    musician inc are sound, musicmaker a bit freaky but sound

    waltons/instrumental = arses.

    In fairness to instrumental they did offer us (gigsmart) a nice discount to our cardholders and they're also sponsoring something Trem-gigsmart-endus of which more will be revealed soon!

    second amendment, so to speak... they're not gone, they moved, to the aforementioend place in clarendon or fitzwilliam street. it's the one way that leads down towards stephen's green centre anyhow... i can't ever remember them being anywhere else...

    I done an interview for a job in Music Maker years ago while I was on my lunch break fom HMV ....... I think there were 3 diffrent stages of interview, I got to the second oh well....always though that would be a cool job....although I'd say the pay is crap........

    the only reason I go into guitar shops anymore is to get strings...... once you've got a decent guitar (1993 american fender stratocaster w/ seymour duncan humbucker at the bridge) an amp and some effects there's no need really.........although I would like one of those univibe pedals

    ther should still be a second hand pod version 1 in instrumental with a footswitch. i traded it in last week against a flextone.
    its a great shop the guys are sound and they know their stuff.
    Music Maker do have that whole im better than u thing goin on which sucks cos the customer is always right were the ones paying their wages.

    So other than Walton's, where can you get a decent Epiphone Les Paul?

    I'm talking about a lovely LP Classic, with 2 seymour duncan pickups, and a beautiful Sunburst Flametop, and silver Hardware. *Dribble Dribble Dribble*

    not trying to rain on yer parade but don't bother with an epiphone,had mine for two years and it sounds good and looks great but ain't the most reliable, if i had a penny for every time the jack input broke... etc,stupid little things go wrong and it never stays in tune regardless of how you string it, it makes me cry. get a job for another 6months and go by the real deal you wont regret it.

    a gibson is for life...

    that is SO true (shakes head).

    input jacks :
    pickup switch :
    tuning is crap (always the b string - ALWAYS went out)
