Anyone ordered from GuitarGuitar or Gear4Music?
« on: November 01, 2011, 11:03:38 AM »
Just a quick question - I've never ordered from either of these places and I'm wondering if their websites are reliable when they say "in stock"?  Can't be arsed phoning.

Anyone used them?

Yep, GuitarGuitar I've used a couple of times and they've been spot on.

I've not used Gear4Music though.

I've not used Gear4Music but have used GuitarGuitar a few times and they are probably the best place I bought from online.  Their stock is real time updated and they even give you a nice phone call after you have ordered just to confirm everything.

I'm never going to regard 7 or 8 grand as a bargain, but it does seem more justifiable for a PRS than an Ibanez.

Not because of any snobbery about where it's made (I love MIJ guitars), but at least the PRS models fit into a pricing structure, whereas that's about three times the price of any other Ibanez!

I've bought something from Gear4Music without issue before.
Can't remember what it was though  :?

That Fireman will be quite a collector though... it has got the "full fat" Paul Gilbert neck on it too.

Mammoth tusk or not, its the Ibanez for me. Having said that, 7k is ridiculous for it, but thats what they go for.

It's a fine guitar, I'm sure, but who's going to pay £7,495 for it?  

Especially with the £900(?) Chinese version on the way at some point, with most of the features including the pickups (shame it won't be korina though)

i would think the mahogany one will be pretty close in tone.  i'm sure that korina one is a brilliant guitar, and it's the one i'd go for too, but it's at least twice the price it should be.  in fact, closer to £2000 would be more acceptable.
