Levinson in the UK

MrBump

Does anyone know of any UK retailers selling Levinson guitars? I can see Thomann sells them.

Scan computers.....

Yeah that's what I thought, but they do.  

I recently played a mate's Blade and wanted to check out their availability.  They were the only place I could find with any level of stock.

That's bonkers.

Not a phrase i would normally use (or even type) but......  WTF ?

I was surprised by that as well - I was at the party to launch the Steve Rothery signature model blade and havent seen any other mention of it other than scan, they do some nice guitars though.

I've just bought a 90's Blade Texas Deluxe, came yesterday. Great neck, has some wiring issues but off to my tech this weekend.

Jason at www.highendguitars.co.uk used to do, possibly still does lots of Levinson Blade guitars, give him a shout.

Scan selling them is very strange... I can't imagine how that deal worked out. Did the Blade distributors contact them?

I've just had a look, and to be fair the Scan site does have a decent music/audio section now.  I've only ever used them for computer components.  And Bolton is a feck of a long way from Essex...

They also have Fret King and PRS SE/S2 guitars.

I guess this is my main reason for asking.

I just think it's one of the most beautiful guitars I've seen.  And I'm not usually one for aesthetics.

In some ways it looks nice, but a humbucker in the bridge of an S style guitar is just wrong, and makes the whole thing look wrong.

They might be difficult to track down but it will be worth the effort.  I have 4 Blades and they are truly great guitars

My friend played one for years and it was an excellent guitar - Same colour and everything

She was absolutely gutted when she had to sell it
