Now what will become of your family business?

I've spent the last two years sorting that out and splitting it up so that each person gets their own share. I decided to do something different with my bit!

Excellent news! I'm sure we can all stop grumbling about lack of stock in UK dealers now! I think the phrase will be 'one stop soution'?

I'm sure you will be offering us some great deals as well? Eh? Eh?;)

Just realised I will have a guitar on order with you as well (the JP Dargie Delight)!!! I promise not to start hassling you about delivery dates just yet though!:D

PS You sure about putting your own collection in the shop? Just thinking about those many be-studded teenagers queing up to add their buckle rash????:eek:

Dave,

That's absolutely superb news.

Good luck in your new venture, as a man looking to buy a Rivera amp as soon as the funds allow, I look forward to doing some business with you before very long.

Hang on I've just had a thought.

You're going to have to be a bit careful with this one.
In the same way that my Dad getting a job at a patisserie spelled the end of his 32" waist,
Isn't putting a man like yourself who to be fair already has 'a bit of a guitar collection' at the helm of a shop full of quality guitars roughly akin to Ollie Reed buying a vineyard ?

I've known this for a while now and had to hold back but now its all confirmed.

I have now agreed to buy www.machinehead.co.uk

I will hopefully be taking over the shop in October.

I am so stoked!

Dave

P.S. and I can stock the shop for years with my personal collection ;)


Wooooooooooooooooo

Dave - top news, It's a great shop, I hope you make it better a kick the ass of certain chains in the UK!

Well done Dave, and I wish you every success in your new venture. Finally for us EBMM fanatics there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I will support you any way I can. Good luck!

Congratulations - Machinehead already have one of the best reputations in the UK not only for stock but also for customer service - I've had 3 guitars and a bass from them over the years and each time the service has been second to none!

I wish you every success with your new venture and look forward to hopping on the train up to Hitchin to see what's on offer!

(EB Petrucci on the way - should arrive later this week!)

Oh no, I'll have split loyalties now!!! I love the guys at guitarguitar....but you're an EBMM forumite. Yikes. Ah well, I'll have to order a guitar from each of you when I get GAS again :D

How does the song go again... "D.I.V.O.R.C.E"?

That's where I got my Axis from last week! Great shop, excellent service. They also do a great customisation service - check out their workshop page for lovely pics of a couple of Les Pauls with floyds on! All the best with this business venture, you are guaranteed to get some of my cash before too long...
