I haven't used them online but they're great people in-store - super helpful

I've had 3 or 4 guitars off them over the years. Always good to deal with.

I was browsing the site only last night, seriously considering a strat purchase

I bought a tokai LS150 from them a few years ago, fantastic service.

Awesome company and really helpful

It’s a shame Jason McNamara isn’t there anymore. Has anyone filled his shoes as a perfect west-meets-east interpreter?

brooom

They had Johan in there, who was great with customer follow up and great west-meets-east interpreter as well. Unfortunately I think he left a couple of weeks ago. But they're a great store, really nice service. I've bought lots of stuff from them.

Don't forget to add VAT.

+ Cites (for anything Rosewood)

And potentially import tax?

Yes I bought a tele direct from them whilst living in Australia and then a fuzz pedal when here in the UK, both times = great service.

Yes twice .I bought an Aerodyne Tele ad a TN-SPL thinline Fender Japan from them .Arrived quickly but you have about 20% VAT to pay on item  and postage cost  plus 12 quid  Post office handling charge .The Aerodyne  arrived in 3 days and no customs but that was a while back in 2007 .I dare not look on the site .They also were on Ebay .if Fender Japan is in mind worth remebering most are 7.5 radius (184)
