Musicman20 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 (edited) Hey So as some of you guys/gals know, I have had a somewhat awful and tricky journey to buying a new Fender Jazz USA. I have decided to go for the White with Tort guard and maple neck. Such a nice combo. Given up on PMT, and Reverb kept quoting me different prices! Any decent Fender stores who can do good prices? As in I order and they match (or closely match) someone like gak.co.uk. I absolutely refuse to pay more than about £30-40 over a website. Simply because Ill have to travel anyway! Or pay shipping anyway! GuitarGuitar have offered me a good price...anyone used them? Its the Newcastle branch (an excuse to go up North and party as well ) They also replied quickly and promised it would not be a demo like PMT! Also, Nevada music have offered me the same price. Dont know what those guys are like. Any shops about? Tried Electro PMT and Reverb so far. Electro are my normal store but they cant match internet prices of £829...which is a shame. I know retail has gone up...but come on every shop should be gagging to sell in this climate! Edited March 31, 2009 by Musicman20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's cheaper because they don't have to heat the place where you stand to argue about the price :-) Obviously you should haggle but you can't get high and mighty about paying amount x over the web price. It is, as the marketing folk say, a different product. Guitar Guitar are IMHO perfectly ok to deal with. At least the Glasgow branch is.

garethb Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Don't know where you're based but these guys in the NW are great and though they prob won't have it in stock they are a Fender (& Custom shop) dealer. - and will be able to get what you want. Customer service is 2nd to none and usually good on price.

Mr Fudge Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I really wish you had called this thread "Jazz Odyssey". Good luck and nice colour combo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 There are some Lakland's for sale here on BC. They stack up very well against a Fender, ever considered one of those? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delivery was either £6 or £10, I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
