im trying to find acustom shop dealer in manchester pmt is supposed to be one but only have 1 in stock in london luton glasgow other custom shop dealers stock a huge range iknow i could order off the net but guitarist know you need to try a few till one feels and sounds just rightt as i have no car it would be to expensive to travel south

Had a similar dilemma myself - I live in Preston and there aren't any CS dealers anywhere about here, are there?

In the end I bought my 2011 Custom Deluxe from Peach Guitars in Braintree, Essex. I found from their website that they had the guitar I wanted (their site photos are of the actual guitars) and when I rang they were REALLY helpful. They said if I ordered the guitar I would have 7 days to try it. If after that I didn't like it, I could return it (they would arrange for the courier to collect it, too) and I'd only have to pay about 15 quid for the courier fee.

As it turned out the guitar was absolutely perfect, but if it hadn't been, then a 7 day trial and only £15 to return it was a lot better than driving 200-odd miles to Essex and back.

Just my experience, but it was a good one. Don't know if it helps, but there you are
