No.Tom Guitars

Universal8

Any good ? Just seen something on Reverb I fancy but I know Denmark street can be a bit of a minefield.

Is it the ‘51 Nocaster? I paid less for my 2 story extension

They seem fine in person at least, @peteri you bought from them?

They seem awfully expensive, but have some nice stuff in.

I guess it's whether you like having a boutique around or you want the cheapest.

I came close to making an offer on a Rickenbacker bass there last year.

No it’s a Martin.

I've known No Tom main man Ron for 20 years or so, since he ran the first Reso Centre in the Angel. He is legit.

Good prices on some , crazy on others. Seems to shift a lot of stock, not much seems to hang around on the website. 

Sold a 1941 0-15 for 4K recently. Wow. I have one of those...

That seems about right, some good prices some others to make your eyes bleed. 

The staff seemed friendly enough whenever I bought a few bits and pieces.

What if you want at least some Tom?

Don't make them tap the sign.

Got my first vintage from them about 5 years ago. Got a reasonable deal. 

As a shop I like them, they’re nice to hang out in and have some interesting stuff. 

A lot of the pricing I struggle with and stuff seems to hang there a long while because of it.

Bought a pedal from them once. It was the most expensive thing in the shop I could afford.

Edit: I feel it worth noting they were/are very cool when I visit. Never make you feel like you're wasting their time which several of the other shops on Denmark St can be guilty of.

I reckon you probably just need to consider the number of items on sale against the likely rent and staff payments, and compare that with other stores nearby and around the country to get a feel for the markup required to not go bankrupt

I’ve dealt with this shop. Great service and wouldn’t hesitate to deal with them again. Dealt with a guy called Ron, knows how to look after a customer.

I've been into the store several times and not had any bad experiences. Quite happy to let you try things out and have some great stock.

Just listed a few old Gibsons. Wow. 8.5k for a 60s Dove...
Here was I thinking their prices were ok-ish

Nice shop that often has some nice stock, but I agree that while prices on some things can be reasonable, prices on other things can be way overpriced.

Wow, that is case in point!
