Holy crap!

Don't think i've seen a thread here about this before so.... I'd like to draw your attention to "Fame" guitars on www.musicstore.com. I thought they were just another cheapass shop-brand guitar, then I saw this

http://www.musicstorekoeln.de/en/E-Gitarren/3_42_GEGIT_59_GIT0003514-004/0/0/0/detail/musicstore.html

Turns out that they're handmade in Poland,
I want it, and its only €700, hell of a lot cheaper than a similarly spec'd PRS, and they woods/hardware/build/finish quality looks top notch too.

Their website fame-guitars.com won't load for me, I just get a white page in both IE and Firefox.

As it turns out, they make handmade valve amps,

and ridiculously priced, quality speaker cabs

Yup got the new musicstore catalogue in the door this morning and they are really pushing the fame and framus stuff in it. Some of the fame guitars in it look fantastic with their spalted maple and Burl-Eye maple tops

david

I dont like anything quilted or spalted! Subtle flame maple is what i'd like, I think i might actually get that Forum IV, how much is musicstore shipping?

Kenny_D

Its around the same as thomann. Maybe a little more but not much. Bought my first guitar and amp from musicstore and the service was great

david

€15 the website says, but the prices are listed at german VAT, so that guitar is up another €30 @21% hmmm... time to start saving i think

Top of their page, €15 shipping to Ireland, €13 more for COD.
