05 — From the customers
What players tell us
“The set-up sheet in the box told me the exact action and relief. No other UK retailer has ever done that for me.”
“Spoke to someone who actually plays before I ordered. Ten minutes on the phone saved me buying the wrong thing.”
“Packed better than anything I've had from the big box shops. Arrived in tune and ready for the gig that night.”
