Fair Deal in Brummyland is REALLY good, I love the place.
Fair Deal is the nicest place IMO with good prices.
PMT is overpriced and a lot of the staff are rather unhelpful. They do stock Gibson however, what Fair Deal does not.
I`ve been in PMT far too many times and sometimes even was set on buying something and then I thought "f*ck, I`m not giving these guys my money!"
Letting me try a 200+£ reverb pedal only on an MG15.... trying to convince me that the BOSS they have in stock is much better than the (much more expensive) pedal I wanted to buy (and which of course they would have had to order).
Not having basic stuff in stock.
Ridiculous prices on stuff you get a lot cheaper from GAK or Thomann...
Basic result - I'd rather order something online than buy at PMT.
Ironically the guitar repair guy, very nice fellow and very competent, is not acutally employed by PMT, but freelance.
There`s also one store I think its City Music OR Reverb in Birmingham, it`s small but the staff is friendly and they have a lot of good Orange and Hughes&Kettner gear.
