They have some SERIOUSLY nice stuff in....I've been close to liberating that Epiphone Coronet from there for the last 2 years but it's just such a faff for me to get there from Worcester!

Strat54

Owned by the bass player of The Fabulous Penetrators Clement Cachot-Coulom....think he's French.

I’ve known Clem for a decade and he’s an absolute gentleman, and straight as they come- the calibre of his stock attests to that too imo

To answer my own question, I've now got the 64 SG he had, and happy with it.

Like most vintage guitars, it was a bit of a journey - Clem and I found out a few things along the way about the guitar.

What I'm very happy about is the whole experience - Clem travelled to me twice to let me demo the guitar, gave me all the time in the world, and even restrung some of my guitars while he waited (my string winding isn't to his standard apparently!)

Having picked up the guitar yesterday, it is honeymoon period - but the little value adds are very nice, a branded USB drive with all the pictures of the guitar on for example - very, very appreciated.

Throughout the process he's been remarkably BS free, unwilling to criticise other dealers, and just a nice guy to deal with - recommended!
