    well, music maker have been having a sale since last week, the prices are quite decent, i only looked at tele's but the mexican ones were beating X music's price and the american ones were under €1000

    Also the variax's are dirt cheap, around the 400 mark from 700 for Pod owners


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 701 ✭✭✭BarryCreed


    great idea!

    I'll keep my eyes peeled for jazzmasters...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,706 ✭✭✭Voodu Child


    Its more of an anti-bargain alert (:pac:) but apparently Gibson and Epiphone prices are rising by 20% next week. So anyone who had been planning on maybe picking something up before Christmas should keep an eye on the prices or contact your dealer or whatever.

    Great Euro/Sterling rate at the moment (for buying gear from the UK) FWIW.
    €1 = £0.85 :pac:

    I can recommend this seller. Got 4 packs of elixirs delivered for €32 within a week, with free sweets!

    Equivalent price incl delivery with Thomann: €62 (actual product cost ex shipping is €47).

    They were even cheaper a few months ago, I got an Epiphone Les Paul Custom off them in July, possibly August, for £389, now £529. They were very good to deal with, they let me play a Gibson Les Paul Custom while I was looking at the Epi, that was £1999 at the time, I think it's around 2.3K now

    Thats good to know. I was looking at some of their Ibanez range and they are priced the same as on gak.co.uk, the cheapest online source I can find.

    I might pay them a visit soon.

    PRS SE EG £195 (~€210) plus shipping

    http://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/electric_guitars_detail.asp?stock=08022614040728

    It wouldn't be my cup of tea, but those PRS SEs are good quality guitars and for that kind of money its a great deal. Doesnt say a lot about them (are they ex-demo etc.) or even if it was a limited offer thats expired, but at that price, doesnt cost anything to ask.

    It seems like theres a lot of interest in nabbing bargains from the UK what with Sterling falling a lot lately, so heres a few good UK guitar shops for comparing prices:
    GAK
    Coda Music
    Sounds Great Music
    Guitar Guitar
    MachineHead Music
    Andertons

    There are a lot more that I can't think of, so anyone who wants to add to the list please do.

    Nice one. I`ve had a look at the ones listed and found "my" guitar for £635.99 + delivery on andertons, which they quoted me £30, bringing the total to £665.99 as opposed to the current gak price of £869!

    I dont want to seem like I picking on gak, but I was so disappointed with the huge increase.

    Anyway I sent gak another e-mail with a link to the andertons price and asked them could they match it.:D

    The only slightly awkward thing with andertons is they want a bank transfer rather than CC payment. Anyone dealt with them before?

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,706 ✭✭✭Voodu Child


    There's a sale on in Instrumental on the Quays.

    I havent been there in years, not a fan of the shop, so I don't know what kind of value is to be had. But some sort of sale anyway, pop in and have a look if you're interested.

    20% off U-box items. Now we're talking :D

    Wow, is that 20% off the listed price?

    There's quite a few Gibson Robots going there which seem pretty cheap though I'm not sure what the going rate for those is at the moment.
    e.g. this SG:
    3119171901.jpg
    ~€835 ex vat

    I know nothing about PRS but I can't imagine this is a bad price:
    Blah, just search for em.
    There's a couple ~€300 / €370 ex vat.


    etc, etc....

    With 144 pages on the UBOX at the moment we really need a seperate thread for it.

    Grrr, links aren't static - edited in info

    P.S. How do you post an image as a thumbnail here? If a mod wants to do it for me feel free, that ^^^ is too large IMO

    How does the U-Box thang work...

    The guiatars are priced in black and red.........do we pay the red price?

    And then do we get that 20% discount too.....or is that 20% included in the price quoted???

    Including tax JPY 207,900<---TAX included
    Tax removal (JPY 198,000)<---TAX exempted

    It says that at the bottom of the page. International customers pay the cheaper price. There's a Martin 00028 for €1573. Knock the 20% and it looks tempting, though with duties and all it would add up

    Expensive piece of kit, but the TC Electronic G System is £975 on gak.co.uk
    That works about at about €1100 for a savage pedalboard.

    some great prices on dolphin music.. has anyone used them,, do the charge 4 shipping to ireland..

    Bought a Gibson Les Paul from them in '06 (when they still sold them) and there was a delivery charge to Ireland if I remember correctly. I had email exchanges with their guitar man about Gibsons and unlike most other sites at the time he had a picture of the exact gutiar I'd be buying so I was able to see the finish which was the selling point.

    Hi everyone,

    I just found this class new place based in northern ireland called Total Music Supplies......their seriously good, a friend of mine got a few items this week and reckons he made a saving of around 50%!!

    www.totalmusicsupply.com

    This looks a bit like spam doesn't it ? Albeit perhaps friendly spam. You've got Euro pricing which is a plus and it seems like it's relevant to the current currency exchange. Don't see a Laser sign though so you get minus points there.

    Funny, when you select Ireland as the country (top right hand corner) you get a flashing banner saying "Ireland's cheapest bestest most amazing site" , or something similar. Then when you select UK the banner changes to a UK's lowest pricest banner
