Best place to order from UK?

[craigbeal]

Im in the market for a Musicman guitar.

This was what i wanted to order...

The model is:

--------------------------------------------------------

MUSIC MAN SILHOUETTE SPECIAL
* 6 String Maple fingerboard
* Humbucker, Single, Single (HSS) pickup configuration

* Fixed bridge with Piezo pickup

*Vintage Sunburst 71
* White pearloid 05 pickguard

--------------------------------------------------------

Im guessing this would have to be ordered in but where is best and cheapest in your experience to order from in the UK??

Why don't you ask the UK Distributors Strings & Things Ltd, aka MusicMan UK if one of their dealers has that particular guitar in stock then, upon their response you can get in touch with the store that has it.

If no one has then you need to use an authorized dealer to order one for you.

Hi Craig

welcome to the forum. It's difficult to reply without knowing your location in the uk?- I could recommend somewhere in Cardiff but would that be near to you?

There is a forum member who owns Machinehead who are authorised stockists of EB Guitars.

Another way to go about it is to phone the UK distributors Strings and Things, tell them what you want, where you live and they will tell you your nearest stockist. Their website is here.

Looking at the time you posted GW, I'd say Spud was typing at the same time

yup - I was typing and getting the hyperlink info, so we both were typing at the same time - infact when I started there were no replies posted.

Here's the Strings & Things website for the North West

There's a good chance you may have to special order, although you might get lucky

I've had great service from Coda and Machinehead. They seem to be the best two stockists in UK that I've found.

There's virtually nothing in Manchester area in terms of decent stock. I know, I vist the shops there.

 

[peterd79]

without a doubt use strings and things as your resource... they're great guys

 

[craigbeal]

The best price so far is £1349 for this spec. Im guessing thats a good price?

Does anyone know what the trade price is for this sort of spec?

Craig.

Trade prices are not meant to be discussed on the forum. We're not supposed to know them and it wouldn't be fair to our retailers if we did. At the end of the day, they need to make a profit otherwise they won't be in business and we won't get our gear.
