I buy equipment from a variety of sources, but my number one place to shop for equipment is just up the road in Ormskirk. My good friends at Sound Affects are a great local firm with friendly knowledgable staff with great customer service. So if you are after a copy of John's Rickenbacker, Paul's Violin Bass, George's Gretsch or even Jimi's Strat...then give them a call or better still call in and let Tim, Andy and the crew know that Stu sent you!!!! 

other perveyors of fine instruments

Some other retailers that have i recently bought guitars or amps from.
