What's Hot
Has anybody dealt with them?  I live a long way away from them and am considering an expedition there. Any views welcomed. They certainly have some nice  guitars.  Thank you in advance.

    I think they post a lot on my local Facebook but always claiming it's just a person not a shop. Not sure why they'd need to do that.

    I'm sure it's a shop, not been but see the Facebook posts. They get some nice used stuff in, not always the keenest prices IMO mind.

  • Thank you everybody for your comments.  I think I'll let my desire for another guitar simmer and see how strong it is after a day or two!

    Admirable self control. I respect, envy but will never really understand people like you. :)

    Self control. I've heard of this. I'm sure there's a cure. Seek help immediately

    I wouldn't hesitate to deal with them. I've bought from them several times over a number of years, a friendly enthusiastic team and one of the most interesting music shops you'll find these days. Not always lowest prices but good stock, some vintage  and always willing to do a deal, trade etc.  I'd trust them fully, Martin and Brian are honest guys, if you have any doubts just speak to them. I should say I have no interest in the place other than being a long standing customer.

    I've known the owner for years and been in several times and bought a few bits. First class shop and they always have some interesting secondhand pieces in. The website is unfortunately a bit clunky and never up to date. Brian and Martin are great and I would have no hesitation dealing with them.

    I was in a couple of years ago, killing time before the match. Had some nice stuff in. Bloke we spoke to was pleasant enough. The yam sg guy off this forum has a fair bit of stuff in there..
     so if you fancy a reissue of a guitar they never made in a colour they never used then it probably isn't too overpriced.

  • Thank you everybody for your useful comments.  Having resisted for a few days, I had an outing to Berwick and came home with a lovely ES137 Custom and minus a couple of amps which are too heavy for me.  The shop has an exceptional range of unusual guitars (including a pre war L5.  Brian (the owner) and Martin, were very welcoming and helpful and I could have easily spent all day in there.  Berwick-upon-Tweed is worth a visit too.
