I just went and had a look at that Winter Deals page - not to buy anything, just to see if I could tough it out...  :wink:

I see he still has that Tele!

I'll take most of my amps, and a selection of guitars.  If there's anything in particular you want me to take, let me know  :)

Haha. Take them all. All of them!

It's probably not worth asking you to list your guitars now as they will probably change before the meet!
I think I hate being indecisive.

Ha ha!  Probably!

I saw that Tele Phil, looks lovely.  He's had two people come to the shop to try it, and they've both left to think about it.  Err, you know what it is before you travel and the price is superb so what is there to think about????

I suspect if I actually tried it I wouldn't be able to resist.

£1,499 is still a lot of money, though, even when it's a (relative) bargain.

It was £899 cash  :o  That's why I had to have it!  I got it for £500 + my Gibson.

ah, that's not too bad. :)

i dunno, i mean you're the one who won't buy a custom guitar because you have to try it first to see if you like it...

yeah. i'm guessing they have different necks etc.?

either that or they just were curious and wanted to try it... :lol: or maybe they liked it but not the price...

I thought that too!

Speaking to Mark, he likes to do a few guitars at "Crazy Deal Prices" rather than knock £50 off everything.  That way, the bargain buyers rave to everyone about their great deal and he gets a load of potential new customers......

It's Guitars4You:  www.guitars4you.co.uk

That's 5 PRS's now  :oops:

And I'm on the lookout for the 6th (McCarty with solid rosewood neck).  Then I can decide which ones I like 'best' and just keep those...

Severe GAS alert for me and we're only a few hours into 2009! Bloody guitarist calendar with it's '54 relic tele and the guitars4you website are both equally to blame.
