Wow dude! Please tell me your secret! I looked through all of london for the fender I wanted and I still don't have it! (also because it's really expensive...)
What did you get anyway?

Hi Jerm: this can't still be the Deluxe Player's Strat you're talking about, can it? Honey blonde you wanted, wasn't it?

They're available all over the place. For example:

€585, it says. Is that too expensive?

If you still can't find that in Holland you don't have to come back to Britain: most of our shops will mail it to you quite cheaply...

Cheers - C

PS: I have a notion that the "merchandise" Niki was talking about may not have been guitars...

Wow man! That's an iron memory you got there!
No, 585 is fine, I mean, that's the best price I could get, probably. It's only that cheap because of the euro in comparison to the sterling pound.
I already tried with this other guitar store, but they didn't have it in store and said they couldn't guarantee the price.
Now the only thing I have to do is to start whining to my parents to lend me money, haha.

Thanks a lot man.

Ha - thank you! But yes and no: you'll notice I couldn't quite remember whether you wanted a maple or rosewood fingerboard. Hell, it was more than six months ago we were discussing it, wasn't it?

BTW: many other shops sell that guitar. Just go to UK Google at www.google.co.uk and type in "Fender Deluxe Players Strat Honey Blonde Maple [or Rosewood]", and you'll get plenty of options...
