GAK - Nows the time to buy. €1 = 90p

Kenny_D · 12-12-2008 06:04PM #1

Sterling hit 90p to the euro today. Time to take a visit to our friends at gak.co.uk

All plans of my bacchus/tokai LP are out the window and I have my eye on another jap guitar from gak thats working out about 300-350 cheaper than musicstore/thomann.

If anyone spots any particularly good bargains to be had please post them here

Doctor J · 12-12-2008 06:20PM

Yeah, the 51 Precision for €500 on gak is particularily tempting right now

Darkstrike · 12-12-2008 06:23PM

Oh man, this could get dangerous, do they charge shipping?

BuddhaJoe · 12-12-2008 06:28PM

Oooh la la!

Kenny_D · 12-12-2008 08:52PM

They do charge shipping but its something like £25 for a guitar. Not something you really have to worry about with gak. Free shipping on certain things

Cracking amp I picked up recently is a steal on GAK:

And sure by then it'll be £1 for €1.

-=al=- · 12-12-2008 10:09PM

Some places across the border are already advertising that €1 = £1 in their windows to help entice people across...

but its not very patriotic to do that of corse!

Probably the only lefty they have that I looked at twice, the selection isnt huge tbh

-=al=- · 12-12-2008 11:02PM

i would like one, with a pickup change it could be a nice machine, hey its a lefty that isnt black! mahogony body, flamed maple top, medium frets, nice thickness neck and scale, trems alrite, its worth a look if ur a lefty, last years model was blue, the year before was orange, this is by far the nicest colour going for it

and the selection is never huge! usualy 3 or 4 ****y guitars

Kenny_D · 13-12-2008 01:23AM

Got my order in earlier for a new guitar and two pedals

Patricide · 13-12-2008 03:43AM

I have been staring at this for the last two weeks and every day its getting that little bit cheaper. I reckon it would cost me under €750 delivered. €999 on thomman.

Free delivery on this one too!

johnboy8 · 13-12-2008 12:08PM

soundslive.co.uk is another good uk site,bought a few things off them.

Patricide · 13-12-2008 09:33PM

So have I, pleasure to deal with.

fguihen · 13-12-2008 10:34PM

its great, I saved almost 500 euros on irish store prices by letting GAK take care of my GAS.

Getting back into guitar after i pretty much stopped playing due to college commitments. decided to treat myself to this:

In stores in Ireland ( not naming any store directly) i was quoted over the phone roughly 1500 for the American Deluxe Strat. Got it on GAK for a little over 900 euros. the money saved will be spent on an amp eventually.

jimi_t · 14-12-2008 09:49PM

Oooooohhhh...

600 delivered from GAK, 800 on thomann...

Kenny_D · 14-12-2008 11:20PM

How much more black could it be?!

Well the smoked chrome stuff could be black...........

Or did you want the 'ol Nigel Tufnell "None, none more black":D

jimi_t · 15-12-2008 01:34AM

I've always been of the Hotblack Desatio school of design

I've been gassing over one for about 3 years, and I've money coming in...I'm tempted to wait till January though to see if the exchange rate will hit par; the exchange rate you get on a credit card is never as good as proper exchange rates. Not like they're going to sell out of Aerodynes in the meantime.

(OT : Started a similar bargain thread in Music Production - Some great kit to be had, esp. mics and studio monitors)

Well I was just talking about the body, but I suppose you could get black tuners, bridge, knobs, pickups without pole pieces, strings and frets!

OK-Cancel-Apply · 15-12-2008 01:41AM

I can't take it! Stop it!!!

Come on lads, we don't need any gear right now! I know for a fact that most of you have at least 5 or 6 guitars and/or basses. As Mr Burns would no doubt agree, you'd be happier WITH the dollar!

Ok..I'm off to get that Red Special!
