Anyone sellin a Musicman Luke?

[azzy_wazzy]

Well we intend to come back with enough cash to get.. um, a lot

(None of it for me mind you! Grrr)

Just make sure you have a Sterling or Bongo in to keep me occupied whilst Trev entertains himself with the amps etc in your basement, and a supply of biscuits, and I'll be happy

I have a couple on preliminary order, S&T were working out pricing whilst I was in NAMM and was talking it through with them today.

I wanted the Luke BFR that was at the show - didnt hear back so I guess no joy.

Got me some LE's in the pipe though.....

Can I have one of those koas, that was my favourite guitar in Dallas.

Dave

Dave if you get a Koa and you're buying for stock not your collection can you let me know..... My overtime and standby topped 91 hours this month, It's either a koa ball or a new Sofa, and my fat ass can sit anywhere!

I wasn't havin' a go earlier, I do appreciate how hard it is having a shop (16 years buyin' and sellin') since flea bay came along so many of the smaller shops have either changed direction or gone to the wall. I have always got bits n' bobs from machinehead (and I'm not saying your a small shop!) when passing through in the past, great shop, loads of potential.
I'll get off my soap box now.....

Smellybum out.

Has everyone decided to ignore the explanation then?

Dave

Hey Dave: No I have not ignored it but you told him at first to look at your shop site ,everybody including BP thought you will sell him a new guitar, so it felt not ok. If you would have made it clear it´s one of your personal guitars this whole discussion would have never come up. Cause we are all cool here Everything is clear and sober now.

But please and please and please, don´t you ever throw me again in one pot with the cyberstore you´ve mentioned above, Dave. We don´t welcome it too and this where to get it cheaper without service (and sometimes cases;-)) is a problem.

So everything is good and I hope Florian will have much fun with your guitar and great success.
Welcome Flo to the family!!

The only reason I responded in the first place was because the 2 Lukes I had in stock were used but "as new".

I wasnt "throwing you in the pot" but its amazing that Thomman can be so blatent about ignoring the rules and get away with it....we just get fed up of explaining to UK customers that the price on their website isnt the price you pay if you actually order anything.

Everything is cool now

They funny side of this from an international point of view is how many distributors and dealers want protection when they turn up to be the biggest offenders. Mick and Dave great resolution and it works best with you cooperating.

Mick and Dave dont be shy about promoting the passion and availability of our stuff from you. UYse Pete Dubaldo as a guide. It is a win win for all of us and I am baffled that more dealers dont establish a relationship here.

Haven't you German folks got some excellent highways?

Aachen to Landshut: 311 miles (501km) as the crow flies...

...and those 300 miles fly past when you are allowed to drive 100mph+ on the autobahn!

Nice town! A friend of mine from the UK who works for BMW lives nearby. Must go back for another visit soon and come and visit your shop!

Yes those are not bad sir.....but nevertheless it takes a lot time for just checking out some instruments.

...and those 300 miles fly past when you are allowed to drive 100mph+ on the autobahn!

I hope from the posts by happy forumites people can see what I'm trying to achieve. Good service is still available from people who care about what they sell and are prepared to back it up.

Its great that someone like The Stoner bought his Axis from us (before I knew he was a forumite) and raved about the service. He has since been back to buy an amp head too so I guess we must be doing something right

Now BP about that Koa Silo and endorsee clinics I need.....

Dave you're a stand up guy.

If I were in London you'd bet I'd be buying my guitars from you. As is, I'm leaning on my relatives to go buy something from you
