luckyfret *Announcement*
I’m very sad to have to announce that after 6 years of trading, Lucky Fret has had to close its doors for good. It’s been one hell of a ride! Met some amazing people, made some great friends and played some of the best gear on the planet! I wanted to personally thank all of our customers and everyone who has supported us over the years. I also wanted to say a special thank you to everyone who has been part of our team - you’re all awesome, I’ve got some great memories, and it was a pleasure working with you! I like to think Lucky Fret made a really positive impact on the community and the industry as a whole. I’m really proud of what we achieved together, and I’ll miss it a lot. .
Onwards and upwards! Stay posted, I’m sure there will be exciting new things to come...
I was in Lucky Fret a couple of months ago, they were my nearest guitar shop.
I'd pop in to buy strings now and again & always popped downstairs to look at the vintage stuff. The last time I went the vintage section was almost empty & they told me CITIES had made it difficult for them to import export.... perhaps that's what did for them... cant see how they can compete on new stuff with the big box shifters.
I have been going by there daily to see if it had reponed, but I guess now I know it never will. Oh well, another one bites the dust
Been uploading old tracks I recorded ages ago and hopefully some new noodles here.
Yeah, it used to be VGB. It's a shame, the guy who ran it, Steve, always seemed like a very nice bloke and was always very accommodating with me. It was handy to have a guitar shop nearby for random stuff and they had a good pedal range (Chase Bliss, Death by Audio etc).
Agreed on the sales, the reductions were always a bit feeble - no proper bargains to be had.
NAG was further north, a beautiful space up past Old Street on the canal but was appointment only. I went once to check out something but booking an appointment always felt like more of a commitment to buy than just being able to stop by. Their range wasn't any more high end than somewhere like Coda and certainly not as extensive - on the electric side of things anyway. I have not ventured to their new out of town space.
I went to Coda the other week and was left to play in peace with some super high end stuff. No pressure, no hassle, just space to play and think. I am consistently impressed by those guys and if I have something to buy, I try and buy it there first.
