Off to Oz in October, NZ has distinctly average guitar stores so will visit one or two in Sydney.
Will be kinda shopping for a new one, possibly telecaster shaped but who knows. Fancy something single coil or at least with splittable H’s
Any recs on places to visit?
I’ve not visited guitar stores in Sydney, but Mannys is a pretty big music shop in Oz and they have a big store in Sydney. I would be going there at least.
Very woody! Is that a Reverend?
What’s your budget? My friend bought an American Ultra tele recently that he reckons is just awesome.
The absolute place in Australia (I just completed the big lap - circumnavigation in our RV) is in Melbourne. While there I played all sorts of boutique guitars you only read about in magazines and forums, Bourgeois, Santa Cruz, etc. I visited there twice in two days and would have played something like $125,000 worth of guitars.
If you choose to go to Melbourne another great guitar related experience is a tour of the Cole Clark factory. So very worth it.
I’m from near the southern area of Queensland, can give you details on a variety of guitar shops there if interested.
Don’t really have a budget but it’s not higher end tele.
I want a body / comfort cut and don’t like the squared off heel much either so not sure it’ll be a fender
Still tempted to build a partscaster tbh if I knew it would come out OK
Won’t be getting to Melbourne this trip but mebe another time, wouldn’t mind a look round the maton factory, Cole sound like great guitars also
OK looks like I am doing a roadie to Melb also so may call in here!
