way to spend an hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cameronj279 Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Was in there today. The 88 thumb bass they have in there keeps taunting me. Good shop and always really friendly whenever I've been in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lefrash Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 merchant city music was just 100 yards up the road, hopefully you had a gander in there too. I almost never go into any of the shops these days! although my bus goes by GuitarGuitar and I like looking in the window! haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeFRC Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 I like that shop. Once gave me a £450 amp for free... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sblueplanet Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 I avoid this store and all the other local guitar shops. They keep taking my money! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xilddx Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 I have a Billy Finlayson classical guitar, AFAIK he designs and specs them and has them made in China, then sets them up himself when they arrive in the UK. It's a fantastic instrument. The guy really knows what he's doing, I imagine he's a brilliant luthier/tech. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbayne Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 I bought an Epiphone Thunderbird classic IV from them last week via mail order. On arrival here in London, I expected to do a bit of work on it to set it up and make it playable, but it played great straight out of the box!
