I have an Epiphone 335. It's a nice guitar although probably about 15 years old now I'd have no issues buying one - you can always send it back if you change your mind after trying it. Unfortunately there are not many physical shops left where you can walk in and try stuff out. But you do have the distance selling regulations which state "You must tell the customer they can cancel their order up to 14 days after their order is delivered. They do not need to give a reason for cancelling." (Dunno if this applies to used stuff on eBay though?)
@Dubs If you fancy a trundle out of "Nelsons County" pop down to Huntingdon. There's a cracking guitar shop there called Music Street. The chaps are very knowledgeable and helpful. Young un wanted a reverb pedal so I took him yesterday. They set up an amp and a few different pedals for him to try and asked him which guitar he wanted to play. He has an Epiphone Les Paul so they gave him a Gibson Les Paul to play! Needless to say, he was very happy and when I saw the £2799.00 price tag on it I was very happy when he finished playing and gave it back to them!!! Anyway, if you do venture out then don't forget Bureau De Change on the way out cos they don't accept groats or turnips!! Clicky Linky Thing
We do actually have a physical guitar shop thats recently opened in town, but it only appears to sell £100 ish, unknown brands unfortunately. I guess they are easier to sell nowadays.. I guess I could just put it back on ebay if I dont like it, so the only real obstacle is convincing Mrs Dubs that i need another guitar..
Ha, did he try and convince you to buy him the Gibson while you were there? Im off for a peruse of their website, cheers for the link
We have Sounds of Frome here. It’s a great shop with guitars. Ben going for as long as I can remember. Used to be called Sounds International. Give Kim a ring, he can get you most stuff, if he hasn’t got it already.
I've got an Epiphone Casino along with my collection of Fenders and Ovations. It's nice and light and has a decent sound when not plugged in, so you can play without disturbing the rest of the household .............. too much.
