Was out in X Music...

Good deal there with a Fender USA Start or Tele...it comes with a free Champion 600 - 5 watt class A. They'll actually give you a Champ 600 then and there and claim the free one themselves, handy bit of kit if you're into small amps for studio work.

Any idea of prices?

Whoops, my bad! €999 for a US strat and the amp. It's gotta be the best deal around at the moment.

sorry totally irrelevant but.....i always buy my gear online on thomann and places like that......but i decided to give xmusic a bit of business as i want an orange AD30 amp head and also an orange cab.....all priced around 2000euro. I rang up to see if they would have it in stock....they said they would get someone from the guitar department to ring me back asap. that was last week.........so feck it! Gave local business a chance! Back to the internet i go!!!!! Are they really that busy in there???!!!!!

went into x music a while ago looking for a toneport ux-8..it wasn't on display but i asked and one of the sales people brought one up from storage...
he said it was around €500... i was going to buy but decided not to. checked out music maker and there was about 12 on display on special offer - €345....so i made a purchase in music maker... some difference in price...

x music is good place to go and try out some gear though..

Special offer though, yeah? It's always good to shop around, and not to send this way off-topic, but I have to say X-Music are the closest thing this country has to a Guitar Center. There was a time in Dublin where you'd be hard-pushed to find a shop who'd do a simple set-up or a basic service on a guitar.

+ 1.

Yeah, it's great to have such a big place in Ireland. I just hope they don't end up with the same level of non-expertise as the GC guys. See link below from Gearslutz on Guitar Center misinformation (funny)

Haha that IS funny. Though I mean when I'm going to spend any considerable amount of money - on anything beyond a few strings or what have you - I always do my homework. GC always have a great stock, was in the GC in New Orleans last Summer, it's the third biggest in the country IIRC. The amount of stuff they had on-hand was pretty incredible.

Yeah, they are great. I was in the one on 14th Street (I think) in New York last year. I couldn't get over the amount of stuff they had. They also had a whole room devoted to acoustic guitars too. The also didn't mind me doing "Stairway to heaven" all day long:D

I found them very helpful and patient.

I have seen that promotion on a few of the UK sites also http://www.soundslive.co.uk/product~name~Fender-American-Standard-Stratocaster---MN~ID~8279.asp I think the offer is on all US Standrad Tele's and Strats

Royale with Cheese

Wish I had €999 lying around for this right now, exactly what I'm looking for.

Yes it is, but I doubt you'd get a Strat for anything less than €999 even on Thomann and second you mail away for the amp whereas x music give you one then and there.

mr biazzi
